Celebrate!!!

I hope you have all had a nice day. It seemed to be warmer here today, maybe? Hope that trend stays a while!!! I was able to make this card tonight using my Country Girl Birthday image from Fresh Brewed Designs.


I colored her with prismacolor markers and skin copics. The cake is coated with tulip slick paint to make it look more 'real'. I have to admit, I have very little ... next to none .. experience with a sewing machine. This is the first time I have used the one my hubby got me for Christmas. I have a feeling my Hannah will use it more for making doll clothes than I will :). I did enjoy flinging my paper around and making a mess thought :D. I could not for the life of me keep it straight ... but really like the way it looks. Sortof has a lasso feel to it ... so it goes with the country girl feel, right?

OK, I am babbling!!! I really need my coffee :)
The kids are still a bit under the weather so to speak. They have terrible coughs. This is how they spent their afternoon ... until the fighting and screaming started.. UGH! Hope tomorrow will be much better. Poor babies :(

Have a great night!

Hi everyone. Have you ever had one of those days when you just want to crawl back in bed.. and stay there? lol. For no other reason to be lazy (I guess). The kiddos are still a little sick. They have not gotten up yet, so we will know for sure shortly.

Paper piecing, prismacolor markers, copic ciao skin tones,
bazil CS, DP scrap, paper piercing and doodled stitching with white gel pen

Today I want to share with you a card I made using a soon to be released Hannah Belle. This is Hannah Belle Tea Party. I created these images in the likeness of my own daughter when she was around 3 years old. She had the cutest cheeks and ... Oh if I don't stop I never will!!! :) Hannah's favorite color is purple, one of mine too. The funny thing is, I find it VERY hard for me to work with when making cards. I stayed with an entire monochromatic scheme and I am really happy with how it turned out. If you like the Hannah Belles you have seen so far, be sure to come back on January 20th for the full image release, a blog hop and prizes!!! :)

Hannah and I made this yummy banana bread Tuesday and I had to share it with you! It was so moist and yummy!!! Hard to find an egg and milk free recipe that works!!! Well, I had to alter this one to fit our needs, so it was all in all a toss up. I was so happy when it came out. Hannah was a little disgusted mixing the mashed banana concoction therefore a little reluctant to try it after it was baked, but she did and she liked it.. enough to try it once :) lol. I have been munching on it the past few days. Warm it up, slather it with butter and add a hot cop of coffee .. YUMM!!! I think I hear breakfast calling!!! See you all later.
