Trotsky

The lucky dog, Trostky from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps, is one happy camper today! During the night while he dreamt of chasing cats and squirrels, the Easter Bunny was busy hiding bones! Although he's found several, there are more waiting and one even has meat on it!

I hope you have a Blessed Easter! 

Two-fer Day

I'm sharing the last of my Easter cards today. Both images are from Bugaboo Stamps.  The top card is Happy Easter to Ewe.  The bottom card is Happy Keester! Take your pick but either way I am wishing you a Happy Easter filled with blessings. And I sure hope the Easter Bunny stops at your house and fills your basket with lots of chocolate, jelly beans and colored eggs!

Tutu Cute Washing Line

On warm spring evenings, if you look closely among the dried leaves and pine needles, you will see the garden fairies laundry hanging on the line to dry. You must step carefully so as not to trample upon them. This sweet image is one of Just Inklined's new clear polymer stamps called Tutu Cute Washing Line and perfect for all little girls, young and old!

Over an Egg

Before its too late, I want to remind you to take advantage of Squigglefly's 15% off all images (use code spring15) such as this cutie, Over an Egg, by Fawn Palmer!  Perfect time to stock up on all the images on your wish list!

Bunny Easter Egg

I'm still concentrating on getting cards made for Easter! The delightful Bunny Easter Egg from Bugaboo Digi Stamps is one more for the "done" pile! 

Whimsical Happy Animal - Dog

Its Tuesday and time for another {Pin}spirational Challenge and this week we are being sponsored by Back to Paper Shop.

My card features the precious Warm Feet Means Warm Dog by Squigglefly's amazing artist, Lynne Stansbery!

Deirdery Dunderton, Scarecrow and the Tin Man

With a loud collective sigh of relief, the final curtain came down on Doctor Digi's House of Stamps' production of The Wizard of Oz with a loud thud! The show was doomed as soon as the news leaked to Deirdery Dunderton and she was able to put into action a plan to prevent her talented sister thespians from trying for the lead by greeting them with a large plate of cookies laced with fast-acting laxatives the evening of auditions! During each performance, the agony the cast and crew had to endure was lessened thanks to a quick thinking director, by handing out ear plugs to spare them from the horrible sound of the Diva's voice.  Both the Scarecrow and the Tin Man threatened the entire company with a lawsuit if their real identities were ever revealed. Word has it that next year the show will be The Hunchback of Notre Dame, with you-know-who playing the mute hunchback!

Aquilegia Foliage

The delightful Aquilegia Foliage is from Janey's Dig Designs! I resized the digi twice and printed it directly on designer paper then added a little distress ink! Easy to create with and if you change the sentiment it could be used for different occasions or include the image along with floral embellishments.

Fly Fishing

The wonderful Fly Fishing from Just Inklined is a great image for masculine cards or for someone obsessed with angling! Below is a picture with the tag removed but unfortunately my camera does not like the shine from crackle paint!

Cadbury - Digi

I've been like one of Santa's elves, busy, busy, busy making Easter cards! 

Today's card is Cadbury - Digi from Paper Pretties! What a cutie! 

Pay Backs are Tough!

I lost my balls!

Trying to be a good citizen, I inconvenienced the entire pack by removing all evidence of food and water so that our stray, Henry O. Chestercat, could keep his appointment with the vet to undergo "manhood" surgery. After a restless night worrying about driving conditions because of the snow and worrying if Henry would escape from the house, finally it was time to leave! Henry was tucked in his box on the floor in the back of the car and we were on our merry way! Several miles down the road I glanced over to my right and there sat Henry, watching the moving windshield wipers while trying to decide if he needed to attack! After considerable consideration he opted instead to drop to the floor to poop and pee then bounced back on the seat with a smile of satisfaction and decided to rest for the remainder of the ride. So, pay backs are tough and smelly! 

Shouldn't Have Eaten

A new Tuesday means a new {Pin}spirational Challenge starts today! For my card I used Shouldn't Have Eaten courtesy of this week's sponsor, Paper Pretties! You have one week to join the fun! Check out the photo below and then visit {Pin}spirational Challenge for all the details and more inspiration from my teammates!

Over the Threshold and Buttercup Cottage

I am so pleased to tell you that Just Inklined is releasing 18 new polymer clear stamps! To showcase the stamps I made a step card and created a scene with the newlyweds, Over the Threshold, and their beautiful home, the Buttercup Cottage. The groom might want to wait to pick up his lovely bride until they are through the gate and closer to the door!

Grapesicle and Ice Jade

My card today is a combination of Pop Tones 65# Grapesicle cardstock that I stamped with chipped sapphire distress ink and an overlay of Ice Jade Vellum, both from The PaperTemptress. I embossed the sentiment with white and the flowers are made from ordinary tissue paper purchased at the Dollar Store. Soft green pearls for their centers completes the card.

Edward Elephant - Happy St. Patrick's Day

Green Fingers and Thumbs

Deirdery is determined to have the prize winning marrow this year! So determined, she purchased a cow to ensure fresh manure plus a budget-busting apparatus to store last year's marrow at just the right temperature until the day she could break open the marrow and harvest its seeds for planting! Even though there are several days until the first day of spring, and even longer until the danger of frost has passed, Deirdery, posing as Dr. Digi's House of Stamps adorable gardener, Green Fingers and Thumbs, has decided today is the day to get cracking on this year's blue ribbon! She shoveled the manure and mixed it into the earth and now she's ready to split open the marrow and collect the seeds. Won't she be upset when she finds that over the winter critters have made a lovely home inside her prized marrow and have gotten overly plump indulging in seeds!

Cyclamen

The beautiful Cyclamen from Janey's Digi Designs, is widely grown as a winter-flowering houseplant! Everywhere except at my house! Another victim succumbs to my black thumb! 

Knitting Basket

My card today features Knitting Basket, one of the wonderful images available at Just Inklined! 

Stay tuned, Just Inklined has some wonderful surprises in store for you! 

Tiny New Bundle

Wash Day

It's a beautiful day at Dr. Digi's House of Stamps, so beautiful in fact, its Wash Day! Everyone is busy doing laundry and hanging it out to dry unaware that they are ground zero for a huge migration of birds? Hope the sun is still shining tomorrow because I think it will be another wash day!

Daylily Beth

Even though I am the daughter and granddaughter of florists, I have a very black thumb! When we first moved into our home I was delighted to see daylilies blooming in our yard. Now twenty plus years and eight beautiful Golden Retrievers later, the daylillies still bloom each year! Unlike the Dropwort, when I started creating with Daylily Beth, named in honor of a gardening friend of Janey's Digi Designs, I knew the flower!

Ladies that Lunch

One of the few things I miss about working is grabbing a bite while trying to catch up on all the news with coworkers during lunch hour. Now I go with good friends and we can sit and chat all afternoon over adult beverages! I'm guessing the delightful Ladies that Lunch from the Best of Just Inklined 2012 CD ROM are enjoying a leisurely lunch since they are ready for dessert and coffee!
