You must come back.

DSC#229

Despite the rain and cold temperatures, the flowers are all taking a stand a refusing the back down. Sprig, you have spring and you better come back for good. I must say that tasting my first pick of asparagus from the garden was absolutely heavenly! I know that once we get more warm weather there will be plenty of that for us to enjoy.

I know the inspiration from DoStamper Stars 229 is more of a summer delight, I stuck with my Spring delight. I love the sight of flowers in gardens all over town. Even dandelions make me happy. For my flower bouquet I use the Thankful Life stamp set, which will retire at the end of May. I have enjoyed this set and know that I will use it many more times to come. I added a bit of color on the background, with the Touches of Textures stamp set, to break up the white. The discreet look s of the Bermuda Bay Stitched Ribbon finalized the card with a subtle elegance. An All Occasion card sure to please anyone.

Thank you for visiting today. Be well

Life is beautiful Thankful.

Each day, as I wake up and read during my breakfast, I get more and more mesmerized as how beautiful life truly is. The miracles that comes forth with each dawn, the small surprises that the little ones bring, and the beauty all around us.



As the beauty of daily life, having art around us just enhance the experience. The inspiration from Dostamper Stars 217 jumped on me and the only set that I could think of was the Thankful Life. This is a beautiful stamp set and the fact that I can effortlessly add colors to the flowers in layers make me that much happier. I used the retired Label Collection for framing the image and add a touch of Early Espresso ribbon with a bow just for breaking the color and to utilize the hint of brown from the inspiration picture. Now, the dots on the vase was just for fun and they were heat embossed in white. The bigger Delightful Dijon flowers have a pearl on them which makes them so nice and delicate. A card that is sure to bring a comfort and smile to a friend or loved one.

Thank you for visiting today. I look forward to your next visit. Be well

Musical week is over. Back to crafting now!

PPA311


A musical week it was and I am happy to say that despite tremendous exhaustion, we had a wonderful time and learned a lot this past week. Me and my daughter spent this past week at Stevens Point in a Suzuki Summer Institute, as we have done every other year, and the child thrive despite the rigid and busy schedule. I love every minute of it all.

I am glad to be back and being able to spend a bit of much needed time in my craft room. Oh, I have missed my space so much. I did some organizing and then decided to prepare a CAS card for the PPA 311. I used the new Flourishing Thinlits for the center image, and the matching stamp set Flourishing Phrases for the corners. I stamped that in Smoky Slate as I did not want to stand out too much. Not sure it can be seen in the picture, but I like how it is very subtle. The Smoky Slate layer is Textured Embossed in Perfect Polka Dots TIEF, and cut using the retired Labels Collection. Rhinestones were added to the "buds" on the cut out image and that added a special touch to this All Occasions card.

Hope you enjoyed your visit today. Thank you for stopping by. Be well

Gift of Love



Summer is really upon us, but it seems to be moving all too fast. Perhaps it is just because I am so busy. We have been enjoyed having many friends over and making great summer memories. That leaves little time to play in my craft room, and next week it will be impossible as I will be in violin camp with my daughter. It is a wonderful experience and she loves every moment of it.

Today's card was made with lots of people in mind as I have many in my life that make us feel loved. They are special people that fill our lives and spread happiness whatever they go. The set used here is the Gift of Love stamp set. The Dostamper Start challenge 190 calls for any set that is exclusive for hostess and this jumped on me, so what can I say, I put it to use. The texture on the Garden Green is Elegant Dots TIEF and notice that I raised the front panel so the image is set back making a nice frame for the image and sentiment. The ribbon is in Flirty Flamingo and a perfect bow to go with that.

Hope you are enjoying your summer and finding time to let your creative juices flow too. There are more inspiration for this challenge and you can see them all by visiting the other Dostamper Stars. Thank you for your visit. I look forward to seeing you again. Be well
