Good morning, Friends! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! The next few days around here should be just gorgeous and we will definitely be seeing serious signs of spring! I am SO looking forward to that! And I certainly wouldn't mind if we saw some spring storms as we could still use a lot more moisture. That may come this weekend. Last night it was so weird talking with our son about his classes for next year. He is really looking forward to moving up and taking classes that will help him achieve High School credit! That is SO cool! I am glad that he has finally embraced what he can get out of school and that he can see how it can help him for his future! Yea!! I think it is going to be a real positive experience.
Today's card was inspired by the sketch challenge at Retro Sketches. I am also enjoying making these cute little shamrocks! I don't own any St. Patrick's Day stamps so I combine the greeting from Teeny Tiny wishes with the shamrocks and come up with something for St. Patrick's Day! And it's super easy!! So on a piece of Very Vanilla I adhered three strips of designer paper from the Print Poetry pack. The ends of these strips are flagged and I used the 3/4" circle punch to round the top right corner. I popped this up onto a card base of Very Vanilla. Then I stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in black StazOn and round the top right hand corner with the 3/4" circle punch. Then I used the Fashionable Hearts embosslit to cut three little hearts from Gumball Green card stock. I adhered these with glue dots to the panel and then added a gold brad. I used the Gumball Green marker to make a stem. This panel is then popped up onto the card. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good Sunday morning everyone! Well, today is definitely not as sunny as it was yesterday. Boo! Sounds like it is supposed to rain later this evening and into tomorrow. That part is good. I just miss the sun already. Yesterday, Nick's soccer team played a scrimmage and it felt so nice to sit outside in the sun. We all got a little sunburn, too!!! First one! He has another one this morning and it looks like we will need a jacket. Later this afternoon Nick plays in his last basketball game. He has really enjoyed that! His coach is looking into getting them playing in a few more tournaments but we will see. It's so hard to schedule more when other events are coming up, too. Nick will keep playing after school with his buddies, though! It has definitely been a fun season!
Today's card was inspired by one that Becky did in her card class last month. I used bigger hearts and all Stampin' Up! products. This is really super simple! I punched three hearts using the Full Heart punch from Lucky Limeade designer paper. Then I sponged them with Lucky Limeade ink. Then I used the Fashionable Hearts embosslit and cut three hearts from Always Artichoke. These are adhered to the bigger hearts. I adhered the hearts to a piece of Very Vanilla and then punched a hole for my antique brad. Then I took a Lucky Limeade marker and drew a stem. I stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in black StazOn and popped the panel up onto a card base of Very Vanilla. This card fits the Latenight Stampers weekly challenge to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
