This past weekend was our Girls Get Away Weekend. What a fantastic time spent with wonderful women. We crafted, chatted, ate great food, laughed, supported and encouraged each other and had an amazing time together.
We made a side step card using the Forever Blossoms stamp set, and I had some alternate projects using the same supplies. Here is one of the alternate cards.
It is certainly no secret that I love flowers, and the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper gives us some lovely flower and greenery images. These are photographic images of pressed petals, and the other side has some great vintage designs.

This is one of my favourite In Colours, and I will be sad to see it go.

That’s right, it’s spring . . . well at least on the calendar!! This is the time of year where we do get some lovely sunshine and warmer days, letting us know we are past most of the winter, and warmer days are coming. Where I live we will still get some more snow, but I do love those warmer days we are treated to. My card today has a real spring feel to it with butterflies and flowers.

I love stamps that have detailed line art, they are so flexible. Normally I would look at this and think I should add colour to the image, but sometimes the simple beauty of line art can help you easily create a stunning card.

Some days it is really easy to create, while others seem to stump your creativity. I don’t know why or how this happens, but we all seem to experience it from time to time. I’m grateful on the days that I go to my craft studio and the ideas just flow like butter melting on hot toast! On days that have no toast, I call upon one of the many ways to jump start creativity.
