Monday Montage #135

So here I sit craving a sweet treat and I have dug out my big jar of Jelly Belly jelly beans that I purchased at Costco.  I only buy them this time of year - a) because they are available and b) by the time I finish the jar, I am sick of them!!!  Although, my favorite is pear and I never get sick of that flavor.

I took the doggo out for his afternoon potty break and walked in a short sleeve shirt, leggings and flip flops.  CRAZY!  It was 57 F.  I wouldn't have lasted a long walk without a jacket, but just long enough to enjoy the sunshine and the anticipation of spring.

The project for today features Fable Friends.  I am starting to feel like all my cards look the same :)  My niece has a little gray pet bunny named Winter.  She is a beautiful gray which is what inspired the color.

Stamps - Fable Friends, Apron builder, Postcard Pals
Ink - Momento Black, Granny Apple Green
Paper - Basic Gray, Whisper White
Accessories/Tools - Stitched Rectangles, Groovy Guava, Calypso Coral, Pineapple Punch Markers, Blends, Natures Twine, Silver Pearls

Head on over to Dani's next or Charlet to head back.

Monday Montage #134

More snow today....I keep telling myself, the garden is going to love the extra moisture Mother Nature is bestowing upon us, but I am ready for little bit warmer weather.  At least it was only a couple of blocks to the Church so I didn't have to venture far.  

You know that moment you don't love your card, but don't have time or the right tools to make it exactly what you had envisioned?  Yes!  that was me today.  Despite the my frustration, here it the card.

So many butterflies and flowers lately, I thought I would give my neglected Hedgehugs a little love.  Have you ever had a chance to hold or play with a little hedgie?  That cute little face, nose and soft belly are soo cute!!

Stamps - Hedgehugs, Eastern Beauty (sentiment)
Ink - Real Red, Early Espresso
Paper - Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Real Red
Tools/Accessories - Wood Plank EF, Layering Circle Dies, Linen Thread, silicone mat (mirror imaged the bird on a branch)

We Create Subtles Collection Blog Hop


I am not a subtle person and I had a really hard time making this card all subtle colors.     My preference is a touch of pink or light yellow and then a bold red or navy blue.  This card did not come out anything like I had initially planned.  Everytime I went for a pastel "ish" color, it turned out not to be in the subtles collection.    Here is what I finally came up with.

Stamps - Vibrant Vases, Sweetest Thing
Ink - Stazon Black, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue.
Paper - Whisper White, Balmy Blue, Gingham Gala, Botanical Butterfly DSP
Tools/Accessories - Linen thread, Stitched Rectangles, Butterfly Duet punch, Blender Pen, Wink of Stella.

The flowers and vase really do sparkle pretty.
