Fab Friday Challenge #58

It looks like we are headed for a heat wave today.  They're saying it's going to be 41 degrees.  The downside is it's going to snow again.  I can't complain as we have not had what I would call a typical Iowa winter although we have had plenty of bitter cold.  Lately, I've been making a lot of cards with flowers.  I'm thinking that's telling me I'm more than ready for Spring.

I love this new Petal Potpourri Stamp Set and the Flower Medallion Punch.  You can find them both in the 2015 Occasions Catalog.  I think I should have added a couple of more leaf stems, don't you?  You have to admit that it's a bright one! 

Stamp Set:  Petal Potpourri; Inks:  Pool Party; Card Stock:  All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack, Island Indigo, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi; Accessories & Tools:  Flower Medallion Punch, Bird Builder Punch, Pearl Basic Jewels, SNAIL Adhesive, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

The sketch I used is from the Fab Friday Challenge Blog.

Petal Potpourri Birthday

Today is the first time I've had a chance to play with some of my new stamps that came in my order this week.  I fell in love with the Petal Potpourri Stamp Set and the new Flower Medallion Punch in the Occasions Catalog and just had to have them.

The weather here has turned cold again so I spent most of my day in the craft studio making pretty cards.  There is nothing like a flower to make one think of Spring; a most welcome thought!  It also made for a very pretty birthday card, don't you think?

Stamp Sets:  Butterfly Basics (sentiment), Petal Potpourri (flower); Inks:  Smoky Slate (sentiment), Strawberry Slush (flower); Card Stock:  Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Flower Medallion Punch, Pearl Basic Jewels, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive
