New stamped cards

Here are some samples made for the Oxford Impressions gallery for new stamps she had available in February.
The above sample has a border done with a new Martha Stewart edge punch- looks like a trellis. The cups above and below are embossed with metallic embossing powder and then water colored.

This card below is cut out of an original vintage greeting card. I cut out the front of the card, added the stamped girl, a flower made from vintage velvet ribbon, and silver glass glitter.

thanks for looking

Is it really?

Exactly one month ago, everything (in my front yard) was covered with snow.
Here in Arkansas, that's a big deal.
It was beautiful, we looked at it long and lovingly, and pretty soon, it was gone.

And then.................what's this?





Wait for it................................

Something is coming!!!..............

Oh my gosh..........................................IT'S SPRING.

And today, March 9, 2010, it is as beautiful a day as I have ever seen: the sky is so blue, one could almost hear a bell, the breeze is blowing through the pine trees, and the temperature is 75 degrees. Yes, it is really Spring.

Thanks for this day.
