Hello friends, crafters and followers. I heard again today that the north and northeast had more snow. I can't believe how bad the weather has been for a lot of the US this year. I feel guilty having such great weather in Southern CA. I wish everyone could have our weather. Wouldn't that be nice.
You have one more week to create something to enter Digi Stamps 4 Joy Challenge 90 - Easter or Spring. That one should be an easy one for all of you. I used the image DS4J Welcome Home for my card. I loved this birdhouse and flowers the minute I saw it. I cut a little bird from my Cricut Artiste Cartridge to sit on the limb; coming out of the birdhouse. What good is a birdhouse without a bird? LOL!
I used my favorite CTMH paper; which is Ivy Lane. I have been stocking up on this one; so I will have plenty in the future. LOL! In the past; I would only buy one or two packs of the paper I really liked. I finally realized they sell out sometimes; or I didn't get around to ordering them on time before the Idea book expires. I order more and stock up now; so that doesn't happen to me. I love the variety of papers in all of our paper packs.
Twisted Easel card.
The true colors are different shades of pink, green and deep purple.
