Spring Wreath

 I am really surprised on how pretty the dimensional stickers are at the Dollar store, I thought they would be pretty on a wreath and I was right :)

I have been awfully busy again, haven't even had time to make my cards that I need to get done for birthdays and I need to get my Christmas cards done for this month also, which I have started on, but none are finished.  I will be visiting blogs as I find time, I do appreciate your stopping by,

Thank you

 My sister sent a large balloon bouquet for my birthday in March and she had such a run around with the company that was supposed to deliver them, I got them a few days after my birthday.  But most of all I wanted to thank her for being a fabulous sister.  She is so thoughtful, caring and loving. Always wanting to help and be a great encourager.  I am the closet with her then all my siblings and I am so thankful for the special relationship we have.  We need to remind those that we are close to and love so much how much we appreciate that they are in our lives.

• 49 and Market - Vintage Artistry Natural mini collection paper
• Carta Bella - Flora Ephemera
• PPD - Stitched Curvy Coved Rectangles die
• Carta Bella - Flora Ephemera
• Butterfly die
• Queen & co. - Blue Jelly gems

I added those leaf rub ons in the bottom right corner and then topped them off with a butterfly die cut and a little gem.  The sentiment panel needed something extra so it would stand out from the background so I added a die cut piece under it.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Spring Garden

 Our cardmaking group had a card exchange and so I decided to play along, I went with a spring theme and I hadn't used my step card die for quite some time so I thought it was time to break it out. I love the arbor with the flowers blooming over it.

I took a top view since you couldn't see the tiny flowers on the step area of the card.

The little birdie is a wooden bird, I just added a little ink to him, and a little bush he could sit on. I shaped the little flowers with a foam mat and my stylus and added stickles to the center. Colored the planter and bush with markers.

• Sizzix - Card Basics Step ups die
• Taylored Expressons - Garden Arbor & Gate, Arbor Accessories and Door to door decor dies
• Fiskars - Grass punch
• Tim Holtz - Small talk sentiment sticker
• Recollections - Wooden bird w/inking
• Stickles - Scattered straw (flower centers)

I usually try to wait to write in them after my picture taking but forgot this time. I also forgot to write down the paper I used.

I would like to share my card with the Four Seasons Challenge Spring

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
