Its almost Springtime here and I can't wait.  My flowering pear trees are FULL of the little white flowers already and we have pretty daffodils that have sprouted.  Now if the weather would STAY at 70 degrees I'd be one happy lady! I created this card with the inspiration of my trees in the front yard.  My son wanted to make a card so while he stamped, this one just kind of evolved. I stamped the tree first, then the kids on the bench.  It needed some grass below (my daughter helped me with this part).  Then (she helped me) stamp the sun in two colors on the top.  I added the sentiment at the top too.  But being a 6x6 white card, it needed a whole lot more.  I stamped a cloud then cut it out.  Using it as a mask, I sponged Sky ink to create the sky.  I tore some paper and used that as a guide for my landscape sponged in Sweet Leaf ink.  All that was missing was a big yellow button for the sun. And voila!  While supervisin...

I had some leftover supplies from THIS card from my open house, so I tried to create some different cards! This first one uses the May SOTM Cherish the Moment ! This stamp set is a must have for cards and layouts alike! This card uses both the Over the Rainbow set and State of Mind. Supplies: Splendor Lv 2 Over the Rainbow Hot Diggity State of Mind Cherish the Moment Goldrush, Autumn Terra Cotta, Crystal Blue inks Autumn Brads Autumn Buttons

Another upcoming workshop I will be holding features the all new Clear Cards! The clear cards come in a set of 8, 4 scalloped circle and 4 square. They come with clear envelopes as well. I used the Splendor paper pack again, with a few new stamp sets! I just love this new stuff as you can tell! These cards were inspired by the CTMH Keynotes and fellow consultant Christine.

Today I am showcasing a Mini Tag Album that I have created for an upcoming class! It is simply "Splendid". This tag album is made out of 3 toilet paper rolls (ssshhhh don't tell my son, he's collecting them for some reason). I flattened the rolls, sponged and covered them! I used my brand new (Christmas time) Bind-it-all!!! I used the new Splendor paper pack and several new stamp sets to create this "splendid album". It will hold 5 wallet sized photos! Supplies: Splendor Lv 2 State of Mind Over the Rainbow Hot Diggity Irresistibles- Pizzazz Colonial White Ribbon Misc ribbon Goldrush, Topiary, Crystal Blue ink This workshop will be held on Saturday May 15, 11:30am.
