Labels 10 by Spellbinders - S5-022

odd shape used for leaves - Hero Arts

Scallops made by Circle Cutter - Just Imagine/Kreations

Ribbon - Michaels

Cardstock- PopTones

Hope you enjoy the card

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon,



A Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone

Last night the time changed to Daylight Savings Time (DST). Not my favorite time of the year. It takes my internal clock about 2 weeks to readjust. But that means that spring is close. In fact it will be here next Sunday. And I am so looking forward to warmer weather.

I've made my first post at the Just Imagine/Kreations blog. You may want to go over there to check it out. In the meantime, here is a sneak peek.

I'm working on a couple of new ideas, so, I have to get back to work so I can show you what I am coming up with. Hope you have time to check out my post at the Just Imagine/Kreations blog.

Well that's it for today, thanks for stopping by and I will see you soon.

I'm Back ...........

I know, I know,  I've been missing in action. I went to visit a friend in Tennessee and had a blast. We got caught up on our lives, went shopping, went out to eat, met neighbors at a luncheon and then I showed Dianne some new things I have learned. So, now I am back, but I must have left my muse in Tennessee. I am having a hard time coming up with ideas. Bummer!!!!

I have Thank-You cards that need to get finished, so I am hoping that will bring my muse back home. On Sunday I will be posting my first post on the Just Imagine/Kreations blog so you will want to check out my post. By the way, have you looked at any of the posts there lately??? Well, the new DT members are showing off their ideas and they are fabulous, so make sure to check in at Just Imagine/Kreations for new ideas using their punches and circle maker and all the other cool tools they offer.

Its been raining here, and its the perfect time to go to my studio to finish those Thank You cards and get my project done for my Sunday post at Just Imagine/Kreations.

 I will be back to show you new pieces of inspiration. See you soon, thanks for stopping by.

March is National Craft Month

Hi Everyone,
I think my cold is finally just about gone. I am feeling pretty much like my normal self again.

Do  you believe it, today is March 1st. I am amazed, we have 2 months of 2011 under our belt already. The time just is clicking away isn't it. And March is National Craft month, so I plan on posting some great ideas for everyone.

No only is March a new month, it means I can share some exciting news that I've been itching to tell everyone. I have been selected as one of the new designers for the Just Imagine Crafts Kreations Design Team. Just Imagine Crafts Kreations has a great line of 4 in 1 punches and other products as well. Their punches are so versitle, you will get more than one look out of just one punch. How cool is that!!! You will get to see that in upcoming posts. I bought some punches from Just Imagine Crafts Kreations last summer, so, I have a few already in my punch collection. Can't wait to show some of the great looks you can get from just 1 punch.

I bought a stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. not too long ago (BB-764A Bella Fiori)  When I saw the set, the flowers were just calling my name so, I just had to buy this stamp set. Recently I needed to make a few Thank-You cards so I decided to use stamps from that Unity set. As I looked at the images I decided to watercolor the flowers and here is one of the cards I came up with. By the way, check out the corner on the watercolor paper, it reminds me of a tulip and looks so great with this tulip stamp. That corner was punched using a new punch I just received from Just Imagine Kreations.

Well, I am off to see a great friend in Tennessee for the rest of the week. I will try to post while away, so you may get to see what we are up to in Tennessee, so stay tuned!!

Well that is it for now, thanks for stopping by, see you soon,

Barbara
