I also wanted to share my beautiful flowers my hubby brought home for me today after he went to the doctor. Aren't they gorgeous! :)

I hope you love it! Have a blessed day!!

A True Friend


Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!! As a photographer my weekends are always crazy and filled with amazing sessions! :) So Monday is a time for relaxing or sleeping in my case today. Maybe it's the rain that has made me so sleepy today. LOL!

I stamped this card a few days ago and thought I would share. I found this huge flower stamp in my old Stampin' Up! collection! I absolutely love it! I stamped it on kraft cardstock in white ink. Then used my brightest copic markers to color in the image. I also added some wink of stella glitter pen to the top of the image to make it extra sparkly and beautiful! The sentiment is from Mama Elephant!

I hope you love it! Have a great week!
Hugs, Ash-

Butterfly Beauty




Happy Friday! I decided to go through some of my very old favorite stamps. I found these beautiful butterflies. Honestly I can't even remember what this stamp set is called. LOL! It is from back in 2004 by Stampin' Up! I can't believe I've been stamping for over 10 years! Crazy! The beautiful sentiments are from Mama Elephants stamp sets. 

I used some new inks by Studio Calico! They are amazing at generation stamping!!! :) 

Have a great day!!

It's Life's Little Moments



Happy MONDAY! Here is today's card for the Clean and Simple card challenge. Today we had a color challenge where we could pick from several colors.


 I decided on doing a starry sky which I've been wanting to try forever! :) I finally found a lone star stamp just laying around. It's from one of my old Stampin' Up stamp sets... I have no idea which one. LOL! ;-) 

I stamped the stars in versamark randomly and then took the handle of a paint brush and pressed it into the versamark a little. Then stamped little random dots around the stars with it. :) I embossed the stars using white detail embossing powder. Then took toilet paper in a ball and pressed it into my Navy Studio Calico ink! Using a circular pressing motion I swirled it all around to create the background! :) 

I colored the adorable bunnies from Mama Elephants Honey Bunny stamp set using my copic markers and added some wink of stella glitter to their tails. :) 

I hope you love this! 

Hugs, Ash-

Happy Color Blocking

Happy Monday! Here is my card for todays Clear and Simple challenge! :) I colored blocks of color with my watercolor markers. Then I sprayed the color out over the card. Then I die cut the HAPPY which is from PTI. I made 4 layers of the die cuts to make it have dimension. Then added wink of stella clear glitter over the top! :)
