Birthday Bear

Hi friends. Have been busy, don't know where the week went!  Made an Easter Wreath for my daughter.

You use that eyelash yarn in lime green and wrap it around a Styrofoam wreath base.  Took forever to wrap the yarn around, but I love that it looks like Easter Grass.  Made the bow added the birds, butterflies and eggs and hung it on her door. I originally saw this on Pinterest.

I also did some genealogy this week, and did some work on the computer for my old employer, so I guess that is how the week slipped away.

I made this card a couple of days ago, but didn't manage to post it until now.

This darling little gift giving bear is by Wild Rose Studio and the circle sentiment

is theirs also.

Papers are Graphic 45 Botanical Tea (LOVE THEM)

Robin border is K & Company

Colored with Copics

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff 

Monday Idea.

Hello, and is this the longest, coldest winter you can remember for a long time?

Was so surprised when I got up on Sunday Morning and the ground was covered with

new snow again.....

This week's idea is a white on white card.

I love this style of card, so elegant.

BSS MONDAY IDEA - BUILDING BLOCK CARD.

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF MONDAY IDEA.

Do you believe this weather?  Well, moving away from Valentines and winter, I went in search

of a new fancy fold card.  I found this great  card idea on Split Coast Stampers.  There is a

great tutorial HERE

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/buildingblockcard/

Here is the card I made opened up.

Here is a closeup of the front image. LOVE IT!

This is a closup of the inside.  Building block part.

This is a closeup of the card opened up fully.

This card fold for mailing!

Card Recipe

Stamps- Mailbox -Impression Obsession Cling (H1934)

Sentiment stamp - Hampton Art Stamps- Friendship (DF2138)

Paper - Blue and white card stock, Green Star paper is Graphic 45-Mother Goose 6x6 Pad

I cut small squares and rectangles and added triangles to look like envelopes for

the first inside edge and sponged with light blue dye ink.

The metal letters I have had for ages they are from EK Success 

They spell out " U GOT MAIL"

Colored with copics.  Stamped the little butterfly twice and

fussy cut and popped it up on the mailbox.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day.  Until later.........

ATC Swap Entry

I friends, hope everyone is keeping warm.  This winter has been so cold and snowy.  Today we are getting rain, everything is slushy and dripping.

I just wanted to share a quick post with you.  I made these ATC's for a swap.  Haven't joined a swap in years, but was nudged into it by the gal running the swap on SCS.  It's the ATC's Ultimate Varieties.  So many different categories to choose from and you have until April 5th to get them to the swap Organizer by.

I made a gatefold ATC with the adorable stork and baby feet from Magnolia.

I also used an action wobbler behind the stork, so when it moves it looks like

he is coming in for a landing.

Have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by for a peek.  Check out the ATC Swap

on SCS.  Until later.................
