Hello everyone!</div>
<div align="center">
I know its been quite some time since I've posted anything. I have had a lot going on this past month and some VERY exciting news to share in the near future. (More on that at another time)</div>
<div align="center">
Today I want to share with you the card class that I am having at Ink Paper Rubber this coming Thursday, June 4th at 10 am and 6pm. The cost is $30. </div>
<div align="center">
Jen has been awesome to work with and can I just say how much I love her store. She always has the best selection of stamps and dies, and the atmosphere in her shop is just wonderful!!</div>

Good Morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe May is so close? Where did April go?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past week has just been crazy busy. Right now I'm in St. Louis sitting in a hospital room with my Dad who had surgery. I don't know why, but it is completely exhausting sitting around and waiting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a Two Paper Diva card to share with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since Father's Day is just around the corner I made some Man Cards for a class I'm having. Creating masculine cards is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I managed to get it done.... with the help of Pinterest. Now that is a place where I can lose hours at a time if I let myself go there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This card is a simple, yet perfect card for that 'special guy' in your life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm06mIwAoUcKOUFb5dVaCNasUjEoKOh8bBl6M-NTfbahiZBtDmlpCI92vH3aeuKCGGyyHJOlnLL3QNGMkjIG7dP62GVPh7-04_rcUy_ZhfECGrGKhRIkXNPzf8KMsRr7tdUlJxC9jsDqFK/s1600/April+28th+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm06mIwAoUcKOUFb5dVaCNasUjEoKOh8bBl6M-NTfbahiZBtDmlpCI92vH3aeuKCGGyyHJOlnLL3QNGMkjIG7dP62GVPh7-04_rcUy_ZhfECGrGKhRIkXNPzf8KMsRr7tdUlJxC9jsDqFK/s1600/April+28th+watermark.jpg" height="320" width="260" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Man cards are hard for me because I like lots of layers and typically man cards don't call for that. So this card is relatively simple, but with some layering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/for-a-special-guy/">For a Special Guy</a> stamp set. Love that sentiment!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you have a wonderful week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hoping mine will get back to normal soon!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Morning Friends!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here with a Two Paper Diva's card to share with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDqfXWjOiP6SYHzFfv_vF1w8QSrpqgdxLcub5qZQqqaKaW4RVMePbqdgwv0QO5MoD_IvWxjgmi_E7HzyhnfePs5JY1FZdWxUjtYyuQzpssOWFBLXenirHUHbwi6ehcJCv8vqRK9DeDtRc3/s1600/april+20th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDqfXWjOiP6SYHzFfv_vF1w8QSrpqgdxLcub5qZQqqaKaW4RVMePbqdgwv0QO5MoD_IvWxjgmi_E7HzyhnfePs5JY1FZdWxUjtYyuQzpssOWFBLXenirHUHbwi6ehcJCv8vqRK9DeDtRc3/s1600/april+20th.jpg" height="265" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm just loving this card!! I've seen a few baby cards on Pinterest using a onesie. So, I thought I would give it a try too. And... what better to use than a clothesline!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the Diva stamp set that I used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="C154 Wanna Hang Out" class="attachment-shop_catalog wp-post-image" height="350" scale="0" src="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/wp-content/uploads/C154-Wanna-Hang-Out-246x350.jpg" width="246" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the clothesline poles, colored them with copics, cut them out and popped them off the card. I stamped the clothes line onto the card between the poles and hung the onesies from the line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is from <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/banners-1/">Banner's One</a> stamp set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't it cute??</div>

Good Morning!!</div>
<div align="center">
It's been a bit quiet on the blogging the last couple weeks.</div>
<div align="center">
Life has been a bit of a roller coaster lately and I have had lots going on - and I've just been holding on tight! </div>
<div align="center">
I have a Two Paper Diva card to share with you this morning.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card was so much fun to make! I embossed the background paper, stamped the bee hive on Kraft paper and cut it out. I stamped each of the bees on the paper where they were going to "bee" and then stamped them again on yellow paper, cut them out and popped them off the first stamped bee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/bee-happy/">Bee Happy</a> stamp set.</div>

<div align="center">
It's been a long and crazy couple of weeks with a lot going on in my neck of the woods. </div>
<div align="center">
I don't know about you but I'm sure ready for some warmer weather to come. Brad and I just got back from a Caribbean cruise and I sure enjoyed the long days and warm sun. It was a well needed break from the demands of life. </div>

Today was Palm Sunday and next week is Easter Sunday. My... how time flies these days. </div>

