My Minds Eye "Spring Has Sprung" Card

Hello again, 

It's so good to be back on this beautiful spring day!  It's been raining here in my neck of the woods for the last week, but not today!   The sun is back, and it's so beautiful outside.  Maybe I'll head outdoors today and spend some time working on my wannabe garden, maybe...

or I'll just stay in my craft room making spring cards, like this one. 

Once again I've used My Minds Eye paper from the "mother's love" paper line. It's the same paper line that I used on this card.   I've also used an American Crafts, Spring has Sprung sticker. 

This spring card was so quick and simple to put together.  I'm learning lately that sometimes simple is better.  I tend to crowd my cards and my life with too much.  There is something to be said for simplicity. :) 

To finish off my "Spring has Sprung" card, I've added some machine stitching and a punched butterfly.  All done! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! 

Blessings,

Spring Is In the Air!

Happy Monday!  

Okay, I'm sorry... I know I sound way to chipper for a Monday. I can't help it, everything outside is screaming "spring"!  Can I just say how happy the spring season makes me. I love to hear the birds outside my window, view the beauty of the blooming trees.  I get so excited when I witness my tulips peek their faces through the ground.   Everything about this pretty season brings my mind to thoughts of my creator, and the new life that is found only in Christ. What a perfect reason to rejoice! 

  I also seem to spend more time crafting in the spring, all of this beauty just gets my creative juices flowing, I made this card over the weekend.

I first embossed the premade card using my Cuttle Bug machine to add some texture. I used paper from the MME "A Mothers Love" paper line, from which I fussy cut the flowers from. I added some Tim Holtz distress glitter and some Recollections beads to the centers of the flowers. I also added a square of fabric, just for fun and added texture.  

I hope you're enjoying the Spring weather in your neck of the woods! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Very Girly Spring Card

Hello  y' all. My how time flies, I can't believe December was the last time I stopped by for a visit. Wow, I got tired of seeing the Christmas tickets at the top of the page, and thought it was time for a change. With the newness of spring and the changes of life, I thought it would be fitting for me to update the blog look too. I hope you like it, and find some inspiration here. 

Today I'm sharing a card I made for my niece Lupe, so girly and soft... 

I used so many products on this card: K and company chipboard letters, prima marketing flower, and beautiful definition tag, Websters pages bloomers flower, S.E.I. rose rub on, and Basic Grey paper. 

Here is a close up of the flower cluster. I cut out a bloom from the Websters pages bloomers ribbon and trimmed it down to size. Here is also a Prima marketing flower, Teresa Collins Tulle trim, and green glittered balls that I cut from a Christmas pick, just to add a little pop. :)

I hope the freshness of Spring is inspiring you to create something new.

Thank you so much for stopping by,
