Spring

Spring Tulips

I know it’s technically Spring, but sadly the weather here in Washington hasn’t reflected the season change. We had a couple of days with sunshine a while back, but now it seems to be all rain and we even had some hail here over the weekend. I am so ready for more sunshine- this dreary weather is just not fun anymore. If I could transplant my family, friends and job to another state, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

Since the sun hasn’t been shining lately, I thought I’d bring a little sunshine to the blog today. After all, we could all use a little more sunshine in our day, right?

The current Product Spotlight over on the DeNami blog is the Elegant Oval Frame. What does that mean? It’s 10% off until Wednesday! I LOVE this stamp so much, it was so hard for me to put it down so I could move onto other projects. If you didn’t get to see the post where the DT created items using it, click here.

I hope that you all get a little sunshine today. I’ll see you tomorrow for the 10 Minute Craft Dash #15 Highlights post. I went through all of the entries and left comments and boy, this one is definitely going to be a tough decision. So thankful I have helpers to help me make the final decision! Thank you to everyone who took the time to play along and share their talents!

Springtime Flowers

You all know how to bring a smile to my face. I seriously love reading the blog posts that are submitted for the 10 Minute Craft Dash. Hearing the behind-the-scenes stories is my favorite part about the challenge. There have been quite a few posts where I have literally laughed at loud- you all make me feel like I’m right there with you! If you ever have a funny story that has to do with my challenge, feel free to blog it!

There are two more days in the 10 Minute Craft Dash #10 and I have one last card to share using this color palette. I must say that seeing all of the beautiful entries definitely inspired me for this card. I wanted to push myself and decided to stamp my own patterned paper within the time limit. My life saver? Colored ink pads!

Sweet Birdhouses

I just came from leaving comments on the latest 10 Minute Craft Dash #10 entries. I am so excited to see many new names already popping up for this challenge. It’s a dream of mine to bring together creativity and people from all across the globe and I’m thrilled that my challenge is doing this. If you haven’t entered this challenge yet, don’t worry, you have until Saturday!

Since I love these colors so much, I wanted to play with them again. I pulled out my Wplus9 sets, Folk Art Florals and The Birds & The Bees. Both must-haves in my book!

This color combination is so fresh and versatile. Since I created a Valentine’s card last time, I thought I would go for an everyday card this time around. This year I’ve been trying to be better about sending out cards to friends, so stocking up on my everyday cards has been helpful.