Good Morning Friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am here with a Prickley Pear Easter card. Considering that Easter is just a couple weeks away I thought I had better get busy getting some cards made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's card is bright and cheery with colors of yellow, green and purple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEz0nPZDxpoLOkw3o31_YGNj_n0AX1ofybwH93sIeMhURWgfeCHJa7Db47lum7sZwHYzmhgLvalbfPR-k_zGXgFCejvjTl72C6wN0ELTXt7bFFvk510tXNZo9WStDwvSM_Kv6zfBjAhtqu/s1600/march+23rd+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEz0nPZDxpoLOkw3o31_YGNj_n0AX1ofybwH93sIeMhURWgfeCHJa7Db47lum7sZwHYzmhgLvalbfPR-k_zGXgFCejvjTl72C6wN0ELTXt7bFFvk510tXNZo9WStDwvSM_Kv6zfBjAhtqu/s1600/march+23rd+watermark.jpg" height="318" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first stamped the image using Tim Holtz Distress Markers. Then I used a water color pen to blend the colors in the tulip and leaves. I added some additional color and "bling" to the flowers using Zig Wink of Stella glitter markers, which really brightened up the flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/easter-flowers-red-rubber-stamp/">GG0210 Easter Flowers - Red Rubber Stamp</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a beautiful stamp and just perfect for making a simply gorgeous card.</div>

Good Morning!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I would like to share a "Man Card" I made for Two Paper Diva's. I really struggle with making masculine cards so being on Two Paper Diva's design team pushes me beyond my comfort zone. But that is a good thing, because I tend to do the same thing - same style - over and over. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH6nSXk7w2SsSCz7TH600AcxWu-Mx99vUx3OaYBt_vhC4hStrrq2SPOWDRsayQKpqM99UJlGNdMQ1EUkNYYU-_3znJ3aL_2ufueLUKciiePOV1e1Gswa7YjwygEM2YCgU3s_SjbuRXR81D/s1600/march+17th+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH6nSXk7w2SsSCz7TH600AcxWu-Mx99vUx3OaYBt_vhC4hStrrq2SPOWDRsayQKpqM99UJlGNdMQ1EUkNYYU-_3znJ3aL_2ufueLUKciiePOV1e1Gswa7YjwygEM2YCgU3s_SjbuRXR81D/s1600/march+17th+watermark.jpg" height="249" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my idea using <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/for-a-special-guy/">For a Special Guy</a> stamp set. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the tie on three different patterned paper and then cut them out and popped them off the front of the card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it turned out wonderful - what do you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's perfect for that man in your life, whether it be a father, uncle, co-worker or boss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Diva's have a new release out and the stamps are just fabulous. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can check them out <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/shop/">Here</a>.</div>

Hello my friends!<br />
Today I want to share with you some really fun pictures I took at my last class. We made some vintage glittered Easter clay projects. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are the projects from the first class in Gardner. We really had so much fun doing these. I think the girls were proud of their creations!!<br />
Melissa finished first (imagine that!) and she had already left before I got the group picture. So here is her Easter Bunny.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can I just say.... Stinking Cute!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everyone's project turned out fantastic and we were almost giddy when we put them all together for the picture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh my.... aren't they sweet?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After class was over there was lots of talk about what paper clay project would be next. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you girls for making this class such a wonderfully fun time!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I truly enjoy sharing my passion with each and everyone of you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love you all!!</div>

