Were In Full Bloom

.

Happy Memorial Day!

We are having a lovely spring day.

Everything is in bloom and smells so good.

Floral Card

.


I amaze myself sometimes how working with different products I get totally different results. I am liking the results I am getting from Tim Holtz and Sizzix products.

This card was made with the Tim Holtz tattered floral die.

The papers I used are from the Mariposa Stack by DCWV.

I used a florish stamp set to make the florishes. I don't remember the name of it.

Todays Snow Storm

I took some pictures of the snow storm where having today. Look at the size of these snowflakes.
I have never seen snow flakes this big before. This is what the song must of meant "It's A Marshmallow World In the Winter". It really does look like Marshmallows on the ground. We're having thunder too.
It's pretty but I want Spring!

Spring Luminary

I have always been fascinated with the luminaries people have been making.
So I thought I would give it a try. Here's my first Spring Luminary designed on my Gypsy.
I had a lot of fun designing it and putting it together. I think I'm going to try some more. :)

Where's Spring????

I'm sitting here in the middle of a blizzard wondering what happened to Spring? I had to take the pictures through the screen on the door. Because the door is frozen shut. Ugh! Oh well, I guess Mother Nature had other ideas for us today. In the mean time I'm going to craft. Hopefully we won't lose power too.
