Think Spring

I am soooooooooo wanting the cold to go away and Spring to get here. It has been a cold and brutal winter here in Michigan, and I think everyone agrees we have had it!! It is very windy out today and it is to warm up to about 42, for us, that will be like summer compared to the below zero and sub zero temps we have had for months!

So, with all that being said, as I am working on new cards and projects to post, I decided I would share a photo from my garden last year of one of my very favorite flowers Verbascum. I don't much care for the plant itself, but the flower more than makes up for it. The ones I have planted, have a vintage look to them that I just love. I have them in about 3 colors and am forever searching for new varieties! Enjoy.....hopefully Spring will be here soon!

Birdie In a Peach Tree

I bought a new acrylic stamp set from Inkadinkadoo on Saturday called "inchies". I have been wanting to try these little stamps and JoAnn's had them on sale for 40% off, so it was a good time to purchase them! Only thing is, they had several sets and it was hard to choose which ones to get! I used my Stampin'Up! "Stampin Spots" in the earth elements set. I love these little inks for the acrylic stamps, they just go on so great!'

The tree stamp (Hampton Arts)is one I got last summer at a garage sale, can you believe someone would get rid of such a neat tree??? I am glad they did though, and it was only $2! I know it is suspose to be an apple tree, but I turned it into a peach tree!

Just a practice card really, using scraps mostly. I like the SU cardstocks I used, Blush Blossom, Bashful Blue (my favorite) and Kiwi Kiss!

I have other things to post, but some can't until after my SU workshop on Sunday, I don't want anyone at the workshop to see them until then. I am working on a couple of challenges, working with my new Shimmerz, and I have a new Flip Book I am hoping to get done and posted sometime today!

Snow Coming Off Barn Porch Roof

The snow came creeping off the roof of the porch on the barn this morning. The roof is metal, and we thought this was quite unusual!
