Spring has Sprung!

Hi everyone.. I'm a little late posting my card this week.  I was at Scrapfest this past weekend and was able to complete my card.  And now I'm also able to officially say Spring has Sprung!  Yesterday was a gorgeous day here in SW Ontario and tons of people, including my DH, were out raking their yards, taking a walk and just enjoying the sunshine and the warmer weather.

Without further ado... here is my card.

I tried a new-to-me technique on this card.  Stamping off!  I quite like the effect and will likely use it more in the future.

Thanks for stopping by.  Drop by the Party and see the Spring or Easter options the other Party-ers have created!

I see ... Stripes!

Over at the Crazy Card Party, Patricia has challenged us to use stripes on our project.  This was a fun card and I also tried my hand at stitching on this card.

Here is my project...

I'm quite happy how this turned out!  Head on over to the Crazy Party and link up your striped project.  Thanks for stopping by!

Warm and cozy!

This week it is Avril's turn to challenge the Party-ers and she has chosen something warm!  For some reason my mind kept going to the recent months and how we all kept warm during the past winter season.  So while we are happy we've turned the corner toward Spring, my card is a homage to the winter past with snowflakes and warm, woolen mittens.

Here is my card...

Not to mention I have a head start on my Christmas cards for this coming year!  Thanks for stopping by ... head on over to the Crazy Card Party and see how the others are keeping warm!

Another one of my favourite things....

Hi everyone.. this week, Sharon has asked us to use our favourite die.  The card I made used a new die set so I'm not certain I could say it is my 'favourite'.  Although the Sizzix leaves die does get a fair bit of work out on my projects - both cards and layouts.  Along with the gold embossing, I also added some gold embellishing on the leaves using a Wink of Stella pen.

Here's my card....

Thanks for stopping by... head on over to our Crazy Card Party to see the other favourite dies.

Is it Spring yet?

This week it is Rosanne's turn to challenge the Party-ers!  She chose Botanical.. perhaps she is hoping for an early Spring or at least a glimpse of some grass!  The weather is forecasting 'warmer' temps next week so here's hoping!!

Here's my card....

As usual, this was inspired from a card I saw on Pinterest.  The white flowers are embossed and I fussy-cut the flowers, on advice from my party friends.

Thanks for stopping by and keep thinking Spring!  And take a look at what the other Party-er's have come up with!