Good Morning!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got my hands inky and had some fun creating these little tags for Two Paper Diva's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started out to just make one, but was having so much fun I made two more and could have kept going had the house, dinner and hubby not been calling my name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYnwg7KX_mrajaLRSqxyzNbVNjqBU77WIH_GwHb2s2WLXP93EC2a78NYVHgtHsYlCSjKIgKluUGBCULqqyJQoElB3qDJpcQ-p4lFLc020TuX9GmCRaDpZugUU3N6-cA8eRScEmqIit1rzm/s1600/March+10th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYnwg7KX_mrajaLRSqxyzNbVNjqBU77WIH_GwHb2s2WLXP93EC2a78NYVHgtHsYlCSjKIgKluUGBCULqqyJQoElB3qDJpcQ-p4lFLc020TuX9GmCRaDpZugUU3N6-cA8eRScEmqIit1rzm/s1600/March+10th.jpg" height="242" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have really missed getting messy and inky with mixed media.<br />
I can get lost for hours doing this. <br />
Like I said, I started out to make just one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYSIVV394V10BXXhEnqALMcukeDCzlHoyMoalcLaF5bEXswgBgJZOP-16V8JG_ZjoTJHrkunLJGKBwliMD36WK63fvdE3rnfwX3EZwNsj81xXpn7cdVlJf5rR8GVC7tbROO0jsEIqxy8tc/s1600/March+10th+3+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYSIVV394V10BXXhEnqALMcukeDCzlHoyMoalcLaF5bEXswgBgJZOP-16V8JG_ZjoTJHrkunLJGKBwliMD36WK63fvdE3rnfwX3EZwNsj81xXpn7cdVlJf5rR8GVC7tbROO0jsEIqxy8tc/s1600/March+10th+3+watermark.jpg" height="400" width="230" /></a></div>
This was the first tag. I used <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/sweet-blossom/">Sweet Blossoms</a> and the <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/you-are-my-reason-2/">You Are My Reason</a> stamp sets. I inked the tag with Tim Holtz inks and then stamped and drew some doodles. I then stamped the flowers on patterned paper and cut them out.<br />
Sweet!!<br />
Then I made this one!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDi90V-CXL1QoDApbqmzShyphenhyphenq_QH3PlaN9gM9O1Y_9IVktbuhJgHYjVzugLJ3CnRXBr_A3R1dJTAbtWkUx1kNGGrdbAaOJeZ7Hpy72bFh98PcmLeTEcYGHQ9H0jb_kKDlkoel2nTsVJAj5M/s1600/March+10th+2+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDi90V-CXL1QoDApbqmzShyphenhyphenq_QH3PlaN9gM9O1Y_9IVktbuhJgHYjVzugLJ3CnRXBr_A3R1dJTAbtWkUx1kNGGrdbAaOJeZ7Hpy72bFh98PcmLeTEcYGHQ9H0jb_kKDlkoel2nTsVJAj5M/s1600/March+10th+2+watermark.jpg" height="400" width="220" /></a></div>
I used the same technique as above but cut out the house with different patterned paper.<br />
I used the <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/simple-phrases/">Simple Phrases</a> stamp set.<br />
Just Lovely!!<br />
And I just kept going!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkXQzE5oOIQf9ZhVE-AEbnzXbSjks-kFkHyFYZ3cIXmDzT3f1Q5lhspm6NOffbB6IsSFKU4BDMKnCSWEb5qoqGV6ZhtT0yiWHFairQxpYHiwyrKx8SkOZaafR8q11cXFT8pMp3_uuqYxTG/s1600/March+10th+1+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkXQzE5oOIQf9ZhVE-AEbnzXbSjks-kFkHyFYZ3cIXmDzT3f1Q5lhspm6NOffbB6IsSFKU4BDMKnCSWEb5qoqGV6ZhtT0yiWHFairQxpYHiwyrKx8SkOZaafR8q11cXFT8pMp3_uuqYxTG/s1600/March+10th+1+watermark.jpg" height="400" width="217" /></a></div>
This one I decided to put a heart on it. I used the same technique as above.<br />
I used <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/simple-phrases/">Simple Phrases</a> for this one also. This stamp set is just sweet!!<br />
I am going to have to get back into the mixed media scene - Love it!!<br />
Be sure to check out <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/blog/">Two Paper Diva's Blog</a>. They have some wonderful new stamp set that have just been released!<br />

Good Morning Friends!!</div>
<div align="center">
Beautiful, beautiful weather this weekend!! :)</div>
<div align="center">
This morning I would like timeshare a really simple yet pretty card I made for Prickley Pear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSIr-9FwJyXTYWw48po0BuRIRMPCpIlJ4PIoZbmgP9ef6xHl6UcbEYgAGs3dK5gEBL5rcZ-G2MrcGTtgVpHEJqPbc1qr0qB2axjHwlCO399NgmIAwIc7pGwbdm3Zqlnh1Wpvjoa-k2Yy-/s1600/Mar.+9th+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnSIr-9FwJyXTYWw48po0BuRIRMPCpIlJ4PIoZbmgP9ef6xHl6UcbEYgAGs3dK5gEBL5rcZ-G2MrcGTtgVpHEJqPbc1qr0qB2axjHwlCO399NgmIAwIc7pGwbdm3Zqlnh1Wpvjoa-k2Yy-/s1600/Mar.+9th+watermark.jpg" height="320" width="305" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
It is mostly white with a touch of purple. </div>
<div align="center">
I embossed the bottom layer with a Swiss dots embossing folder and topped that with a fancy square die cut. I then used <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/circular-pendant-die/">D052 Circular Pendant Die</a> cut where I inked the center of the pendant. I then topped the circular pendant with <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/scalloped-circle-die/">D013 Scalloped Circle Die Cut</a>, also in white. </div>
<div align="center">
Next I stamped, in purple ink, the sentiment using </div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/circles-set-sentiments-clear-stamp-set/">CLR013E Circles Set - Sentiments Clear Stamp Set</a> and popped it off the card.</div>
<div align="center">
I added some sheer purple polka dot ribbon and some pearls.</div>
<div align="center">
This card could be used for many different occasions by just changing out the sentiment.</div>
<div align="center">

