Watercolor Panels

Taylored Expressions has come out with a packet of watercolor panels for people to color.  There are several companies who are doing this now but I happen to have these.  I really love coloring them and turning them into cards.  These were colored with my Zig Clean Color Markers.  They sure make a quick card!  They will not replace my stamps and other goodies but these are great take alongs if you are sitting in a doctors office or waiting for someone or for a game to start.  They are small enough to pop into your purse and go.  Give them a try!

Until next time, happy trails to you...

Happy Birthday Tiffany

Today is my oldest daughter's birthday.  We went out to lunch to celebrate.  I made her this card but after I colored up the bird I had no idea what to do next.  Finally came up with these fun balloons and hearts.  I like how it ended up but it was one of those week long card LOL.  Happy birthday Tiffany!  Hope you liked your card :)

Until next time, happy trails to you

Happy Valentines Day!

I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a happy valentines day!  It will be cold here in Nebraska but spring is just around the corner (I hope!)  The hearts on this card are all red but the camera made them look different.  I really wish I could have made them like they look.  I think they are cool!  The flourish is a very old stamp from Papertrey Ink.  And the doodling was my very own talent.  HAHA!!!! 

Until next time, happy trails to you!

Starburst or Quilt?

I just found this picture of a card I made last summer and never posted.  It was really fun to do and fun to choose the colors!  I decided that it was easiest to use a paper pack as all of those colors and patterns coordinate.  Anyway, here is the finished product and I hope you like it!

Our snow was not near what they predicted.  Oh we got heavy heavy wet snow but only about 4 inches and the wind was not bad either.  In fact the day of the storm, the snow stopped by noon and I went out to use the snow blower.  It was actually very nice outside!  But the next day the winds came up and it was not near as nice.  The snow was heavy enough that it didn't blow too much.  Not far from us was much much worse.  In fact 50 miles from here the interstate was closed for 2 days for a distance of about 230 miles!  That never happens here.  We just got very lucky.

That's all for me today.  Until next time, happy trails to you...

Snowman Round 2

So last time I updated my blog, The eastern half of the US was expecting a huge snowstorm.  Now it is our turn.  We are supposed to have a blizzard on Monday night and Tuesday with 8 or more inches of snow.  So I thought I should out another snowman on my blog!  I have a tree stencil and used that for the background.  Then I colored my snowman and the fire and cut him out.  Boy I sure hope the weatherman is wrong!  The last few days have been wonderful!  Highs in the upper 40's.  Lucy and I have walked every day.  We will miss that again for awhile or that is sure what it is sounding like.  I am hoping that since they have hyped it up so much that it will miss us! 

Until next time... happy trails to you

LET IT SNOW!!

I have several friends in the east who are in the path of the snowstorm this weekend.  They say it is going to be a big big storm.  I pray everyone stays safe.  And I have a friend who is in Georgia and she said their temperatures will be in the low 70's!  That sounds like a dream!!   I am so ready for spring!  But it is fun to color up these cute snowmen and winter characters.

Until next time, happy trails to you...

I have put my trust in You.

I made this card for a lady in a rest home.  I hope she will like it.  I used the Studio die set from Memory Box along with a new stamp set from Verve and paper from Echo Park and of course sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

I have to thank an online friend, Michelle Peterman for telling me about the Netflix documentary, Making of a Murderer.  She said it was so good and everyone should watch it.  Well, I immediately looked for it and as I talked to others it seems like many people have been talking about it.  (I guess I don't get out much!)  So I started watching it.  I too am hooked and can't stop watching it.  It is very interesting and really holds your attention.  I am very anxious to see how it is going to end.  Anyone else out there watching?  I would love to hear what you think.

After a lot of nice weather before Christmas, it turned colder on Christmas Eve and snowed 8 inches during the day.  Now we have had another snow of only about 3 - 4 inches and some snow showers but really cold. Now this weekend they say we will have wind chills below zero.  Sounds like other than Church on Sunday I am staying inside and not leaving my house.  Brrr.  I hoped to walk this morning before the cold came but it is already windy.  Hurry Spring!!!! 

Until next time, Happy trails to you!
