Hi Friends, 

The days are certainly getting longer can you feel it? We are still not having warm weather here, but I am OK with that. Our temperatures are basically 65 in the day and 49 at night, sweater weather and I like it.   Are you making your dad a fathers day card this year?  Or are you going to end up buying it because you waited too long. I am giving you the inspiration right now.  If you make it early enough you can enter the challenge and have a chance to win a prize and then you are ahead of the game.


Welcome to 

DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #157

THEME:  Father's Day/ for a man..... alternative thank you

Isn't this the coolest?  this is Adam from the Prima dolls collection. I fussy cut the bottoms and  colored the Adam and his clothes with copic markers. I am making quite a few guy cards just to have on hand you do not seem to see too many available, and I love making them. The twine is from my DL.ART SUPPLIES store and/or my ETSY.com/shop/DLART. The sentiment is from CTMH holiday tags stamp sentiment set. If I only had one stamp set this would be it, but thank goodness that is not the case.


I hope to see you enter the challenge and have fun with it.  I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.



The challenge will open at 9:00 am May 28,  2015 and

 will be open until 11:55 pm PST  June 9, 2015.   

Prize:

6x6 Paper

Hi Everyone,

I had to take some time off for me today and regroup, refresh and refocus. The beach always seems to help me put things in perspective and see the BIGGER picture. I really hadn't planned on taking a photograph, I did not have my camera with me, then I remembered my phone has a camera on it.  Not too bad. The clouds were amazing, we very seldom see clouds like this and the ocean looked more turquoise than usual, almost like the Caribbean. There were still quite a few people in town

Everything is possible for one who believes.




What an awesome day.

Have a blessed day, Diana

Happy Memorial Day

This is a card I made a couple of years ago, when I was on the Creative inspiration Paints team  I just think it is so appropriate for today and I have to share it again. If it were not for the brave men and women who sacrificed so much for us, we would not enjoy the freedoms that we do today. So in honor of all the vets this flag will fly on my blog today.
Have a blessed Memorial Day and remember why you are enjoying

Happy Monday and Happy Memorial day Everyone,

What kind of plans do you have for memorial day?

I am going to take it easy and hang around the house. Our city has banned fireworks and I am thankful for that because we are in a drought with very heavy water restrictions now. On to a happy note

Is this a happy card or what?
So I have some birthday girls coming up soon.  I used all the bits of the flowers pieces to create the shapes rising, by using darker larger shapes at the bottom and smaller lighter shapes toward the top you get the feel that the shapes are rising and I like all the white space down below.

Supplies used:

PTI stampers select white card stock

beautiful blooms stamp set

CTMH colored inks

versa mark onyx black ink

Hi Everyone,

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"  Here is Abby one of the Angie girls. I used copic markers and my designer paper is from Basic Grey Lucille. Believe it or not I am almost finished with this 6x6 paper pad.  It seems to have lasted forever.

I have added stickles, sequins and skittles. It doesn't get better than that. To add to it , my card is 5 x 7 not the usually 4.25 x 5.5 size cards I make. This was definitely a fun one.

Good Morning Everyone,

Aren't These just the yummiest colors ever. This is the new Taste of Summer paper pack  from CTMH that is only available until the end of May along with the TOS stamp set..

I used the Mojo Monday sketch for the design. I used PTI stampers select white for my card base and to stamp on the pucker, then I fussy cut the pucker up out, because I do not have a die for the sentiment.   Ashley has a great video on that.  I also stamped the lemon with CTMH honey ink and fussy cut it out. This was the perfect sketch for this using a lot of these papers
