Happy New Year

Hello to you! 
&  Happy New Year 🎆🎆🎆     I have been busy working on a couple of cards...in between doing some laundry too.    So when those are finished I will get those uploaded to share.  😄 



I appreciate all of my new followers and those that have left kind comments.  Thank you ♥
May your new year be blessed.

Sowing Blessings
If you want to make a difference
In other people's lives,
Be thoughtful and considerate,
Be slow to criticize.
Be helpful when you're needed,
Let others know you care,
Be patient and forgiving
When hurts are hard to bear.
Do always unto others
As you'd have done to you,
For when you sow God's blessings,
You'll reap His harvest too
- Vi B. Chevalier

💙💙💙
Have a happy day!

♥ I need Followers ♥

Hello, now... {drum roll please} I have added a "follow me" button at the top of the page.   So... if ya ever wondered why you weren't able to find the button before.... its cause I live under a rock.... well, not really...  but, I have heard this before from a fellow co-worker when waiting to be seated at an I Hop restaurant.   I said, "I had never eaten here before."        With a look of surprise..  she replied.. "Have you been living under a rock?"

In fact, ssshhhh!  don't tell anyone, but -  I've never eaten a White Castle hamburger, either...  so, whatever.    

Well... anyhoo...     I hope you all have a good day.  ♥

We are hopeful,  you've given Life, and on the Cross Jesus gave His Life,  what more  could you do?    What more could You do - You gave for us your Life.

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."   Revelation 3:20

Nestling Doll Cards

Nestling Dolls

A matryoshka doll (Russian), also known as a Russian nestling doll or Russian doll, is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another.  ❤❤   In this case these dolls were fashioned by using card stock.   They do nestle down inside the other.   These are just too cute!   It may be hard to part with this trio.  ♥♥♥   The head tops do open for a little note to be placed inside.





Thank you for popping by to visit!

Layers upon layers of a whimsical spring-like design. :)

I want to wish everyone a happy new year!

Touch of Spring card

 A Touch of Spring
Butterflies dancing on soft breezes.
💙💙💙
I "antiqued" this card on the edges, birdcage, and embossed design using distress inks in tumbled glass, vintage photo, and wild honey.
Then I lightly brushed on a tiny bit of - forever red & forever green of Perfect Pearls.  It really gives it a rustic look.
The flower cut-outs have been "popped" to give depth.  The pink butterfly was done with a touch of clear glitter glue. 





I am pleased how this turned out. ;)

Butterfly Garden Card

Good Morning!    I decided to stay up a little while longer to finish up working on a card.    I couldn't decide, at first, what colors I wanted to use... decisions - decisions!    So I decided on a color I don't normally gravitate to... purple... or in this case a soft violet with a deeper purple added as a "pathway" for the butterflies.     I just happened to have a delicate flowered paper to give a garden feel.     I really like the peaceful feeling this design seems to have.      I mainly wanted the butterflies to be white with just a touch of pink to their wings. 

I'm not sure why this seems to look crooked...  it could be the way I held the camera.  ;)


This card chases away those very cold temperatures we've had lately.
And reminds us all of warmer weather to come... I know,  it will be a while! 😃

Thanks so much for your visit.  ♥

Hettie Hedgehog & Christmas Tree (DI)


Here's my newest image of Hettie & The Christmas Tree..

https://www.etsy.com/shop/Createfulheartdigis?ref=l2-shopheader-name
♥ Mary ♥



Cute Hedgehog (DI)


Hettie the Hedgehog  was removed.
I've been wanting to create a little hedgehog to put in my greeting cards and such... after many sketches this is the one that caught my eye.  
Once I'm satisfied with the sketch... as I ink it in..  the image seems to take on a character all its own. 
I love to take pictures of flowers and the little bugs that hide between the layers of the petals.   As you look into this flower you'll see a ladybug... looking back at Hettie. 
I have enjoyed creating this image.   And I hope that you will find in your heart to place her on one of your cards also.

Please do not remove my signature from the image. 

I would love to hear from you!
Mary

Tired Hound (DI)


Tired Hound was removed.
We have a dog, she's a rescue from a shelter.  We named her Dollie. 
Our dog is not lazy at all!  She is always full of energy...except for when she is sleeping.
Dollie is a mix of  Blood Hound, Pointer, Black Lab, and Weimaraner.

This digital stamp is an exaggeration of our dog after coming home from a long walk.
Hope that you'll find many uses for this image! 🐕🐾

Please do not remove my signature.   Thank you.

Flowers to love

These are from my flower garden. 
Picture taken in the Spring.
Its rather hard to believe that time has flown by so quickly!   Here we did our plantings of vegetables and flower seeds, and worked hard to reduce the weed population... Ha what a job that was!  ;)
I always elect myself to get the weeding done around here.  Round-Up was a great help.  
And now, by gollies its nearly time to pull out the old rake and wait for the leaves to start falling or blowing in our yard.   
Or if you're like the neighbors we have around here... they would rather burn leaves and sticks, and what the hey...why not burn trash too.   Such a lovely smell.   Thank you ever so much.   Yes, that was a hint of being sarcastic... Ha-ha. 
I'm just being silly... and that's okay.
***
For those of you that do like digital art works... I plan to get some of that done too.   I do have one that I need to ink in... and will get it up soon.  

And again, thank you for being patient in wondering what happened to the lady that started this blog... I'm still here...  just got a little bit too busy at times during the Summer months... and now that the weather is turning cooler... (at least its supposed to be cooler?)... I just heard the weather guy say we could see some temps in the 80's... Uh...ummm.... while it can be nice to be warm... I would rather stay just a tad bit cooler.  
So without further...blah...blah...blah... I will say have a good night... or good morning ...
♥ Mary ♥

You're A Hoot!


Hi!  Here's my card for the Paper A LA Mode Saturday - Focus on the Sentiment - 2/13 - 2/19  challenge over at The Outlaw Challenges.

Thought I would use my image: Tree Branch Owlies 
A light brown card stock with a wood plank dp from Chickaniddy collection pad was used for the background.
The tag is of a chip board base with a slight embossed design.  Tied with a green floral wire and dragonfly charm with added green & orange beads.   
The backside of the tag is a green leaf.    I think it sets off the whole design of the card.

Water color pencils were used to color in the image.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Ribbon Hearts


Three Hearts
& Ribbon

Robin & Babes


Here's hoping that Spring is just a little bit closer. :)

I thought since some of us do live in colder climates.. Here in Indiana the temps have been hovering in the teens and single digits over night.  With more chances of snow in the forecast.   We won't think about that right now. ;)
Let's think spring! ♥

Enjoy using this image!
