Good Morning!
Had my husband or little girl been home yesterday I think I would have 'chucked a sickie', which is also known as 'calling in sick when you're not' if you're not from Australia. :) It was in the low 50's and absolutely gorgeous outside!! We've had the windows open for the past three days now and our little apartment is full of fresh air again. Ahhh, Spring is almost here my friends!
Today's card is one that came together pretty fast, thankfully, because I tried to spend as little time as possible at my desk this past weekend for obvious reasons! ;)
I was looking forward to coloring up the adorable Emma Puddle Jumper again, who was released last week, from Claudia & Company. She's so sweet and so simple to color up! The next release isn't for a few weeks, but I'm already dying to get a sneak peek at them!
I borrowed this week's sketch from Friday Sketcher's blog (#92) for this layout and kept the embellishments on the minimal side. The papers are from Pink Paisley and Bo Bunny which I picked up at my local scrapbook store. Do you typically buy your papers online or at your LSS? I like to buy mine at a regular store because I like to see the paper up close, but lately, my LSS has changed out their selection in over a year and I'm getting bored! The next closest store is 1.5 hrs away so it's not exactly 'local' anymore. :( I may have to start throwing caution to the wind and start buying mine online from now on. So scary!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

p.s. I used to only purchase from my LSS too, but I am crazy over the selection that Claudia keeps at Die Cuts R Us....so I have switched over to the online world in the last 6 months!!
Hi Sandra! This is so cute - these stamps just go with your beautiful coloring like peanut butter and jelly! (Well, anything would go with your beautiful coloring, but these look so great colored by you!)
I buy almost all of my paper online now. My Independent LSS closed and Micheals and Joann's are just so behind in new product....I do occasionally buy something that doesn't look as good in person, and I'm sure I miss stuff that would really grab me in person, but at least we have that option now! :-)Traci
Cute image, beautiful coloring and fantastic paper, very nice !
This is super sweet! I love the sweet image and you colored her perfectly! Love the paper, layout and the button. I just love it all :)
Sandra, your card is just darling. The image is just wonderful. Your coloring is always amazing.
I would love to have chucked a sickie today - I need spring break to get here.
Hugs - Theresa
What a cute card! I always am in awe of your gorgeous coloring!
Your cards are just fabulous, Sandra! Every. single. one. of. them. You've been on my sidebar for awhile now, but I'm missing too much. Into my feed reader you go! Now I won't miss a single one of your creations!
Sandra this couldn't be any sweeter!!! Your coloring is just gorgeous and those pretty pinks just makes you want to smile.
She certainly is a sweet pea!! I really love this layout and the colors! I have to have to get these adorable stamps!
Gorgeous! You've done wonders with this little lady!
Eeeeeeekkkk!! I LOVE HER!! Awesome card Sandra! Your coloring is just stunning and I love this layout too!
She's so very sweet!
I buy almost exclusively online..take the plunge:-)
Hi Sandra, I have only just recently discovered your blog and I can't stop coming back again and again. What you do with SU! markers amazes me. With everyone so swept away with the Copic craze of late it's refreshing to see someone colouring so beautifully with the old faithfuls....and you achieve so much light in your images I just adore them. Thanks for restoring my faith in my SU! colours. Cheers! L
