Hello Again!!

Well, hello everyone, I'm back from a stamping hiatus!! Not by choice though, the flu bug found me and took over just about everything in my life! I don't usually get the flu, if anything I get a mild cold and then I'm done. Humph, not this Spring. Its taken me 3 weeks to get over being sick, I finally felt close to normal on Monday, so here's hoping this cough finally disappears and I'll be back to my old energenic self in no time. 

We are beginning to enjoy Spring here in Alberta. The weather's been fantastic lately, the snow is mostly gone and I keep looking within the rocks and grass, waiting for the first few plants to start poking through. What better time than the present to make a Spring like card? :)
Today's card share uses the beautiful (almost retired!!) Sprintime Vintage dsp, along with Rose Red and Very Vanilla cardstocks. The leaves were stamped with the Build a Blossom stamp set, then punched with the Blossom Petals Punch.  The "ribbon" along the bottom was punched with the Ribbon Punch.  I used "Oval All" for the sentiment, along with the oval punches.  I just love the large Rose Red  button in the center of the flower, I do think I'll be hoarding these buttons, they are SO pretty!

Thanks for dropping by and hope you have a great Thursday!

Serene Spring :-)

Hi Blogger Friends! We seemed to dodge the snow yesterday, thank goodness! And today its beautiful, melting & starting to smell like spring out there, but I'm certainly not holding my breath on that one! :-)

I've used last years Hostess Set "Serene Spring" on this card creation. I really enjoy watercolouring the imgages in this set, and hope to post a card soon using the little bunny. I don't usually send alot of Easter cards but I think I will this year. My Aunt, who is 70, just loves to receive cards from us and is always surprised someone remembered her. That, in itself, should be enough to keep me sending cards to friends & family like her. :-)
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
Debbie
