CARD 2
This was a fun card but I have a secret!!! Shhhhh... I don't do coloring in very well so I stamped the owls on dsp and card stock and cut them out so they would look soooo cute. Then I used dimenionals to place them on the card. I added some leaves from the bird builder punch to looks like they are sitting in a tree.

CARD 3
Out of pearls but they would look good in the middle of the flowers. I saw this on Pinterest Kerry Timms from the UK had it pinned. Love her work. I did add the blue top and bottom trim and I used the blue theme and she used the pink theme.

Varies colors of cardstock and dsp for the owls above and I am in love with the Starburst Framlits Dies.

First Day of Spring!!!

Today I made this sweet wreath for my front door. I looked around my craft room and found the faux pink hyacinths, burlap, raffia and faux ivy. I had a fall wreath with fall leaves and pumpkins and took it apart and added those items with hot glue. What would we do without hot glue.

Below is a close up of the burlap rosettes that I made with some folded ribbon style burlap. I just would it around itself and used hot glue to hold it together.

Happy Spring!

Weekly Deals 3/18/14 ~ 3/24/14

Big Shot Class ~ Last weekend I offered a big shot class at the Salvation Army Crop. We had so much fun. They each brought their big shot and plates and platform. I brought my big shot dies and embossing folders and framelits for them to use.

My make and take was a garden stake made from aluminum flashing. Love it. They also made bag tags that I did not take a picture of. :( so sorry.

At our crops we have several tables of friends that like to sit together and since I go early to set up I make place cards to indicate where they sit. I thought since owls are popular again I would use our owl punch. (why didn't I save all my owl stuff from the 70's ) :(

I printed the names on my computer first using the business card template on Microsoft Word and then cut the cards out and added the punched out owls.

Thanks for stopping by! PS! I thought since I was on an owl kick I would make my tag at the end of my blog post using the owl punch on MDS! Love My Digital Studio... try it free for 30 days contact me for more information.

NOTE: I am working on adding a search box on my blog in case you want to look back to an older post but having some difficulties so stay tune. :)

Blessed Easter

This is a card I featured recently, I love the spotlight technique. Sometimes I back the circle punch with a solid color of card stock but I forgot it this time but guess what I love it. So did my customers last weekend at the Salvation Army Crop.
