MOM

Wow, it was a beautiful weekend around here this past weekend!   I sure hope it's a sign that spring is finally here! We got a lot of yard work done and even got some of the "early" vegetables planted in the garden.  Woohoo!!!

In the midst of making items for the upcoming vendor/craft shows, I've been working on Mother's Day cards for the store in town that carries my card.  The local merchants are having a special event in 2 weeks and the want to have have a good supply of Mother's Day cards on hand.  So, this week, I'm sharing some of the cards I've made for them.

First up is an eclipse card I made with the stunning new Designer Series Paper, Share What You Love.  Much more coming up about that next week...you won't want to miss it!  But for now, here's my card.

And do you see the backing cardstock?  Yep, that's one of the new InColors for 2018-2020,  Grapefruit Grove!  More coming on them as well!!!!

Swap - Returning Stamp Sets Day 1

Hello Stampers,

Earlier this summer, I participated in several swaps.  I've saved the cards to share with you while I am "away".  This first group is from a "Returning Stamp Set" swap.  I tried to pick primarily those sets that I don't have - or haven't used much!

Thanks to all the swappers for sharing their creativity!  If you have any questions about any of these cards, let me know.  I may be delayed in my response, but I will get back to you!!!