Here is to sending some love your way! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm here with Two Paper Diva's today to share this card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The colors are soft and spring-y and a weee bit shabby!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/sending-love-2/">Sending Love</a> stamp set. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the heart on pink paper and floral paper, cut them out and layered them together. I also stamped the "Sending Love" on a tag and popped it off the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added lots of layers, some small flowers, pearls and of course...a bow!!</div>

Good Morning Friends!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One look outside here in Kansas City and you will see that it isn't so much a Happy Spring!! Bitter cold and snow this past weekend has me home with a heater at my feet as I work in my craft room. Have I said lately....that I am soooo ready for Spring??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is some Happy Spring Inspiration for you from Prickley Pear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz8Miok1jnK1s4OG75h6-0OVreXkozsFjYllLdoi89LRR79GT44W5ceIdAFQzS-kErKCyQSStwFWxE853JYmMrIiEHgaqV5Gj1rzBLr2UpSJUvWUqFltMfT6rbePbmbodJ8E4NxfGEkYMi/s1600/march+2nd+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz8Miok1jnK1s4OG75h6-0OVreXkozsFjYllLdoi89LRR79GT44W5ceIdAFQzS-kErKCyQSStwFWxE853JYmMrIiEHgaqV5Gj1rzBLr2UpSJUvWUqFltMfT6rbePbmbodJ8E4NxfGEkYMi/s1600/march+2nd+watermark.jpg" height="400" width="310" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spring is just around the corner (truly...it is...it has to be!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tulips and daffodils will be bursting through the ground to remind us of how resilient life can be - despite a cold rough winter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/pond-of-ducklings-red-rubber-stamp/">HH0175 Pond of Duckling - Red Rubber Stamp</a> and <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/happy-spring-3-red-rubber-stamp/">DD0231 Happy Spring 3 - Red Rubber Stamp</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These little duckies are just so sweeet!! Love them!!</div>

Good Morning Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, sit back and take a look at my next creation for Two Paper Diva's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made this sweet little coffee cup-to-go from a silhouette file. I assembled it and added some embellishments using the <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/cup-joy/">Cup of Joy</a> stamp set from Two Paper Diva's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja8NqMJ40hEB5DoP_dlbHlldnRg5SEN9rAKmufu8dhMFJVcfGKav6am1dmiGS04TxUEKQm3GKV1Ej1AinIEXlyL5FQc8ukWJMRZoq-_ZtQ0EdQnqF3L5-rRnMeSfSMFYMFyV7G0te3fUsH/s1600/feb+24++5+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja8NqMJ40hEB5DoP_dlbHlldnRg5SEN9rAKmufu8dhMFJVcfGKav6am1dmiGS04TxUEKQm3GKV1Ej1AinIEXlyL5FQc8ukWJMRZoq-_ZtQ0EdQnqF3L5-rRnMeSfSMFYMFyV7G0te3fUsH/s1600/feb+24++5+watermark.jpg" height="400" width="288" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I Stamped the coffee cup on matching patterned paper, cut it out and popped it off a small doily die cut and adhered it to the top of the coffee cup lid. I also added pearl lace, a bow and twine to dress it up a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Saturday was such a beautiful sunny day. It was cool but really nice out and boy did I have Spring Fever!! The sunny weather inspired me to make this card. The yellow and the blue are really pretty together - kind of like the blue sky and the sun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I embossed the flower and butterfly with white embossing powder. I stamped the "You Are My Sunshine" twice, masking off the saying in order to have it separated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/striped-flower-red-rubber-stamp/">FF0185 Striped Flower - Red Rubber Stamp</a>, <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/you-are-my-sunshine-red-rubber-stamp/">FF0186 You Are My Sunshine - Red Rubber Stamp</a>, <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/mini-butterflies-clear-stamp-set/">CLR023 Mini Butterflies - Clear Stamp Set</a> and <a href="http://www.prickleypear.com/scallop-circle-nesting-die-set/">D041 Scallop Circle Nesting Die Set</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Morning Friends!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here with a little St. Patrick's Day inspiration from Two Paper Diva's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhw0aOq29CFSzqFFUKoAJjifxqoPnzAexS8rNenE3ZNJduFQHmnQ1iLR7w6gWWATyWQGS2Di3SMdGGW1BZJiBtrSvllUxsXW6RdzUVF9kXzP_f4ZwFO3otUph3XaBv7V-n0B7lT1hg_Hr/s1600/feb+17th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMhw0aOq29CFSzqFFUKoAJjifxqoPnzAexS8rNenE3ZNJduFQHmnQ1iLR7w6gWWATyWQGS2Di3SMdGGW1BZJiBtrSvllUxsXW6RdzUVF9kXzP_f4ZwFO3otUph3XaBv7V-n0B7lT1hg_Hr/s1600/feb+17th.jpg" height="400" width="313" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is really fun stamp set for St. Patrick's Day! The colors of this card are bight and cheery and perfect for that Irish friend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the hat and little clovers on patterned paper, cut them out and popped them off the card. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are little green gems in the centers of the clovers, but they aren't really visible. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I really love this new die - it's so elegant!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the little pink flowers on white cardstock, stamped the sentiment in black and then die-cut it with the circle die. I then layered this onto the pink scalloped circle die. Then I popped it off the white Circular Pendant die-cut.</div>

