me want cookies......

It's Greetings Team challenge day over at The Outlawz and who doesn't like cookies?
That's the theme for the week and not sure I'm going to make it through without cranking up the oven.  
Edie has posted the challenge with a little history about the cookie, so go on over and check it out.
Who knows, you may get inspired and send us your own cookie card or project.
Here's my card for the week.
Thanks for stopping by

Lazy Sunday

Sorry I didn't get anything posted yesterday, but I needed a nap.  My husband was out of town and I got to spend the night with the cutest little man around.  His mom and dad had to attend a wedding and grandma got to babysit.  He is a great little boy, but I must admit that he was a little restless most of the night.  They left him with me and probably the first time he had been fed for over 12 hours with a bottle.  My guess from experience is that the little guys tummy had way too much air...
My night of lost sleep is easy to make up and I am so blessed to be his grandma.
(6 weeks)
Thanks for stopping today.
proud grandma, Nancy

Summer Strawberries

It's summer and time for strawberries and I want to share a Mo Manning image that I got last year and never had a chance to color.  Knowing that I wanted to make the strawberries red, I then needed to find a paper that would work with that color.  I had this paper from Pine Cone Press that has been laying on my desk just waiting for the correct image.  Today was the day.  Having 4 patterns on one side of the 12 X 12 paper was just what I needed and the perfect fit.  I love this color combo anyway so it was so easy to put together.  The sentiment is from Amuse Studio and then I added a little bling.

I hope you have a great weekend and as always, thanks for stopping by today.

Would a Cookie Help?

Playing around today with a couple of images still laying on my desk from an upcoming challenge post, so I just picked one up and made this card.  I'm not using this image for next weeks challenge over at The Outlawzs, so I can share it with you today.
The image is digital cookiefairy from Whimsiedoodle.

I colored with Copics and used a little Stickles on her wings.  Layered a couple of papers added some ribbon and I think this cookie is baked and ready to go.
Thanks for stopping today.

Just a quick Gratitude...

Today I want to share a very quick card that I made.
I recently purchased the Martha Stewart Circle Edge Punch and of course the minute I got it home I had to play.  I started with the scallop punch that comes with the base then I punched a circle using the Diamond Lace  design.  The punch system is very easy, but I must admit that this pink one had a small area that was not perfect.  Well I couldn't throw it away, so I cut it up and applied to the front of a card base.  
I stamped a basic sentiment and then layered a few paper flowers with a brad for decoration.
So easy and I have another basic thank you card in my stash.
Have I told you lately how much I like to use my paper scraps!
Thanks for stopping today.
