Time for Some Spring Cleaning!

The last couple of days have been typical spring days;
Snow, Sleet and Rain!!

So, because it was too wet and cold to do anything outside, I made some cards, sorted my cards and made some changes to my blog. One of which was to get rid of the snow photos and get some spring color in it.

Any cards that you see on my blog are for sale. If you are interested in any of them, please email me. All cards come with a decorated envelope and will be sent to you in a padded envelope. I am selling them for $2.00 a piece. I use only Stampin' Up cardstock and ink so you know that they are good quality.

Isn't this a pretty card!! It will be perfect for a Birthday or a Thank You card.

It's Spring!!!! FINALLY!!

I bet you are wondering, "Where have you been?!!" Well, to tell you the truth, I've been on vacation, back from vacation, trying to catch up, napping, cleaning house, baking cookies, enjoying the spring weather.

But I have some cards to show you that I made today. I realized that April is a very busy month for birthdays and anniversaries. This first card I made for my son who will be 25 on Thursday. Holy smokes, where has the time went!! Only yesterday he was just this cute little kid.


Recipe:
Stamp Set: Stampin' Up Retired Angler stamp set, For a Friend. Cardstock: Always Artichoke & Bravo Burgandy. Ink: Chocolate Chip.


I stamped the fish in Versamark and embossed with Glassy Glaze and attached with a silver "o" ring.





This birthday card is for my husband's brother. I am thinking of going with a funny sentiment for the inside. Something like, "Another Brithday and you're still in great shape! Proves clean living is over rated, doesn't it?!"
