Sorry to keep you waiting!

Hi guys! I am so sorry for not popping in for 3 days! On Friday, I had to go and have a crown put on the root canal from last week. I was trying to wait until our new insurance kicks in but the tooth broke and it was a must all of a sudden. Then yesterday, I was lucky enough to attend a stamping show so I went and decided to just do my blog last night. Well, I was just pooped so it was early to bed for me. Here I am, with the card I have had on my desk for days now. I hope you like it!
And a side shot...
This was a super simple card but does not look especially simple so IMO, you get a lot of bang for your buck. We all have times we have to hurry a card, right? I used the oldie but goodie Season of Friendship to stamp the tree in Pear Pizazz and Crumb Cake. Then, I used my Small Heart Punch to cut 10 hearts out of Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette CS. They are added and topped off with tiny pearls from the Basic Jewel Pearls set. The sentiment is from the new Level 2 Hostess set called Something to Celebrate which I LOVE. This set is featured in the new Occasions Mini Catalog. This is a set worth trying to earn, It includes 9 all occasion and spring holiday sentiments. This will now be my go-to set for spring cards. I punched the sentiment with the Modern Label punch and then trimmed the next outer layer by hand.

I think that sums it up. Short and sweet! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Spring is in the Air

Hello! Hope your weekend is shaping up to be fabulous! Mine will be busy, as usual, but that's pretty normal around here. Before I head out for the day, I want to share a card with you. I have spring on the brain. I am ready for the warm and sunshine to be here. My daffodils are blooming and I want everything to be green again. So, in honor of that wonderful time of year, here is my card for today!

I used SU's Season of Friendship for my tree and leaves but printed my own sentiment rather than use the one included with the set. For flowers, I stitched on coral colored buttons with brown MM Stitches. Sometimes a simple sketch like this is just what I want to make and I love how it looks when I am done. I think the techniques for this card are pretty easy to figure out but if you have any questions, drop me a line. Thanks for stopping by!
