April Showers

Today I have a pretty simple card using up a few things laying around
like an embossing folder yet to be put away,
a die doily I rejected for something else,
a scrap of paper and an April Showers ephemera.
I put it all together for



Here is my card.


So, what are YOU working on today?
I am sorting thru a few things in my creative room,
found some fun and interesting things
but basically have my cutting table all nicely cleaned and set up
as I had purchased a laminator and needed room for it...toys!!
Now to continue, it needs a major going thru, but no time for that now....
Have a wonderful weekend
 and we set our clocks to 'Spring Forward" tonight..so will lose and hour!

So very beautiful with all those layers and fantastic spring colors. I like that sentiment too and say it a lot when the April rains fall.

WOW! This worked out beautifully! Isn't it fun to create with what we have laying around! I've been doing a lot of that lately! LOL (obviously I need to clean up a little more often! lol)

The best word for this card is simply sweet. I love all the elements, they work so perfectly together. The texture in the background and the gingham border are perfect with the little flowers. I LOVE this!

I love how you put this all together with your spare parts! It really helped you clean up your table. Well, maybe it only helped a little bit, but every little bit matters. Pretty with the stitched curve and doily and ephemera and embossing. I love my laminator! I used it a lot for recipe pages I designed with clip art on the computer, and still use it for bookmarks. It's a cold laminator. Works like a charm. What am I working on today? Well, hopefully I'll photograph a couple of finished cards and then start coloring some more new stamps from my recent shopping spree. This time change... I don't like losing an hour, but I'll enjoy our after dinner walk while it's still light outside.
