Yes, Virginia – We have snow! For the first time in the 8 years that I’ve lived in Virginia Beach, we had snow accumulation, & it was absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t wait to bring my grandbaby (aka The Baby Diva) outside to frolic in her first snow. She was so fascinated! I cannot tell you just how wonderful it was for me to share a first with her (Smile!)… I’m reminiscing many fun, snowy days, playing with my children when they were small…. (Sigh! Ahh, sweet memories….)

And now it’s time to “think Spring!” This pretty bunch of flowers has me looking forward to the wonderful colors and delightful fragrances of Spring. One of my flowers is hydrangeas. Their vibrant blue and lavender colors inspired the color combination of this charming little pot of flowers. An enchanting little “Thank You” card, don’t you think?



TTFN!

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves. So, whenever I have very small scraps of paper I punch them with my floral punches & store them in a box for future use. It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o

Spring Flutterings

I had to squeeze some "quiet time" in today, because I did not have anytime last week to do anything.  My 8 month old "Baby Diva" has kept me busy, as she is staying with me while her Mommy is out of town till Wednesday.  Fortunately, she is such a good baby.  She must have known I was feining for some crafting time, because she was so cooperative! I was kind of all over the place with this card.  It has a little bit of everything: Stamping, stitching, handmade flowers ( you know me & my handmade flowers!), border punches, and a pretty butterfly.   I wanted to try making a new flower.  The larger flower was created using an apple, star & daisy punches.  Each of the flower centers have a touch of bling by Viva Decor glitter pen in "Hologram."  The butterfly was cut from a Nesties die.  I blinged up each layer with stickles & hit with 2 coats of Crystal Effects.  I used Kaiser Craft pearls in "Bliss" for the body & coiled some
