A Whimsical Garden - March '19

It's the last day of the month and time for this month's post for The 12 kits of Occasions! 

I know I say this every month, but wow is time every going fast!

Our hostess this month is Lisa Elton, My Paper Tales, and she sent us the most delightful kit full of just what we all need---some springtime goodness! Lisa sent us all the most beautiful patterned papers to work with along with so many lovely stamps and die cuts, most of which I have never seen before. Thank you Lisa for the lovely kit and thank you to our resident photographer Lindsey for taking our kit photo for us again this month!

Lisa is giving away two mini kits this month on so make sure you stop by the 12 Kits of Occasions blog to find out the details of how you can you can have a chance to win!

I was able to make 4 cards this month but I have lots left over to make a couple more cards. I saved a few pieces because I wanted to see what everyone else did with them first. This is what I made...













...here they are all together!





I am submitting all of my cards to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog - Anything Goes!

Happy Friday!

There is still time to play along with Tag You're It Challenge #83!

Tag You're It designer Kara Lynne Pogreba chose the inspiration for this challenge and I went with the fun, flirty dress and the polka dots for my card design!

I stamp and coloured the Ellen Hutson Beach Lady and then added white polka dots to her dress with a white gel pen

Easter Joy

Hi there and Happy Tuesday!

I am up on the A Jillian Vance Design blog for my Tuesday feature post. I created a sweet card for Easter, the first card I have made this year! Stretch your mind with your supplies, I used stamps and dies today that were not meant for Easter to create my scene.

Pop over to A Jillian Vance Design to see what I used to create this Easter scene!

St. Patrick's Day | for Birch Press Design

Hi there, today I have a card over on the Birch Press Design blog for St. Patrick's Day which is this coming weekend. After what has been a VERY long, cold and snowy winter I feel that St. Patrick's Day is a hint that springtime is coming.

This past weekend I was away at a stamping retreat and when I came home the snow had gone down about 4" from when I left. Great news but while I was sleeping and during the day on Monday 6 more inches fell!!! So I could use a little Luck of the Irish and maybe the temperatures will warm up and the snow will melt!




Hope you pop over to the Birch Press Design blog and have a closer look st this 4 bar card I created for today!

Celebrate Balloons

Hi there and Happy Tuesday!

I am up on the A Jillian Vance Design blog for my Tuesday feature post. I used balloon dies and coloured cardstock. I hope to see you over there so you can see what I used to create a fun and festive birthday card suitable for all ages!

Thanks so much for stopping in today!

Need a Hug

Happy Tuesday, I am up on the A Jillian Vance Design blog for my Tuesday feature post.

Pretty Poppy - Concord & 9th Guest Design

Happy Friday!

I am here today with my last post as the February Guest Designer at Concord & 9th!
Today for the Feature Friday post we are sharing projects created with the Pretty Poppy stamps and the Pretty Poppy dies.

This first card was created with the Pretty Poppy die set. The details these dies make are so beautiful. The sentiment is from the Floral Prints Silhouette stamp set.
