Poppies

It seems like I just finished making birthday cards for January & it's already time to make Feb. cards!
Our weather was beautiful today & has me dreaming of spring. I'm not going to get my hopes up too high, we are supposed to have a cold front coming through next week. I got this image from Wish Rak, but ran across it while looking for another image.

Glitter Challenge

Making this card was quite the ordeal!!! I have a big, office paper cutter & with my shoulder I am not able to cut my cardstock. I would line up the cardstock & one of my boys would pull down the lever. It mostly worked! *wink* I pulled out a piece of c/s that was already cuttlebugged (is that a word?) I definitely can't use my Cuttlebug right now. My boys were laughing so hard watching me stamping. They said they needed to put it on youtube! (not!!) I used 3 colors of stickles on this!!!

I'm linking this up to the Valentine use your stash challenge on THIS blog.

STVSKSP10 Daisy

I made this for the sketch challenge on Stamptv. Can you believe that it's been 24 days into the new year & this is the first time I've pulled out this daisy?? I'm still pulling out things from my stash to use. I have placed one order, using a gc from Christmas... but I'm still waiting on it to arrive.

I was glad that the sketch was an easy one. I dislocated my shoulder over the weekend & it gets sore after a little while. For some reason, house work doesn't seem to bother it like stamping & typing.

Stamps: Flowers for Daisy Gina K.
c/s: Lemon Tart, Black, white
Damask Sizzix folder, black gingham ribbon, copics, black brads, oval punches

Forgotten Stamp Friday Tulips

Where did the week go? It's time for another Forgotten Stamp Friday I needed a sympathy card & when I saw these tulips, I knew that they would be the image I used. Several years ago, a friend of mine took several beautiful pictures of tulips & gave to me. I've framed them & now have them in my craft area. Every time I see tulips, I think of her. I stamped my sympathy message on the inside.

Stamps: Tulips from Northwoods
C/s: black, white
copics, black pearls, red grosgrain ribbon
