A Day For Daisies Blog Hop

Hi peeps and welcome to A Day For Daisies Blog Hop. I used to design for ADFD and a few weeks ago was asked if I'd like to join us for a surprise blog hop for Tammy showcasing our favorite image from ADFD.

What I love about ADFD image is the fine detail and sketch of their images. I especially love their fairies and critter image. Pretty much I think Tammy's drawing has a distinct style that when you see it, you know it's her design.

This first card is an old card that I made back in the day when I was part of their design team. I just love this image because it's so sweet and perfect for thinking of you or missing you card. If you want to see ADFD beautiful fairy digi stamps, you can find them all HERE.




Looking at this card, totally make me realize how I so rarely using ribbon on my card nowadays. Need to remind myself to try playing with ribbon again.

Next is a new card that I made using one of my favorite critter image, the Fall Squirrel. As an animal lover, beautiful animal stamps have special place in my heart. I fell in love with this image from the moment I saw it and I have to have it.




How about you? Are you more of a fairy person or critter person? Or both, like me?

Now, no hop is complete without prize, right?  The hop has hidden prizes - a commenter from each hidden prize stop will win a choice of one image from theADFD Shop! You won’t know where the prizes are hidden, so be sure to leave a comment at each stop of the Hop! Our Blog Hop will run from 7:00 a.m. eastern standard time on Saturday, February 25, 2017 until 9:00 p.m. eastern standard time on Tuesday, February 27, 2017

You can find all the prize detail on  ADFD blog.

Katy's Kindness Blog Hop




Hello and Welcome to the Kindness Campaign Card Drive and blog hop. The Katy M. Murphy Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded by Katy's mom Amiee. Katy had a congenital heart defect and lost her life at the tender age of 6. Amiee started the Foundation to honor her daughter's memory.

The Katy M. Murphy Foundation would like to start sending out Kindness Kits to families that are on similar journey as Katy. The purpose of a Katy's Kindness Kit is to share a bit of happiness with a child, and their families, that are stuck in the hospital. Each kit will contain items that brought Katy happiness during her many hospitalizations and will be delivered to patients, inpatient, at Boston Children's Hospital specifically on the cardiac floors. 

We would like to add a handmade card to each kit and that is where YOU come in. We will need many cards and are turning to the card making community for help.

Today we are kicking off the card drive with a blog hop. We are hoping that all of you will help us by sending in cards to help complete Katy's Kindness Kits. The foundation will be delivering kits to the hospital to help make the children and their families stay at the hospital easier, or kinder if you will.

All the details for the card drive can be found HERE, as well as a list of AMAZING sponsors who have offered up some phenomenal prizes to be raffled off to those who submit cards. Please read the rules carefully. The card drive will run from February 14th to April 15th, 2017.

I made this sweet card using Purple Onion Designs stamp just for this hop:




I hope many of you will help and participate by sending in cards. As card maker, we have lots of handmade cards in our stash, what better way than putting them for good use to brighten someone's day, right?
Now, let's get on with the hop. Here is the list of participating blogs. Thank you for stopping by here and may your day be a blessed one filled with lots of love.

Love You More



Hi peeps. I am back with a second card for the day. This time, I am sharing this card I made for The Ton February challenge, which has the theme LOVE.

I think when people think of this theme challenge, we tend to think of pink or red, the color of Valentine. Well, now & then I like thinking differently. Why not venture out & try out fun, unusual color combo to convey love? Love is not only for Valentine, right? And, Valentine doesn't have to be pink or red only.

I am definitely one of those people who have no problem saying I love you, including to my friends. With my friend in mind, I decided to do a feminine, purple girly card.




And, yep, my tendency for unusual color combo came out. At first, I was like.... hm... maybe I made a mistake with the color combo. But then, I was like this combo kind of grow on me. So, I decided to go forward & let it be. :)

I used Poppy Garden Cling Background, added details with Copic & finish with sentiment from I Got You set. For added visual interest, I stamped the butterflies from the same background stamp in different color ink, fussy cut it & adhere to the card with pop dots.

You have about a month to play along, so I sure hope you will join our fun challenge. Just for playing along, you'll get enter for a chance to win $50 of The Ton gift card. You can find all the challenge details & enter  your card HERE.

That's it from me today. May your February be a blessed one.
