 I love these sweet images- I used  "Everything Is Coming Up Roses" 
  ( Stampabilities HMJR1074 )
 Yellow and peach roses remind me of my Mother- she was a master gardener and had beautiful roses in her garden. 
 I used Copics to color the image, a digital sentiment and I embossed with a folder from Spellbinders.  The lacy floral die cut is Dies are Us. (Who have gone out  business).

I'm Back! Teapot Tuesday for Sharon

We went on a trip to celebrate my husband's retirement and his 65th Birthday!  We are beginning he next chapter!

I wanted to post this 'card kit' I made for my friend Sharon- she had a big shoulder surgery, so we had a Teapot Party for her over at Splitcoaststampers. 



 The kit idea is to make a card, and include 'ingredients' for Sharon to make a card.
I used a SU embossing folder and rubbed Turquoise ink over the top.  The piece I put in Sharons kit had the ink rubbed onto the embossing folder itself- so similar but not exactly the same. 
Next, I colored up a bluebird image by Northwoods and matted it. The Thinking of you is die cut from North Coast Creations. There is another embossing folder used for the sentiment. 
 I included a couple more die cuts for Sharon to have on hand for later, as well as some sentiments. 

Wahoo- I have work to do here, so I had better get on the ball!

Stash buster

Cleaning out my stash, I found a beautiful card kit Darlene sent me 5 years ago.  We were in a swap group over at Splitcoaststampers  There were beautiful DP, Butterfly images, ribbons, gems- such a lovely collection.  Well, while visiting a friend, Sharon, I challenged us to use this kit and create cards.  We had a great time and were very productive!


This is my first card.  I so love butterflies, especially Monarchs!  I used the Alpha prompts for H for this card= and the DP has Green and Golds- bingo!


I love butterflies and birds. This was my friend Sharon's stamp....!  I loved it and wanted to use it for a card. I read the teapot recipient (A Splitcoast challenge)  loves bluebirds, etc....  but after the fact, I re-read and we were supposed to make nautical cards.  Doesn't this look Nautical to you???  LOL
My friend, Sharon created 3 cards- all beautiful from the kit.


We went letterboxing together before a snowstorm with gusty winds hit- and it was `8 when we headed out!  But it was such a fun and warm welcoming visit!

Use your stuff and Alpha I

I created for the Unused no more challenge, and combined the Alpha I challenge too- I used Inchies and added words Ivy and insect : )  aka Butterflies.



 I bought a box of cards and envelopes by Paper Studio on a close-out sale, and cut the cards and use them as DP.  There are three of the DP's here- including the butterflies. 
 The sentiment strip in by Ranger.

There are several of us in this group, but these are the ones that have blogs if you'd like to check out their Unused No More cards/projects:
