A dreamy birthday wish....

 Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommy's out there!!!

I decided today was the perfect day for a little me time in my craft room.  I colored Dreamy Willa such a long time ago & had her sitting on my craft desk with the patterned paper all ready.  I chose a paper pad from Basic Grey called Marjorie that I have been hoarding for a really long time.  Since you can't get Basic Grey anymore I am super cautious about what I use it for.  But Dreamy Willa was the perfect image for this paper.  I always need birthday cards so I paired Willa with this Happy Birthday sentiment.

 These are the Copic Colors just in case you need them.....

Time for a little carpentry!

 Happy Monday HH Fans!!

Today I want to share this great masculine image with you called Carpenter Ant from High Hopes.   I kind of chuckle every time I look at this image.  Carpenter ants are so bad if you get them in your house, but this guy was just so fun to make a card with.  I actually think he is kinda handsome for an ant...yeah I know crazy right!  I picked this particular Happy Birthday sentiment because I thought the font with the little dots looked like nail heads.

I die cut some mini little tools, sorry don't know the brand as I borrowed them from a friend.  It took me a little time to figure out just how to use them but I thought they were perfect for this card.  I cut the tools out of textured cream cardstock & gave them a little bit of color with my Copics.  I listed the colors below.  I also die cut a fence in cream cardstock & used some Memento Espresso ink to dd some dark color.
