Saucy Fairy - OSAAT #260

Hi my friends and Happy Sunday.  It's a little gloomy here with the rainy weather, but I'm not complaining. We always need the rain for the grass, flowers, and trees. My lawn guy put some sod down a week ago, so I'm still wanting it to rain on it so it will give it a good start. I did some repotting today, so those pots could use a little rain on them too.  I've been waiting until I'm actually finished with the yard and flower beds so I can do a blog post about my garden and butterflies. That will come. Just to let you know also that my arm is healing up nicely so the doctor tells me. It's still pretty sore when I try to do somethings, so I try not to do those things. It also wears me out! I'm so tired by the end of the day that I just fall into bed.

Anyway, for now I get to showcase my card that I did for One Stitch at a Time.  Anything Goes with Wings!

Balloon Girl - Monthly Challenge for March

Hi Friends and Happy Sunday!  I sure hope you are having a great weekend. I'm still limited in what I can do around the house and been having some insomnia issues the last several nights.  Even if I can't be very productive, my wonderful Monarch caterpillars are going after it.  This past week I was able to release 11 butterflies. I finally searched out and found out how to tell if they are males or females. The last 2 I released were one of each. I still have tons of chrysallis' that I'm waiting on to hatch and a ton more caterpillars chomping down on all that Milkweed that I've had to be buying. They are fun to watch though and I love it when I can open the hutch door and encourage them to fly away.

Today I have a card to share. It's for a group that I belong to called Girls of the Baker's Dozen. In May we start a new round and the name will change since we don't have 13 members anymore. This card kit was sent to us by Sue and she sent us all the ingredients except an image or sentiment. She decided to leave that up to us.

I've had this image colored up on my desk for some months now and just never got around to making a card to use it on. I think it goes very well on this one.

The DP, ribbon, and flowers are from Sue's kit.  The bling on the flowers is from my stash. The Copic Markers I used: B21, B32, B34; E00, E04, E11, E21, E25, E27, E31, E34; R20, R21; YR04, Y409, YR18

That's it.  I have 2 more cards from the April kit that I'll get posted later this week.  Have a great week.

29 Again! OSAAT #259

Good morning friends.  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Mine - quiet, but that's good. I'm just about over whatever it is I had last week. Still dealing with the arm. I don't know if you have this in your area, but last year I joined Instacart. They work with a few different retail stores such as HEB, Whole Foods, Costco, Petco, and some others where you can shop online and someone will do your shopping and then deliver the items to your home. Yes, it does cost, but in the time that I've been a member, I've had enough occasions to use their services and it's more than paid for itself. I've had about 99% good luck with the service. I don't use it all the time, but for times like these with the broken arm, days you don't feel well, the weather's bad, it's great not to have to go to the store.

Anyway, I'm just a little late getting my card posted.  I was dealing with a noisy neighbor who was having a wild party in their back yard. They were finally told about 9:30 to turn the noise level down which they did. So, here's my card for this fortnight's challenge over at One Stitch at a Time where the theme is Anything Goes With Distressing!

Materials Used:

• Image - Stitchy Stamps - Birthday Girl
• Sentiment - Stampin Up 
• Cardstock - Stampin Up Summer Starfruit; Xpress It Blending Card
• Ink - Tuxedo Memento Black; Tim Holtz - Distress Ink, Wild Honey
• Designer Paper - Stitchy Stamps - Grungy Girl from Panda Bear Designs
• Accessories - Bling and Violet Flower - Recollections; Yellow flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts; Spellbinders - Classic Oval Die and Lacy Oval Die; Distressing Tool
• Copic Markers - E23, E25, E27; E50, E51, E53; V01, V04, V06; Y06, Y15, Y18, Y28

Now, it's your turn.  I hope you'll come join in the fun. Our sponsor as usual is Stitchy Stamps and they are providing a $10 Gift Certificate for one lucky winner.  You could also be named as one of the Top 3, so I hope I see you over there.