Good Morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here to share a really pretty card I made for Two Paper Diva's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4rpEow1CpQID6wd62FF182uCsC-XwcwxKdlQihNKWmLh0PK3QwH1-GfegGPEGDWIttK0wVFdq2r0cGTzIPD-kcHnTASjZu2IE_U4x_nhWDJaUiZ62NUdA-p77mbiosIa9M9sqLzzYiD_B/s1600/feb+8th.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4rpEow1CpQID6wd62FF182uCsC-XwcwxKdlQihNKWmLh0PK3QwH1-GfegGPEGDWIttK0wVFdq2r0cGTzIPD-kcHnTASjZu2IE_U4x_nhWDJaUiZ62NUdA-p77mbiosIa9M9sqLzzYiD_B/s1600/feb+8th.jpg" height="320" width="251" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This stamp set is a new release for Two Paper Diva's. These flowers are just so sweet!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a perfect stamp set for Mother's Day - don't you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="woocommerce-main-image zoom" data-rel="prettyPhoto[product-gallery]" href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/wp-content/uploads/C145-Happy-Mothers-Day.jpg" itemprop="image" title="C145 Happy Mother’s Day"><img alt="C145 Happy Mother's Day" class="attachment-shop_single wp-post-image" height="400" scale="0" src="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/wp-content/uploads/C145-Happy-Mothers-Day-158x225.jpg" title="C145 Happy Mother’s Day" width="280" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And ironically the stamp set is called <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/happy-mothers-day/">Happy Mother's Day.</a> Sweet!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are quite a few samples using this stamp set on the Diva blog, which you can find <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/blog/">here.</a></div>

Good Morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a bit frigid here in Kansas City this morning. After being nearly 80 degrees last week, this is quite a change. It complicates the whole wardrobe mindset at the very least!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I doubt the ole Punxsutawney Groundhog will be seeing his shadow this morning! Soooo looking forward to Spring this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here to share with you a Two Paper Diva's Valentine card I made. I used the <a href="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/product/sending-love-2/">Sending Love</a> stamp set. Love it!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what you get!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="320" src="http://www.twopaperdivas.com/wp-content/uploads/Sending-Love.jpg" width="224" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the "Sending Love" sentiment and the little heart stamp for my card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQypIDdxzrxUGojzLWXfPzoaw2oRmOyLas8iWywTu7nOY_8PPsEZJPUpKqPN9ATwOQ2cjb1lsSIp2w8_gsg2BSxgwVLRUArWDK7edJ-ali6Ef4GSTBG_KftCf0NlXzI0l2UbrFyZCdPqjH/s1600/feb.++2+watermark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQypIDdxzrxUGojzLWXfPzoaw2oRmOyLas8iWywTu7nOY_8PPsEZJPUpKqPN9ATwOQ2cjb1lsSIp2w8_gsg2BSxgwVLRUArWDK7edJ-ali6Ef4GSTBG_KftCf0NlXzI0l2UbrFyZCdPqjH/s1600/feb.++2+watermark.jpg" height="400" width="306" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this card for a card swap I participated in yesterday with a bunch of wonderful ladies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So much fun to share a passion with others!!</div>

As always... it's much more beautiful in person. It's hard to capture the true color and dimension!!</div>

I had my first class at Ink Paper Rubber on Wednesday. What a wonderful time we had! I got to see some familiar faces I hadn't seen in quite some time. It was good to catch up and do some card-making. A big thank you to Jen for inviting me!!</div>
