What happened to the rabbit?!?!?!?

It's officially that time of the year...when we all turn a little Irish ;)  I've already shown one of my St. Patty's day cards last week. I know it was a little early but I couldn't resist!! I have several more made and will be sprinkling them in here and there. Hope you enjoy them.

Even though I had the chickie wearing the little leprechaun hat, I couldn't resist having a chickie popping out of a hat...

Growing butterflies...

Wow, talk about a brightly colored card! I think I may have went overboard on the yummy new color combo that DeNami's newest uber talented DT member, Emily, has for us. It matches so well with the new spring release!


 If you saw this in person, you'd realize just how much this card really jumps out at you. I just love how bright and fun it turned out...

Take a close look at the butterflies...I couldn't decide how to color them. Then I came up with a great idea...don't color them at all! I used my distress ink tool along with 2 shades of regular ink and created some pretty pink shaded paper. I just love the soft look I managed to acheive. I used silver embossing powder to give them some real pop.

To keep or not to keep....

Does it get any better than pink glittery flowers and polka dots? If you say "no", then this is the card for you...


I added magenta glitter to the daises and strawberry freeze glitter to the butterflies. I'm tellin' y'all, it doesn't get any easier than using the quickie glue pen, it really helps with tiny lines since it's basically an ink pen...LOVE LOVE LOVE that glue pen!

I made this for my niece, Mandy's birthday and just love how it turned out! I have some french message boards hanging in my crafty area (Wendy's BRILLIANT idea) where I keep cards that I just can't bring myself to give away...thinking I want to add this little cutie. Poor Mandy, she's so mistreated! ;)  She knows her Auntie Tina loves her...even if she doesn't get this sparkle-riffic card!

Even chickies love St. Patty's Day

I have been trying to use my large chickie more and came up with a great idea...why can't he be holding a St. Patty's hat? I just love it!
I think he/she needs a full line on clothing...hint hint ;)

How about some pretty asian flair...

Holy cow, I NEVER thought this day would get here...It's finally the 1st of march!!! Ya'll know what that means, right?!?!?! Today is the day I can finally get my hands on the new DeNami release...and let me tell you, I WANT IT ALL!!!! I can't wait to get this new collection inky....

Like most of you I have an ever changing list of DeNami stamps that I just HAVE to have. As time has gone by, I have built up my collection and am finally able to buy some of the stamps that I've had my eye on that have never gotten a chance at the top of the list...



I just love the asian stamp line and finally been able to order a few. These are stamps that at the time I ordered them, I had no clue what to do with them. All I knew is that I really liked them and they had grabbed my eye time and time again. *cough* would make a nice product spotlight for the DT to work with *cough* ;)  Hope you like what I came up with and I can't wait to get a chance to pull them out again!
