Summery Magnolia

WOW! May 1 is just 2 hours away. What happened to April? It sure did fly by quickly, didn't it? I am knee deep in end of the year school stuff but it is all good. 3 more weeks and the kids are out for the summer. Next week we look forward to our track and field day, the next week we have our annual talent show and the it is the last week with class picnics and 6th grade recognition. This year really went fast.

Our weather has been so nice lately. Very comfortable temperatures but yesterday it was very warm and humid and it made me think of this card I made back in January when we had lots and lots of snow on the ground. I thought if I made it, it might warm me up or at the very least remind me that spring and summer will get her eventually.

I used a Magnolia stamp from http://magnoliastamps.us/store2/ and then the Stampin Up set called Sparkling Summer for the summery items on the side. I used PaperTreyInk paper and colored it with my Copic markers.

Thanks for looking at my blog. I really enjoy each and every comment you make. Until next time ... Happy Trails to you

Stamping Bella Sale

I have a friend who is trying to make room for more stamps so she is selling her collection of Stamping Bella's. She mentions that none of her stamps are stained and have only been used a couple of times.

If you're interested or know someone who is you can find them at Eulanda's blog

Cards, Cards and More Card's.

Have a great day!

Help wanted

Ok, I have seen a ton of cards using several different papers. So I went to my LSS and bought 4 papers in the same line of Bo Bunny. I came home and used 3 of them on this card and for some reason it does not look like everyone else's. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I love this little girl from Bildi. Their faces are just the sweetest. Of course I colored with my Copics. Oh and check out the lace I got from Sharon Johnson over at http://notimetostamp.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/


We spent the whole day outside. I am loving spring this year. We mowed the lawn for the first time and edged the yard. Lucy and I took a long walk and then we took her to the dog park. We then went out to grab dinner and came home and did a lot of other little chores around the house. Oh we also turned on the sprinklers for the first time! That means it is officially spring!

Before I close I have to tell you about the wonderful blog candy over at Jodi From Oz! Check it out! http://jodiefromoz.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-blog-candy-magnolia-winter-kit.html

Until next time... Happy trails to you.

Happy Easter

Good morning. We are going to have a beautiful day here in Nebraska. The sun is shining and there is not a cloud in the sky. Temperature is a little cool at 50 degrees but it sure beats 20 degrees or below! Since tomorrow is Easter, I thought I should post one more Easter card before it is too late. I also would like to wish you all a very happy Easter if you celebrate it and if you don't then a very happy Sunday!

Until next time Happy trails to you.....

For Judy

My sister in law is in the hospital so I made a card for her. I used my JustRite Thinking of You stamp set. I used white cardstock for the base from PTI and Bazzill paper for the yellow and green. I colored with my Copic markers using #BV000, BV02, BV08, YG23 and Yg 67, Y06, Y13, and Y38. The butterfly is the new die from PTI along with the Butterfly Dreams set from PTI. The ribbon is from my stash. I added some Crystal Effects to the flowers to make them look dewy and some glitter on the butterfly.

It looks like spring may finally have arrived in Nebraska. This week has been in the 50's all week which meant I got to walk every day and Lucy got to go to the puppy park every day. It has been a wonderful week off for spring break but now it is back to work on Monday. We will have 39 day of school when we get back. Summer is on the way :)

Until next time... Happy trails to you!

Happy Spring???

Happy Spring to all! It is 34 degrees here this afternoon with a wind chill of 22. And we had snow yesterday so the ground is white. On Thursday it got up to almost 70. Only in Nebraska, yes? It is supposed to get nicer again but not 60's or 70's for awhile. I am on spring break this next week and was hoping for beautiful weather so I could be outside but don't think that will happen. Oh well, a week away from work is a good thing no matter what the weather, right?

Today's card features another Bildmalarna stamp. Did you know that Bildmalarna means picture painter in Swedish? This sweetie is stamped on white cardstock and cut out with my Nesties along with the scallop oval behind it. That paper is PTI's Sweet Blush. The pink paper is from Moxie and the blue flowered paper is from Cosmo Cricket. The flower is from my stash and the button is from Lasting Impressions. It was colored with my Copic markers. My friend Linda sent me this image, so thank you so very much, Linda

Until next time... Happy trails to you

Birthday Girl

Happy Friday! Boy this week flew by, didn't it? We have one more week of school until spring break. Don't know who is more ready, the kids or the staff. This gal is certainly ready! It snowed here on Thursday all day a slushy heavy wet snow but it didn't stick so we didn't have to shovel it. But I am so ready for spring that I just hated seeing that snow. It was really pretty and normally I would think that but not this year. Ok, enough of my ramblings. My card this week is a new image for me. She is a stamp by Bild malarna. Isn't she adorable? I have two of them and love their little faces. I made her for a friend who I hope doesn't look at my blog. Tande has a St. Patrick's Day birthday so I had to put a little green on her. I hope you like her.

Until next time, Happy trails to you
