SPRING! Where are you??

I am so ready for winter to be over. Bring on Spring!
Mojo Monday has another great sketch this week.

I used a cute stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps and colored it with copic markers than added some stickles. The papers are all from Stampin' Ups Sunny Day Simply Scrappin' line. I love the colors in this! I cut four circles out and snipped around them and inked them. I added the brad to make a cute flower.



Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday Big Brother!

Today is my oldest brothers birthday. He recently had open heart surgery so this is a special day.

I used Stampin Up's Natures Silhouette for this card. I stamped the trees and embossed them in dark green then stamped the deer and embossed it in copper. I used the scallop trim border and corner punches from Stampin Up to mat my image.
He has always been a hunter and he is a Bass fisherman so I hope he enjoys this card.
Thanks for looking!

Create with Connie and Julie

Here is a sketch from Create with Connie & Julie.

I just joined their 8 week subscription and love it! I can't wait to try some more of their projects.
Anyway, here is the card I created using their sketch.

I flipped it over and used Stampin' Ups Sweet Pea Designer Series paper. I cut a butterfly from one of the pages to add to the flower that I punched from scrap paper and folded. Then stamped thank you on the inside of the flower.
Here is a quick look at the inside..

The stamps used on the inside are from All That Scraps.

My daughter made another with my coaching and wanted me to post it too. So here is the one she made also....

Thanks for looking!

Valentine Goodie

Here is a great idea that I got from Clear Dollar Stamps blog....




The bear is colored with copics and is from All That Scraps. I cut all the different hearts out with Stampin Ups punchs and nestibilities in the Cuttlebug. This was a lot of fun to make and will be great for the kids teachers. We plan to add some tissue paper and candy.
