Hydrangeas are a favorite flower of ours. Sadly, this crafter doesn’t have a green thumb for this plant, so finding other ways to enjoy the blooms has to be sought out.
Luckily, a whole garden of Hydrangea blooms was found among the botanical treasures at Creative Fabrica. Check out all the details via the link below!
I'm in love with this stencil. Hope you'll enjoy the results of using it too!
This Z-fold card is a favorite. Reminds me of the English gardens Mom painted a few years back. While the image used in this card isn't one that Mom painted, it is very similar to some that she does have images of.
For all the details, please visit the article posted on The Artistry.
this project was created for The Artistry. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. The pictures don't do it justice and with all the stormy weather we had last week, even studio lights didn't help as much as I would have liked. That being said, I hope you'll stop by and take a peek at the process shared in this article.
And look for the bonus tip at the end of the article for the glass heart embellishment.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you'll find some creative time in your near future!
It's that time of year and we have some painting projects that need a few extra hands to help make it happen. That wheelchair ramp is a long one and it's needs a bit of refreshing! I figured that using some fun invites would make the job seem a little more fun and we'd enjoy the company as we tackled the ramp. You'll find more of the details on The Artistry!
And while you're there -- be sure to check out this amazing 210+ Font Bundle! There are definitely some keepers in this one! All have commercial use licenses! I spotted a few that could be used with a pen or other draw tool, like the Foil Quill. Scroll down the page to take a peek at all the fonts included - You won't be disappointed.
Hoping you'll get some time to spend in your crafty space this week to nurture your creative spirit and soul. Hope it's a great one!

This file was used for an April challenge in on the paper crafting groups on Facebook. Thought I'd better get it done early in the month since the rest of the month has filled up fast with other crafting makes and a little bit of re-organization and some yard work thrown in as well.
The paper for the basic structure is from AC cardstock and the digital Teal damask paper is from a NitWit Collection called Porch Swing. The diamond pot file is not available outside the challenge group... all pieces were cut using the Sizzix eclips 2 and eCal3
Hoping you have scheduled some time in your creative space this week and for the coming week. And thanks again for stopping by.
Lots of birthdays are on the calendar for the next few months... time to buckle down and make a few more cards!
Our littlest princess turns 1 very soon. Hard to believe she was born just as the world went a little crazy last year! We've missed out on so much of her 1st year -- here's hopes for a reunion very soon.
Papers for this card are from a collection I found at Creative Fabrica. The website is one of the first places I stop when looking for themed digital images and papers.
Pink and Gold Foil Digital Paper Set
I was even happy to find the crown was also included in the collection. It's really a pretty simple card and the eCal3 software made it a breeze to fill the name and shadow of the 1 with the digital papers -- and size it to the shape. The card is based on a cake topper I saw on Pinterest. I love that it was easy to translate into a card front and so quickly.
The shadow layer of the 1, Happy Birthday, and the crown are printed on the AC smooth white card front. I used my print template for a card and oh how easy it is to print a card at a moment's notice in the software.
A second crown with a blackout shadow and the name, Emily, were cut separately. The number 1 was cut out of plain white cardstock. The gel pen came in handy for some dots at just the right size for our cute little granddaughter. Using a little double stick tape, the number was adhered to the card front, centered over the "shadow." Pop up dots add a little dimension to the name and I also used a gold metallic gel pen to highlight the crown in several places before using some pop up dots to secure it to the card front over the printed crown.
Birthday wishes are going out in the mail today!
Hoping you're enjoying some creative time -- and if not, will set aside some time to do so in the very near future! Enjoy!
Loved making this mixed media piece and very happy to have it featured on the Artistry at CreativeFabrica.com

While the pandemic (COVID) continues to create new "normals" on a daily basis, there are more new beginnings for us as well this year.
My plans to retire late 2021 were sped up a bit in late December of 2020 and I was launched into the realm of being free to rethink the timeline. There's a part of me that is ecstatic about new opportunities and more time to craft and create during the hours I used to spend working.
New opportunities await -- ideas and projects that were pushed to the back burner are now moving to the front and may finally see the light of day much sooner than previously thought.
Looking forward to new beginnings starting now.
Let's begin with a stack of Thank You cards.
CAS panel - 3.5 x 3.5 print 2 cut on Kraft
card base - 4 x 8 colored base, scored at 4 along the 8 inch side.
Adhere panel to card base front*.
** I chose to insert one of the thank you cards in a frame as a gift for a special friend. The "box" also contains a small gift.
All Occasion cards
Panel - 3.75 x 5.00 speech bubble cut out with word (designed in eCal3 and cut on eclips2
