Just a Note.

Hope you're having a good week. March is certainly flying by! One more week and we will be on spring break, and I'm excited for a slower pace for a bit!

I really had fun playing around with Watercolor Wonder to made this clean card. I used my beloved A Muse inks.

Hope you have a great day!

Cloud9



I'm playing along with this month's Cloud9 Blog Hop . Isn't that photo gorgeous?

I was inspired by the colors and made two cards.

cloud 9 march 1

For the first, I stamped a background using different images from Folk Art Floral and Embroidered Bouquet. The sentiment is from Written on Ribbon.
cloud 9 march 2

I stamped the square image from Chantilly Trim four times, overlapping. The sentiment is from Quite Like you. I then stamped and cut out a trim image, also from Chantilly Trim.

Thanks for taking a look!

Card Set

Happy Monday evening!

Every year, I make a set of cards to donate to our preschool's silent auction. This is the first year we are not at the preschool :(

I made this set using PTI's Stitched Sentiments for the floral portion, and Wplus9's banner die and Written on Ribbon.

Happy Birthday

Have you seen the new Monday Mood Board hosted by Dawn at Wplus9 ? Here is this week's gorgeous photo:


I really love these colors together! Navy and coral are beautiful together. Here's what I made, and it reminds me of my Mom's Willow Pattern china.

I used two images from Wplus 9's Chantilly Trim to stamp the background using A Muse studio's Navy ink. The tag was stamped with Embroidered Bouquet (also Wplus9).

Thanks for stopping by!

Wonderful Friend

I had so much fun making this card! I used Wplus9's Chantilly Trim and heat embossed the lace image. I then stamped and cut out the floral images, and stamped the sentiment onto the Winter Wisteria layer before impressing it with the coverplate.

This card is off to a super sweet friend!

Thanks for taking a look!
