MMTPT 154 - Flowers and Bees that Sneeze!

Good Morning!  Today is another Teapot Tuesday Challenge.  We have a real pickle on our hands, or should I say Bee-anca does on hers!?!  Seems that mean ole bumblebee, Tate, has it in for sweet little Bree, whose not a bumblebee... she's a birdie {not the golf kind, the feathered one}.  Every time she flies out to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner or do anything else, Tate is ready to start chasing her.  Well, little miss Bee-anca has discovered through the bee-vine that Big Tate is allergic to daisies so she has asked all the teapotters, {42,000 of us, according to Mothermark! or it's just her favorite number} to bring flowers, bees and birds to this week's teaparty. With all the extra birds and bees, we may be able to distract Big Tate long enough to get the daisies in position, then with some extra wing power, can blow some pollen his way, to help Bree fly free.  Plus, with all the other birds and bees, Big Tate might get so confused, he doesn't have time to look for Bree...  I also brought some "special" daisies, the polka dot ones carry extra pollen!! 

My card this week will be going to the destination station recipient, Rita, who is battling lung cancer.  You can read about it on the Teapot Tuesday thread, look for the MMTPT  154 post and there will be a link within that post.

My "daisies" are prima and other flowers from my stash, with brads for the center.  The stems and grass are hand cut from mulberry paper. My bees are part of the Gina K. Designs set, A Beautiful Life, by Melanie Muenchinger.  Didn't even remember there was a little bee stamp in the set.  I added color to the bees with copic markers.  My inside sentiment is simply "Praying for you" from a Clear Dollar Stamps set, Chirstian sympathy.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Fun FBD Mocha Manic Monday Digi

Good Morning!  Wow, does time fly!  Didn't realize how long it has been since I posted to my blog.
I was scoping out the Fresh Brewed Designs group at the Latte Lounge  and found out about this cute digi that Heather put in her shop for the weekly Mocha Manic Monday challenge she posts there.  She's going to have another one coming up in a couple of days so check it out! 

I colored my fairy with copics in icy blue shades and added a blue ribbon bow with some bling. Her hair is a deep "fiery" red.  The image was cut out with a nesties labels 8 and mounted on dimensionals.  I added the blue flower with its center of a blue gem.  The background paper is from my stash, and I used a funky corner punch on one side of the card.  I will be sending this card to Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada.  This community has been burned out, you can read about it here. I plan on making a couple of other cards to send off also or pulling from my stash of older cards.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Cards for Colton {MMTPT style!!}

Good evening!

This week's MMTPT {Mother Mark's Tea Pot Tuesday} challenge on the Teapot Tuesday challenge thread on Splitcoaststampers.   This week we are trying to brighten the day of  a 10 year old boy, with bone cancer, and are sending our cards to his school.  I had some really fun digis from both Fresh Brewed Designs and Busy Beauties Boutique that seemed to fit with this challenge, so I am tossing my card in and challenging you to do the same!!!

My card was created using a digs from Fresh Brewed Designs and Busy Beauties.

Happy Mother's Day

A quick post to wish you a Happy Mother's day  and show some photos of the card I created for my MIL using a stamp set from Gina K designs.

MMTPT140 - Help Me Out! Don't Be Lazy! I Can't Clear That Big Ole Daisy!

Whoo Hoo!  I found some of my missing mojo and I created this card to send to this week's Destination Station for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge.  There is a link to the destination station in the post and sending your card to the recipient is strictly voluntary.  
This week the teapotters assignment, should we choose to accept it is to help Cheshire Flyer.  Cheshire, our portly kitty, is getting help from his ole buddy, ole pal, Butterfly Barney, who has been after Cheshire (aka Scrubby the Chubby) to get some exercise as he spend lots and lots of time basking in the sun and snoozing!  Barney has even loaned Cheshire his wings to help.   Fortunately for Cheshire, there is this wonderfully soft and large daisy that has provided a wonderful viewing/landing spot, however it has created a bit of a problem as he just can't seem to clear the flower and land on the other side.  Barney is thrilled that Cheshire is getting some exercise, but he is getting pooped lifting this portly guy high in the air.  Now, the only challenge facing Cheshire is for his fellow felines in the hood to see his feat of aerial mastery so he is not called a big fat liar. 
Well, it just so happens that Moritmer mouse heard through the mouse-vine about Cheshires predicament, knows just the fellow to send to defend his reputation so he is not called a big fat liar.  Braveheart the cat!  Our buddy Braveheart, was just getting ready to bask in the sun on his favorite bench, when Mortimer shared the news. 

"Braveheart, you have to come with us right away!  There is a reputation at stake!  Cheshire Flyer is in mid-flight and there may be a fight! There are so many cats there that can't believe there eyes!  Scrubby the Chubby is Cheshire Flyer... the one who is so portly he doesn't do much except sleep with butterflys"

"What do you mean a fight?  And Who's in mid-flight?  Scrubby the Chubby?!?!  Thought he spent his days sleeping in the sun with a butterfly on his belly?  This I gotta see!  Lead the way, Mortimer."

As with all Scottish cats, Braveheart is ready to defend a friend.

Thanks for stopping by & hope to see you at the Tea Party!

Fresh Brewed Challenge

Wow, I actually found time to play in another Fresh Brewed challenge!  I'm on a roll... LOL, not really, just found some of my missing mojo recently and am running with it.
This week's challenge is to use your favorite food image on a card or project.  I have had this digi from FBD for quite a while and so decided it was well past time to use it!  I also chose to use a variation of the stained-glass technique by omitting the use of any embossing as the tutorial on splitcoast stampers shows.  I framed it with ribbon, also added a button and flower.

I have to admit that I am not totally satisfied with the ribbon frame, but did learn how not to do it for any future project I choose to use it on.

A Teapot Tuesday & Fresh Brewed Challenge

Good Morning!  It's been quite a while since I have had enough time to play in some challenges.  This week I combined the Teapot Tuesday with the month long Fresh Brewed Designs challenge which I am too late to join in on, but I had fun making this card and using the stamp!  I usually am not very consistent with doing that, mostly because I don't really think about that part.  I wanted to share one of the new rubber stamps available at the Fresh Brewed Designs shop...link on my sidebar, by the way!  She's cutie pie in clouds.  I also saw a ruffled ribbon tutorial on splitcoast stampers that I wanted to try so here is my card.

She is colored with copics and I added a little sparkle with sakura jelly roll pens.  She's dressed in spring colors to announce we will be getting warmer weather!
