What a Wonderful Weekend!


 I've been out sick for a couple of weeks, but the most important thing I've done recently is attended the Crop and Create Delivered Spring 2023 workshop put on by Scrapbook & Cards Today. I made twenty-five cards and have several more yet to make from the wonderful workshops and fabulous instructors. Thank you Catherine and all the folks at Scrapbook & Cards Today, as well as Sara, Angie, Meghann, Libby, Kim, Laura, Taylor, Simon, Gina, Stephanie, Jenn, Yasmin, Christopher, Cathy, Kelly, Michelle, Angie, and Jennifer. We laughed, we cried, we had the best time. This was my first time attending but definitely won't be my last. The card to the left is a top folding shaped card from the Stamps of Life class. All the needed supplies, from the paper to the felt to the shaker bits to the dies and the paper pad that the kitty with the present is from was provided by Stamps of Life. They aren't the only generous manufacturer, all the class providers sent wonderful assortments of product-twelve and a half pounds total to 2900 attendees! I can't say enough good things about this event!

Happy St. Patrick's Day a little early!

 

May the luck of the Irish be with you! This card uses some shamrock patterned paper I had in my stash, textured green cardstock, and bright white cardstock. The die is by CZ Designs for Simon Says Stamp and the sentiment is from a Newton's Nook set. The green sequins are from Trinity Stamps Plastic Pine Tree set. I used Wink of Stella clear to paint all the white shamrock outlines, though you can't tell in the picture. The sentiment was stamped with Distress Ink in Pine Needles.

Congratulations Grandmother!


 A dear friend of mine welcomed a new granddaughter a few days ago and I made her this card to celebrate. The baby girl paper is from my stash, the letters were cut using Lawn Fawn's Henry's ABCs, the vellum heart was cut with Newton's Nook Heart Frames, and the bunnies are from Simon Says Stamp Hoppy Days Ahead collection. They were colored with Copic markers. I hope she likes it!

Happy Mail

 I used the new Postage Collage Coloring set from Waffle Flower for today's card. The inks are from a variety of companies, mostly Gina ...
