Yellow Rose Creation



The circle cut out of the front was used on the inside as well. No waste! And I always cut from the insides of all mattings too for the accents on my cards or pages. It is hidden anyway....less weight to card and saves $.
The Spellbinders rose die was inked on the edges and scrunched to add dimension. The foliage is a Memory Box die.   I JUST preordered their NEW summer dies Tues. and they will arrive about June 1st. We love love love Memory Box dies at PT.

More Bluebirds


I had a left over image so just changed the design and made a card for sale. On this one I used a Fiskars border punch but still added a cute bird diecut to the inside to carry the theme through.

Be sure to check out our June classes at Picture This. We will be doing a whole month of "Pinspiring Classes"  Classes inspired from Pinterest.

Susan Louise Acetates



We were lucky enough to have the actual artist (from Madison area) come teach a class at PT with her acetates and paper pics.  Very great class and very happy to support a local artist. She does the artwork and then its put on acetates and a special paper for us then to use and enjoy on our projects.

I used her bluebirds in one of my classes recently. An opening was cut using the Spellbinders oval and the acetate with the image was tucked behind.  Then I added my spin on things with pumches and more dies. Poof! A beautiful card.

With Sympathy



Today we lay to rest my step-grandpa. He was a decorated war hero and a very nice man.
Sadly we have had way too many deaths in our family already this year.
This card is using Cheery Lynn rose dies and more , Spellbinders oval die and I just scrunched them.

Just a Note


I've been on a kick with bright and cheery cards for a couple months. We had such a long winter this year in WI and so I am just gravitating toward the bright flowery designs.
This is using a cheery lynn stacker flower and Spellbinders foliage die. And just a thin strip on the inside with another flower completes it.

Kitty in Window


Good morning!!
This card was a hit in class the other night....they loved the color combos. (I just love the cats)
I had seen on stampingwithloll blog the dotting flower centers with a white gel pen and really liked how it looked so that was implemented into this card.
Lots and lots of product was used on this card some of which were Cheery Lynn dies, MS punches and Impression Obsession cat dies.

Sweet William

This card was made with all dies and card stock. Easy peasy! The chevron is MFT. The flower is Cheery Lynn. I added color to the tips using PanPastel.
