A take on Nature's Symphony

Sharing a card from my friend and Silver Sister Lisa Henderson from our group swap. This one feature's the Nature's Symphony Bundle which is in our January to April Mini catalogue. A gorgeous large leaf stamp with coordinating dies and this lovely greeting with a fun fold opening to boot! Thanks, Lisa!

Valentine's Treat Holders for Sorority

I had some fun this week making sweet valentine's treat holders. These hold 3 of the thin rectangular Merci chocolates and a gift card. There was a special reason for that: in my Sorority we exchange $25 gift cards at our first meeting in February - sort of a valentine's themed exchange. Not specifically with our secret sister for the year but instead we pass them around the circle as we read a "left-right" game or story and when the story is over, you keep the gift card in your hand. Everyone usually participates but it's optional. I thought these would be perfect to hold our gift cards so no one will keep track of which ones are where!

Spectacular Purple Caterpillar

Ever seen a purple caterpillar? I suppose they come in all sorts of colours and no exception with this stinkin' cute patterned paper: Cute as a Bug! I think my grandson will love this one as purple is his favourite colour these days. Today's card allowed me to use both a large print pattern with lots of white space around and a smaller print one with the flowers all o the same card. To coordinate with the caterpillar, I stamped the words in Gorgeous Grape. Turned out spectacularly!

Celebrating Valentines, Palentines and Galentines Day

One of my cards in an attempt to really stretch the "Valentine" theme of the Made with Love Suite to Anniversary and wedding cards. I think I'll try this with other colours as well. The dotted hearts folder adds so much to the feel of this card.

Remember that Valentine's Day is also "Galentine's" Day and "Palentine's" Day! The latter is the theme of our office potluck on Wednesday, February 11 as we gather to celebrate our friendships in the department in advance of the Family Day long weekend.

Sweet Woolly Friends

Be still my heart....this woolly creature is a treasure! Thinking great for Easter, spring, kids cards - what about you? The stamp set has 18 stamps from greetings to flowers and various accoutrements for the two sheep images. And a coordinating punch. Now that's something I can get behind! I'm really drawn to these swirly butterflies as well. Enjoy!
