amazing you

Wow, what a weekend. It’s the middle of April, and this weekend when had a two day blizzard that dumped 15+ inches. of. snow. Seriously. I’m not joking.

This was the view from my deck early Saturday afternoon. It just kept coming. It snowed all day Saturday and all day Sunday. At times we couldn’t even see across the street! I am so over this. I just want sun and warmth. I want to wear my sandals and go out in just shirt sleeves. I don’t want to feel cold any more.

At least today’s Display Samples are bright and cheerful. These creations feature the Artisan Textures stamp set.

This first card I used the paint swatch stamp in Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Lemon Lime Twist to creat a fun background. I stamped the line image in Basic Black for some contrast. The sentiment is from the Rooted in Nature stamp set. (another new set. more samples of that coming later.)

On this card, I stamped several of the images in a cluster as a background for the sentiment. I used a strip from the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and stamped various words from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. This is a great card to let someone know you think they are amazing!

Today’s last cardagain uses the Artisan Textures images for a fun back ground. Colors are Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig and Crumb Cake. I added some Embossing Paste with the brick stencil to add some more texture behind the Celebrate You Thinlit die cuts. I added more texture from a bit of Linen Thread tied on the “amazing” and by stapling the “You” to the crumb cake panel.

Be sure to check back for more creations to build your anticipation for this great new set!

Curtain’s up! It is opening night for Mulan Jr. at Hutchinson Middle School. It is always exciting to get to this point. To be honest, after three long months, I am also ready for it to wrap up. Of course, I go right into rehearsals for the High School spring show. So the whole cycle begins again. I hope to get some more time in the studio soon. For now, here is a scrapbook page I made of my amazing middle child, Rachel. I used one of my favorite shots from her Senior pictures (she graduated in 2016). This picture just blows me away. It was a lot of fun designing this page.

I started with an 8″x8″ piece of Crumb Cake card stock. I stamped the flowers from the Amazing You Sale-A-Bration stamp set in Soft Suede. Next, I added the brick background with the decorative mask and embossing past. I stamped the words “You are Simply” in Berry Burst, Peak a Boo Peach and Dapper Denim and cut them out. I used the Celebrate You Thinlits to die cut the word “amazing” from those same three colors. The last detail is the ribbon element at the top.

I really do think she is simply amazing!
