Honeybee Tilda Enjoying Sunny Day

First of all I want to say  
my heart goes out to the people from Oklahoma. I can't imagine the pain they are going through at this moment. I was heart broken to hear the school with the kids was completely destroyed while they were still in it. My heart skip beats and my stomach turns to not able to see your kids come home from school.

 With knots in my throat I say could you image hearing names of the survivors and hoping they will hear their child's name. Also seeing kids brought in at the check point and theirs are not among them yet. What a horrible feeling to wait for the worst.

 I do hope that we please make it a law to have storm cellars in the schools. 
So hard to keep tears back. My thoughts and prayers are with them all. 

*******************************


Now to my scheduled post and hoping the sun shines everywhere in the world. 
Magnolia-licious and Wee stamps blog has a new challenge "Weather" You could do any weather you like rainy, cold, hot etc...

I created a sunny bright scene using my distress inks. I used Honeybee Tilda and free handed the background and foreground.


You could find the Mini version of Honeybee Tilda right now at Magnolia-licious and she's paired with the cute Burger Tilda at a great price right HERE.







I hope you like my card and hoping you join us for this new challenge.

Your comments are greatly appreciated and have I told you how I love to read them....thank you :)

I'll be back this week with a new Saturated Canary card :)

Be safe

A little Lady ..... Saturated Canary New Challenge

Hello fellow peeps :)
I know I'm late sharing my card today but I've been so busy at home with a house full of sick children and the hubby is even worst than them (btw he's in the hospital forgot to mention he couldn't take the chest pains anymore and he had shortness of breath).

 I've been on call 24/7 from rubbing the Vapor rub and changing cold cloths, night round of meds and all the other good stuff. I am beyond tired and haven't had a good night sleep in days. It all started two weeks ago when my son(9yo) was the only one sick and then two weeks after Orlando started getting better. Lauren (7yo) fell into a high fever and it spiral down from there. One after the next everybody got sick. For some reason I've been the only one who hasn't  been hit BUT I recently started wheezing and a chest pain here and there. I'm hoping it's not a cough trying to brake through :(
So that's why I'm running behind on my post but I'm here now with a few minutes to spare and wish me luck so I don't get sick PLEASE!!! LOL!

Ok let's carry on to my card posting :)
It's time for another Saturated Canary challenge and the theme this time is 
" Emerald"


 I knew I wanted to give this New digi an emerald colored dress when I  spotted her. The dress is detailed so nicely and enhancing those existing pleats was a nice practice. Oh  and oh yes all colored with Spectrum Noir Markers. Also the image was blown up to @ 5 x 3 1/2 inches and matted on a card front. So it's quite big for what I regularly do. 

I also used one of the new sentiments from Little Darlings Fairytale sentiments
A little Lady.......  

the hanging tag is from Little Darlings as well from the Tag Along set


you could use this picture for Inspiration if you like and I can't wait to see what you create 


Ok that's it for me and I'm hoping tomorrow will be a peaceful day. I'm waiting for the my husband to get home and hopefully is just a matter of more rest and nothing serious. 

Thanks guys for stopping by my corner and I think It's time I do something to this blog yikes lacking color lol! I need a makeover ASAP :)

MOMS, AUNTS, GRANDMAS and Fathers that do the mom roll too
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL Mother's Day!!!! ((hugs))

LD  Warm Fuzzies  Fairytale sentiments " A little Lady" is part of the set

I'm Always here for you Friend



Hello lovelies I'm back and here I am sharing another creation for the new challenge over 
Saturated Canary and this time we are going with "All things bright and beautiful..."
with the *optional* color scheme shown below!

I really was a softy for the palette. I couldn't wait to get coloring and as soon as I saw this little lady I thought her hair is a MUST to color :)

Using this picture as Inspiration is how I approached the coloring on Zorona in which I used 
 Spectrum Noir markers.


uhh I am obsessed with the LD Friendship sentiment line.I tend to reach for them for every card I'm working on now :)


the inside easy and simple


That's all for me and I'll be back with a Magnolia card very soon. Please stop by the challenge blog the team has done a wonderful job with the theme.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the weekend :)
