~Spring is in The Air Blog Hop with FTHS

It's blog hop time again and this time we are celebration Spring is in The Air!  Well I hope it is right around the corner for most of us but with our weather lately...I'm not so sure!  We have a wonderful hop for you today featuring fabulous springtime creations from the From The Heart Stamps DT!

As you hop along with us today or through the weekend, please leave a comment on each entry. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win the image that the designer used. And additionally, one commenter on the From the Heart Stamps blog will be selected to win a $5 gift voucher to the store!

Here is my project, using Hamlet PigWit Thing Spring. 

This fun digi is also the Stamp Of The Month so be sure to check out that challenge as well!

I tried Prismacolor pencils this time as Copics were giving me heck...user error I'm sure, but I was having a hard time with the pinks, then I went to the grass and my marker was dried out so I printed it for the 3rd time and went with Prismacolor pencils:-)  I have used this week's sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 for my layout and paired it with Country Drive paper from Echo Park.  It was from a Taylored Expressions kit from some time ago and I used the CS that came with it so I am not sure of the brand.  Buttons are from CTMH.

 If you have arrived from Kathy's blog, you are in the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.

Now head over to Laura's blog and see what she has created for you.

Thanks for hopping with us today. The hop will end on Monday March 10th at 6am, EST. Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday March 12th.

 Have a great hop and a wonderful weekend!

~Birthday Pickup

It's Monday!  It's a provincial holiday here in Alberta called Family day which is fitting because we are headed to Maui today for 2 weeks!  We are all so very excited!!

I do have another card to share with you with you before I leave featuring our new sketch for this week over at From The Heart Stamps.  I love Faith's sketches as you know already and this is another fun one!!

 This fun image is called Birthday Pickup.  I used some fun papers from October Afternoon called Sasparilla and thought it worked well for a masculine card!

~Whoooo Loves You

 It's Saturday....my favorite day of the week!  We only have 2 more days til we leave for Maui!  Yippeee!! 

We have a new challenge for you over at Di's Digis this week!  Tic Tac Toe is our challenge and here's my card.

I used the super cute Whooooo Loves You image and made it into a baby card actually, I thought it worked well for that!  The Tic Tac Toe board looks like so:

I used the middle column- sentiment, die cute (sentiment and image and mat piece are cut from die cuts) and doily.

 Pop on over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the fabulous DT creations as well as the fun prize for this go round!

You don't have to use a Di's Digi image when you play along with us but my gosh, Di has sooooo many cute ones and releases new ones every week!!  You can win 2 digis just for using a Di's Digi image as well as entered for the challenge prize!

Have fun and Happy Crafting!

I am happy to be back today with a card for you featuring a new release over at McMahon Five Design .   It's a new set from the Draw Me A Daydream line and it's called Valerie's Valentine.

 The layout is this weeks sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and I have used some fun papers from MME called Love Me and paired it with CTMH Tulip and Grey Flannel CS.  I also used the CTMH Artbooking Cricut cartridge for the heart piece on the right hand side.  

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!  Thank you for stopping by today!!

~Beary Heart

 Oh boy, am I glad it's the weekend!  Kirsten and I had a rotten flu bug all week and I'm glad it's the weekend.  A long weekend here actually, we have Monday off school...yippee!!!

Time for a new challenge over on the Di's Digi challenge today!  Since it's February already, we thought it'd be a great time to get crafty for Valentines. so we are asking to see your Love or Valentines cards this time around!

I have used a new image from Di called Beary Heart and paired it with some older CTMH papers and used the sketch from Papertake Weekly-I just rotated my image panel as I had already stuck the other papers down and it didn't work the other way :-)

Please be sure to check out the challenge blog to see the rest of the DT creations and to enter for your chance to win our great prize this week!  You can also win your choice of 2 digis from Di's store in addition to the weekly prize if you use an image from Di's Digi Stamps when you play along...how fun is that?!?!

We are off to a fun skate competition today for my daughter, it should be a great day!!  I hope you have a wonderful day as well!

~Gathering Hearts

Hey everyone!  Oh my gosh this week feels like it is draaaaaagging on!  We had a sledding crash (of all things, the sled hit a frozen cow turd while Lance was taking the kids for a ride and tossed them both out!!) on Sunday with the kids and they are ok, just banged up and bruised.  Thankfully they both were wearing their helmets and goggles.  I'm thinking the sled will go away until we get some more fresh snow!!

Anyway, I have to say that sketch challenges are by far my most fav and always go to challenge!  

I am playing along with this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 challenge using an adorable image called Gathering Hearts that is available over at From The Heart Stamps....oh and you should see Faith's newest images too....they are super cute!

Have a super Thursday and thanks for taking the time to pop by!

Hugs,
