Stamp-a-Faire 2018 Water Your Flowers

I'm not into water colors.However, after attending Betsy"s session Water Your Flowers at PTI's 2018 Stamp-a-Faire, I think I will dabble in this some more. In fact I even ordered the water color paper Betsy recommended (Bee at Amazon)
Despite being my first time, I am happy with my creation.

Stamp-A-Faire 2018

PTI's Stamp-a-Faire was a great experience. Dawn's project Planting Your Garden was the only project I was able to complete at the event.  Here's my copy of Dawn's card.  I do  love the leaf stencils. they are awesome!

Stamp-A-Faire 2018 Crafting a Felt Flower Wreath

Well, It took me several days after PTI's Stamp-a-Faire to finish my wreath. I just loved this. Making the flowers was so much fun. They do look beautiful.

 I bought the flower dies and can't wait to make more.

Make-It-Monday #332 Petite PatternPlay

    Just realized my grand niece is turning three in almost two weeks. I needed to make a quick card so I can get back on track for my granddaughters' party decorations. When I saw Lexi Daly's Make-It-Monday idea, I thought I'd give it a try.

I wasn't too happy with the color combination I picked: Berry Sorbet & Lovely Lady. I think the sentiment grounds the image.

Make-It Monday #331 Creating Mix Background Texture

     It's been awhile since my last post. I've been busy doing an on line scrapbook of my trip to Portugal & Spain. At this point I am only half done. In between, I'm making invitations and party decorations for my granddaughters' birthdays in August & September.

     However, when I saw this week's Make-It-Monday by Stephanie Gold, I knew I had to make time to play along. Surprise of all surprises, I've made it in time too.

     I really like how this card turned out. I need to remember this for future cards.

PTI Blog Hop: March 2018

Good afternoon. It is the 25th of the month. Time for PTI's Blog Hop.  This month's inspiration photo screams spring & Easter.

 Since my stash of stamps is devoid of tulips and birds, I decided to focus on Easter and use my stamps from the February release.

I decided to combine Bunny Blessings with Betsy's Seasonal Borders: Spring.  That stamp set is my favorite (currently). Can't wait to see the release for the other seasons.

Hope everyone has a great Spring and a Happy Easter.  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

PTI: Create With Us March 2018

  I think this is the first time I am playing along with PTI' Create along with us challenge.  I was inspired by the background and color combination of  Melissa's card.  Needless to say, I have  been working on this card for a number of days in between some other projects and I am just getting it submitted with a few hours to spare.

I used the quatrefoil cover plate to create my stencil.
I really wanted to use a different flower in the upper right hand corner.  However, I seemed to have misplaced my Floral Sketches Stamp set.
