Precious Remembrance Guest Designer

Happy Tuesday to all of you.  Dyane of Precious Remembrance Shop chose me as a Guest Designer for the month of March.  I'm so excited!  I'll be working with the fabulous stamp set you see pictured below.


Oh, I am so in love with these sentiments and they're so versatile ... I can't wait to start sharing my projects with you.  The Precious Remembrance Shop is a new retailer that carries their own line of high quality photopolymer clear stamps.  Dyane currently has two brand new stamp sets and will be adding more collections in the next couple of months.  They ship worldwide and have both first class and priority mail available.  And you can also estimate the shipping charges before checkout ... I love that feature!  You can visit the Precious Remembrance Blog where Dyane shares tutorials and all the latest cards.  She's also over on Facebook in case you'd like to check it out.  


Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Anita

A Spring Release at StampFairy

Good morning.  Since this is Friday that can only mean one thing ... we have a new release over at StampFairy.  Gerda has created some adorable spring images for us.


This sweet little bear is part of the Linda Spring collection.  Isn't she a cutie?  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on her nose.  I added some ribbon, a button, and some pearls.  The papers are some I've add forever but thought they worked well for a spring card. 


Here's the entire collection.  Did you notice the pretty flower in the collection?  that's a freebie that Gerda is giving away :)  Be sure to stop by the StampFairy Blog to check out the beautiful work by the rest of the DT.

Delia's Birthday Wishes

Happy Wednesday to all of you.  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Sugar Nellie Blog.  I'm also using this card for the "Bling It Up" challenge that starts today over on the Divas By Design Challenge Blog.


This beautiful little fairy is Sugar Nellie's Delia and you can find her over at Funky Kits.  She's colored with Distress Inks and I've added lots of Glamour Dust to make her sparkle.  This card is for a good friend's granddaughter who will soon be turning 5.  She loves pink so I think this will be the perfect card for little Emily.  And I'm sure she'll love the glitter ... what 5 year old girl doesn't love glitter lol?

Please stop by the Divas By Design Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous work by the rest of the DT and to find out all the challenge details.  The challenge is being sponsored by The Digi Garden.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita
