Get Well

Everyone has been sick in my family, so I thought I would create a Get Well card.  This one is 5x5.  I also used some of the DSP that you can get for FREE in the Sale-a-bration flyer.


I really like the Summer Starfruit and Rich Razzleberry together. The white butterfly I use the Creped Filter paper that can be found in the Spring Occasion catalog.  I liked these colors together so much that I created Thank you cards using this design too.

A Cup of Thanks

I really like this stamp set, Tea Shoppe.  There so many options to create with it.  This is a card that we made in one of my classed back in January.


It's hard to tell but I sponged some Crumb Cake on the Very Vanilla to give a vintage look.  I also cut one of the little flowers out put it on with a dimensional to make it pop.  The Calypso Coral is going to be a color I think we will see alot of for Spring.

Spring Banner


I had a team meeting a couple a weeks ago, and we always do swaps.  Swap theme for this meeting was Spring or Easter.  I choose Spring and made this cute banner.  The banner it's self is 4x6.  I mostly used punches to decorated it.

 You can make this for any Holiday or season.

It has been snowing since late last night, we have about four or five inches of snow.  School was canceled.  In the last 3 weeks we have had a snow storm ever Tuesday and they keep getting worse then the last.  So today I am staying in the house and playing catch up on my blogging.  I have taken all the pictures and loaded them.  Now all I have to do is write all the posts, so keep checking back to see what I have been up to.

The first project I have for you is a card that we made in one of my January classes, but I thought it fit for today's snowy day.
