Live your dream

 I decided to go through my dies and see what I haven't used in a long time and came across this one. If you are stuck for what card to make for someone, challenge yourself to use something that hasn't been used in awhile.


  • Memory Box - Debutante Frame and Orchard tree frame dies
  • RubberNecker stamps - Wide Terracotta pot die
  • D.R.S. design - Easy Grass background stamp
  • Taylored Expression - Flower box sprigs dies and Birch tree accents die (cardinal)
  • Tim Holtz - TH93193 Small talk sentiment
  • Stickles - Warn Lipstick
I colored everything with markers except the flowers and sprigs that were cut from pattern paper and cardstock.


I would like to share this post with the Dies R Us Challenge blog using Memory Box dies


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

Connie

This is so lovely! I have this die and I have not used in a long either. Your card is so "Springy."

Beautiful! A very uplifting scene you have created! Wonderful advice ... it would take me a month of Sundays to go through all of mine that haven't been used for awhile lol.

My goodness! I cannot even comprehend having the ability to work with all those gloriously tiny elements, and do it so beautifully, Connie! Darling scene! And yes, like you, I do love using my older stuff! huggers, de

Connie, this is so sweet. I have that tree frame but haven't used it in a long time. I love your pot of flowers and the pot turned on it's side. It makes it look like flowers were being planted and the plant in that pot had already been planted. I love your single bird on the branch. I hate to admit this but I just realized you had a blog. I hopped over to see your beautiful work. Thank you so much for all the support you give me with your lovely comments on my posts.

This is lovley! I have that die too, and Haven't used it in a long time. Great advice to get those dies out that haven't been used for a long time. I have many that would fit that "unused" or long time "not used" subject!

Your card is like a breath of fresh air, Connie! A pretty spring scene, for sure. I love the idea of pulling out the oldies!
