Pink Cardstock: I Can't Celebrate 39 Degrees!

Good Evening Friends,

I was so excited that March was behind us and April was going to bring warmer temperatures and sunshine...I find myself still waiting for the warmer temperatures and sunshine! It was 39 degrees this morning on the way to church- YUCK! Although I will take the colder temperatures rather than the tornadoes like in Alabama, how devastating for those people who were affected by the terrible storms.

I did take time today to whip up a couple of cards...I am really far behind. I have off tomorrow for an appointment and a little time to myself. I started reading this great book that I want to finish and hopefully sneak a little more stamping time in too.

This is a birthday card, but you could really use it for any occasion. I used Sage Shadow and Real Read card stock by Stampin' Up on this card, I really like how those two colors complement each other. The stamp set is from Papertrey Ink, Year of the Flowers May. The library clip is from Stampin' Up along with the Twine.

When PTI released this stamp set I just had to add it to my wish list! It reminded me of the painting machine that I used when I was a little girl. The machine that you secure a piece of cardboard to the middle plate and turn on the plate that spun in circles; then you dropped different colors of paint onto the cardboard for a splattered look. Does anyone remember this painting machine? Anyway, this set is called, Sending You, one of my new favorites. Actually, my friends gifted me this set this spring...thank you!

The twine is from PTI, the paper is Read Red and Yo Yo Yellow by Stampin' Up!

I made this card for my niece, Alanna. She is turning 16 this month! She just bought my husband's car last week! It's kind of funny because this is the third time this car has been passed down in our family- it is such a nice car, we are going to miss it!

Onto the card...I used PTI, Back Ground Basics: Chevron Stripes. These stamps are really easy to use, you don't have to worry about lining the stripes up perfect for a great look! I also used PTI dies called, Make a Wish for the presents. The paper is by Stampin' Up! Melon Mambo, Gable Green and Tempting Turquoise.

My sweet cousin, Quinn, is graduating from high school this spring so she asked me if I would like to whip up 90 graduation invitations...of course I said, YES! I am honored to be a special part of her day. We met at our favorite coffee shop and came up with this simple, but elegant design. They were so much fun to make...thanks, Quinn!

Here are a couple Easter pictures I thought I would share....
