First Signs of Spring

Happy Wednesday, everybody!

 A new challenge is starting at
Double D Challenges

This month the theme of the challenge is the first signs of spring.

Here's the inspiration board:

The first day of spring is March 19th. When I think of the first days of spring I always think of crocuses. Sometimes the ones I have planted even stick their heads up through the snow. Here's the card I created :

      I used the crocuses clear stamp from Create a Smile.                  The Dot Scallop Border from Simon Says Stamp and the Spring Die from Neat & Tangled.

I hope you enjoy the springtime. 

Hugs, Doni

The sentiment badge is something I printed off of some free clip art a long time ago. It pays to never throw anything away! lol

Pink

Hi everyone!

 Today the challenge at Simply Clean & Simple is to make a card using Pink.

 Here's what I made:


I used a white card base then added pink cardstock that I cut just a little bit smaller than the white card base. To this I added a strip of white that I had used my score board to make the stripes. 

The word Thanks was cut from a die from Simon Says Stamp labeled  script thanks.  The hearts were cut from a die  from Your Next Stamp called Floating Heart Panel Die. I have like a million pink hearts left over! lol

I can't wait to see all your pink cards!

Hugs,

Doni

Sparkle and Shine

 

Happy Wednesday, everybody!

 A new challenge is starting at
Double D Challenges.

 For this challenge they would like our projects to Sparkle and Shine.

Here's what I made:


 I used the Snowflake Hexagon die from Simon Says Stamp. 
I cut one from white and one from glitter and off set them so that the glitter would show around the snowflakes. The just a note sentiment is also a die from Simon Says Stamp.

Thinking of you

 This morning I was thinking about my niece. She has often commented about setting up the the cards I send her on her work desk...so I made her this one to add to the collection:

 

 Here's a side view showing how the large green plaid circle folds in half to stand the card up.


I love this Cardinal!  He's made from a die from Honey Bee Stamps.



I plan on using him on next years Christmas cards...

Wish me luck on making that many of them. LOL

 

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Stay warm.

Hugs, Doni
