Just Ducky....

This guy from DOODLE PANTRY just QUACKS me up. DUCKY DUCK is the perfect image for a friend who when asked how she's doing more than often not replies, "Oh, Just Ducky...".

Somedays....

Ok....Now that Mother's Day has come and gone and May is 1/2 over "Let's Get Real"....C'mon, Admit it...You know you've thought it.....

Disclaimer: Any resemblance to a certain 3 lil granddaughters is completely incidental....yeah, right...

I love this image, Free Kittens,  from MelJen's Designs and I couldn't resist the temptation. Love em to pieces, but there are those days....

One of the Secrets Of Life....

Where would any of us be without those friends in our lives who share our joys and sorrows and brighten our days with their love, concern and prayers. This sweet image, Harold and Fred, is from Laurie Wilson at Doodle Pantry. The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs via Sentimental Sundays.

Tender Mercies

I just love this sweet 'Fuzzy Duckling' from Laurie Wilson at Doodle Pantry and this sentiment from her 'Merciful and Good' set is the perfect companion. Spring is such a lovely reminder that every day is a new beginning and that we all have the opportuntiy to change and improve.

You will want to be sure and checkout all the New Releases at Doodle Pantry and pay particular attention to the current specials as well as the new challenge. Everyone who participates in the May 5th Challenge will recieve a free complimentary image, Ducky Duck.

Have I got a Tale to tell.....

Once upon a time in a land not so far away lived a talented artist named Melissa......and we all lived happily ever after. The new release at MelJens features Fairy Tales, simply perfect for this week's Bookmark Challenge. These were fun projects and so useful as I love to read, much to the dismay of my dirty dishes, laundry and dusty furniture.  My love of reading began as a little girl, some of my earliest memories are of being read to by my mother and father, my grandmother and my aunt; what a tremendous gift to give to a child, the joy of Reading. The legacy continues as I now have the opportunity to read to my grandchildren and enjoy a Weekly Storytime with 3 of the girls at our local Library.

For this first bookmark I used Melissa's new image, Speedy Hare and this Corner Bookmark Tutorial from SCS.

This more traditional Bookmark uses Sweet Rapunzel.

You can check out the rest of the new releases HERE.

The Early Bird Can Have The Worm

Saw a Swing (Flip-Flop) Card online the other day and I immediately thought of these images and couldn't wait to try it out. The front image panel in a Swing Card swings/flips to show the backside of the panel and another image when you pull the right and left side of the card. Hope you enjoy the card and that perhaps it will even bring a smile to your day. A very fun interactive card and was simple to make, especially after the first one. ;o)

The Early Bird Can Have The Worm.....

I'll Meet You Around Noon With A Danish.

The images are from Laurie Wilson at Doodle Pantry. I just LOVE her lil Birdies. For the front of the card I used one of the images from Everday Birdies. For the Backside of the Flip panel I used the adorable Having Tea. The sentiments I did on the computer and then printed. You can find a tutorial for the Swing (Flip Flop) Card HERE at SCS and a video tutorial using the same measurements HERE by DreamingAboutRS. It was simple enough, but I have to admit seeing the video really helped me to understand the written directions.

Thanks for stopping by, hope it brought a smile to your day and Happy Creating....

Bear-y Busy Busy Bears.....

I love the new release from MelJens this week. I was so excited to see the Military Bear and the others, just the ticket for the guys-young and old. They're all lil boys at heart right? I always said I lived with 6 boys even though I only had 5 sons. Pop (my husband) was and still is an overgrown boy even now that he is Pop Pop to 5 lil granddaughters.(How's that for a switch after 5 sons and no girls.)

Currently our Hero is our Son Ed who is serving in the Air Force. We are so proud of him, his wife and 2 lil girls and the sacrifice they are willing to make at this time. We are so grateful for all the men, women an families who are making that same sacrifice for all of us and the freedoms we enjoy. This card with Military Bear is for Ed:

My granddaughter wanted a card for a little boy in her kindergarten class that was having a birthday party and this lil Astronaut Bear was just the thing to wish him a "special day that was OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD!"

These were a blast to color. I love Melissa's lil bears.

You can find these new Bear-y cute images at MelJens and be sure to check out the current challenge at her Blog.
