Crocus

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

We thought that spring was here, but now we're back to winter.

It will only last a few days though.

The early spring flowers have blossomed.  I don't have crocus in my yard

so I have to put them on cards.

I've used my dear friend Michele's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches for these crocus.

Here's here sketch....

I've used a different shaped frame and moved my greenery up a bit.  I hope that's allowed.

I've cut the flowers and leaves out of white cardstock and sponged on color before

assembling the flowers.

If I'm going to mail Easter cards, I need to get them ready to mail.

Are you finding that the mail is extra slow these days?

LIttle Weirdo

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I hope this guy makes you smile.

When this guy popped up in my email, he got my instant attention, even though I am

on a self imposed buying hiatus.  He did get instant attention though and didn't have to

sit in my NBUS box for long.  In fact, he didn't even make it into the box.

He's been stamped with Copic friendly ink and colored with Ohuhu and Copic markers.

I used a stencil to add some interest around him and a simple sentiment.

I hope he's CAS enough.

Challenges:

CAS Colours & Sketches #580 - Daffodil Delight, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green

NBUS #84 - Never Before Used Schtuff

Love Bookmark

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I usually read on my Kindle and don't need bookmarks, but I do use actual books

for my Bible and study books.  I love having a pretty bookmark to save my place.

These backgrounds were done by blowing colored bubbles in a cup and dipping the

cardstock into the bubbles.  You can read more about this technique on this post.

I made one for each of my small group study partners.  They were very well received.

Challenges:

Double D - Bookmarks or stamps

Penny Black Saturday - ATG using Penny Black

Alstroemeria Hello

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

We are seeing signs of spring here and I'm enjoying creating with spring colors.

Karren's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #726 made me scratch my head.  But

the Design Team gave me some ideas as always.

And I found this flower in the pouch with the die cut, all colored and ready to go.

Here's the sketch...
