How sweet it is!

Every week our club has a sketch challenge. We also have monthly card theme; this month being “Food for Thought.” I decided to incorporate both of them this week. I chose a Power Poppy digital stamp and colored it with my Lyra pencils.

Chickin’ on you

I bought spring chickens from Beccy’s Place sometime ago and whenever I use them, I can’t help but smile. They are framed by some digital paper called Clucker Clackers 😄 from Imagine That. I couldn’t resist buying it.

Having fun

It sure is a blessing having a card making hobby these days. It’s something that I can do that gives me pleasure as my husband and I are still staying home. Good thing he has a hobby too. Having all the paper, digital stamps, etc. that I have accumulated over the years (and the ability to still buy more without leaving home if I have to) has turned out to be beneficial. This image is from Power Poppy and the decorative paper is from Stampin’ Up.

Shake it up!

My little great grand, Carter, will be 8 years old this week. I decided to take a break from coloring and make him a shaker card.

Magnolias

Love to Color, the name of my blog, is aptly named. I really enjoyed coloring this digital stamp from Power Poppy and maybe I should make the saying on this card my slogan because when I take the time to color, it relaxes me and makes me smile.

Birds of a feather

While I normally color an image for my cards, once in a great while I make a card without any coloring. Such is the case with this card. Using both sides of this beautiful decorative paper from Stampin Up speaks for itself in this layout.

Flowering Flowers

How I love to color with my Lyra colored pencils. I love the way these pencils grab the paper. And of course, when I want to color flowers, where would I want to go...Power Poppy of course. I made the following card for my daughter and son in law who are celebrating their 28th wedding anniversary this Saturday.

Hello there!

Still Home Sweet Home

How fortunate we are to have a hobby we can do at home. Most of us have plenty of supplies to keep our creative juices flowing.

This is one of my many Power Poppy images which I colored with my Lyra colored pencils. I got the frame out of my frame stash. It’s so nice to find something which is perfect for a project.

A good time to have a hobby

As I, like many Americans, am staying close to home these days, trying to do our part to keep this horrible virus from spreading. I made this card with a Power Poppy Image, coloring it with my Lyra colored pencils. I thought the verse was very appropriate since we do need to have patience especially now.

In the groove

Well, almost. As you can see, I’m still having a good time playing with my gingham paper. I also decided to start using some of the dies I’ve had for a long time, so I made a flip card. I colored this Power Poppy flower a while back so I was tickled that I could use it on this card. More fun.

Happy New Year fellow bloggers. It’s time for me to get back in the groove and start participating in some challenges. Recently I downloaded some gingham paper and am enjoying using it. I colored a Power Poppy Image and layered it on the green. I’m entering it in Pammiesinkypinkieschallenges.blogspot.com
