Friend Flowers






(stamps: Papertrey Ink Doodlie-do, Sweet 'n Sassy New Beginnings dies:Winnie & Walter In a Word Friend Cutaway,Papertrey Ink Doodlie-do,Sweet 'n Sassy New Beginnings)



When I started this clean and layered card~I began with this inspirational photo.

I focused on the white flowers, blue vase and orange butterfly.

After trying to make the focal panel work on a neutral base, I went with a colorful dotted cardbase.


I have a friend who could use a bright, happy card right about now.
 






Thank you for stopping in, friends!

Zappy Background




I finally picked up Zappy Birthday!



I've coveted it for some time now.
 


(stamps: Papertrey Ink Zappy Birthday  dies:Papertrey Ink Zappy Birthday/Tag Sale #5)


I participated in MIM by stamping a pattern with the dotted "zap" behind a die cut window.

Bumpy washi is fun for texture~





it's got circles AND it's metallic!!!

I already got one "stamp" (ha!) of approval from my daughter who caught a view of this card.

She said "Ooooh, I love superhero fonts like that!!!".


YAYY!! 


Too bad her bday is in March.


I hope I remember.


Thanks for stopping by~

Spring Trees




This is literally how our trees look at the moment~tiny blossoms here and there.

Realistically speaking, they sit on bare branches.


But I can do what I want ;).



(dies:My Favorite Things Tree-mendous)




I used sequins to imitate the swirling butterflies hovering over a white face (Time Out's inspirational photo).

Create Along With Us April 2017





Well somebody stepped it up with embossing!


(stamps:Papertrey Ink Doodlie-do/Boutique Borders Sympathy  dies:Papertrey Ink Tag Sale #5/Valentine Pin-Ups strip)



Are you proud?

I sure am~I don't know why I don't do this more often!


I was inspired by the challenge at 


Create Along With Us April 2017.



Nichole Heady's red and blue double tag project for  
April 2017 Release:Day Two had me smitten.





I started with reds and blues and double tagged it.

Then I ended up creating a card too.

It might be because I'm wearing pajama pants.

I haven't had the luxury to do so all week.

 I'm not worried about getting embossing powder on me, so I went for it!

 I should probably keep embossing while I have the day to do so~

thanks for stopping by today.
