Lovin' The Sunshine

Today has been the perfect spring day! Yesterday it was cold, wet, and snowing with no accumulation to speak of, but cold nonetheless! What is going on with the weather this year? Oh yeah, global warming. lol Anyways, since it was bright and sunny, and Cam is finally feeling better I was inspired to play with my new stamps today and this is what I came up with! The set I used today is by Papertrey Ink (PTI) and it is called "Everyday Button Bits" I have loved this set since I first started seeing cards made with it, and I know I will be going back to it over and over again. I used Stampin' Up! Real Red Card stock, and ink, and the cherry stem was stamped in SU Green Galore. I'm not crazy about Green Galore, and wish we had a better shade of green but, it works. The DSP is from the SU Hostess pack from a few years ago. And I used my Janome to sew around the square. The white square was made using my Labels 1 Nestabilities. This was a fun, and easy card to make, and after my last card that took me a few days it was nice to make something more simple, that didn't take so long. I guess I don't really have a particular style, or brand of card making I can do easy, and I can do several layers. I think it is a good thing if you can do both. Anyways, I am always grateful and happy to read your comments, and I thank you for visiting my blog today!

This winter seems to be lasting FOREVER and I don't know about you guys, but I don't remember ever wanting Spring to get here as fast as possible as I do this year. We have not gotten loads of snow, but it has been so darn cold. Thankfully this weekend is supposed to be WONderful and I am super duper excited! For todays card I used Dp from the DCWV Sweet stack. I also used the Labels 1 nestability that I cut in half (almost) and the stamps are Paper Trey's special edition set "Simple Little Things", and SU's "Make it Count". This card was not made off of any specific sketch or card. I usually make cards from my own mind (a scary place) but don't get me wrong sketches are a great way to let someone else take care of the layout so that you can spend more time with the color's and embellies, which for me are the funnest part of card making! I would probably get a lot more cards made if I used sketches more often. hehe The colors in my card are Baja Blue, Kraft, and GP White. I hope that all of you are enjoying this warm weather as much as I am! if it isn't warm where you are I hope it warms up soon. Take Care and Thank you for visiting my blog today!
