Even though we “just” had the horrible snow storm & power outages, there are dandelions out!  We finally have more 70* days in the forecast than not!!!   The current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge is to “add some green”.  I think this image from Purple Onion Designs is adorable!  It’s called Wishing.  I used a sentiment from Picket Fences.  The cloud stencil from MFT.

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous Sponsor/s for their continued support.  

Stamp: Confetti Fun House Mouse Stampendous
