Sending Love And Hugs

( ** Please scroll down for my SugarPea Designs post **)

Happy Monday to all of you!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and if you're a mother then I hope you had an amazing Mother's Day!  Today I'm sharing a card that features one of Lori's adorable images from her April release.


This sweet thing is Puddle Jumper Baylee.  I colored her with copics and then fussy cut her.  My papers are Carta Bella and the sentiment is by My Favorite Things.  Be sure to stop by the By LORi Designs Blog each day to see what the team is sharing.  You can find all of Lori's designs in the By LORi Designs Digi Shop.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Sugar Sketch 003

Good morning sweeties!  Today we are starting a new Sugar Sketch Challenge at SugarPea Designs.

7KCF - Sweet Friend

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for my post over on the 7KCF Store Blog. 



This little cutie is Doodle Garden Sweet Friend from My Favorite Things.  I've had this little sweetie for quite awhile and finally found some time to play with her.  I colored her with copics and matted her on an oval that I cut with my Spellbinders die.  The fun papers are from Doodlebug Design.

Have A Bubbly Day!

Today over on the By LORi Designs Blog we have a new release and a new artist joining the BLD family!


Help us welcome Dawn and her very first release!


I used Bird In Bath, one of Dawn's digis.  I fell in love with this cute image as soon as I saw it and knew I had to use my bubble embossing folder with her :)   I colored her with copics and colored pencils and then used Glossy Accents on her beak.  I also added Glossy Accents to the bubbles and the hearts on her shower cap and sprinkled just a tiny bit of Glamour Dust on those.  This was such a fun and easy card!

Please stop by the By LORi Designs Blog to check out the rest of Dawn's images and to give her a big welcome!  You'll also find more adorable new images by Lori's daughter, Ella. 

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Anita
