Lovely as a Tree Retiform (Grid Technique)

I just never get tired of Lovely as a tree, althought I tend to use the Pine tree, and group of trees more than the Oak tree. I have never been a big fan the the Retiform (grid technique) but it just seems to work so well with this card. When I find the link for my inspiration card I will edit this post with the information. This card will be part of my May "Fathers Day - Masculine stamp camp"

Beautiful Wings in Pink Pirouette

A friend of mine has a birthday today (Happy Birthday Karla!) and she likes pink, so I had to pull out my Pink Pirouette since it is returning and will be one of ur core colors starting in July 2010. I totally cases a card on Stampin' Connection by Maurita Wilkerson. I changed to pink and added sponging (I tried not to sponge, but just couldn't control myself) I stamped the sentiment in Regal Rose to make it pop more, so thought adding sponging in Regal Rose on the butterflies and around the card tied it all together.

Just Baseball, Tanner's Birthday card

This is the card I made for my grand-son's birthday using the Just Baseball stamp set I received for FREE during Sale-a-bration. I think it turned out kinda cute. The stitching on the panel and the baseball were done free hand.

Flower Fancy Mother Day Resist

When I saw the border that Marie-Josée Trudel in Canada did on a scrapbook page using Flower Fancy and the Resist technique I just knew I had to make a card with the same technique. Her blog is in French but you can view her card here: http://alapause.blogspot.com/2010/01/page-coup-de-coeur.html. Thank you Marie-Josee for your great card and inspiration. As you can see I was a little heavier with the sponging than Denise. We also decided that the Hodgepodge Hardware was a great addition to the card. I think my mom will love it. Now I just had to find the time to make another copy for my sample book.
