Spring

Even though the weather has returned to something more normal, despite the rain, it's still pretty nice here in WI.  But, as promised, something did fall out of the craft room this evening.  There was one, half finished valentine idea up there that finally got finished.  I loved those little birds with their conversation hearts, the tilt of their heads and their expressions are great.  They are one from a set by Inkadinkado (Animal Hearts 99646).  There's a Bear Hug in this set too, that I'm really liking.

For the Spring card, I saw something like this on Pinterest and thought I'd translate it to a card.  I'm not all that smooth with my sewing machine, so I drew the line first with a pencil.  That made it pretty easy.  Stop the needle in the lower position, slide the flower up to it and start up again.  Repeat.  The stamp is from Imaginisce, part of the Twitterpated collection (Item # 001112).  I was trying to be 'Clean and Simple' or CAS with this one.  I'm pretty sure this is as simple as I get.  Barb Housner tried to get me to post one of these on Operation Write Home's FB page a good while back.  Better late than never?  And, just for Andrea, who believes green flowers are 'just wrong', there's one in there just for her!  Happy Spring everyone! - AMK

It's TOO Nice Outside!

Hello Everyone!  Sorry to have left you hanging out here with only Valentine's to keep you company.  It's been waaaaay to nice outside here in WI.  I can't bring myself to while away the hours in my craft room when it's sunny and 80+ degrees in MARCH!  We are setting records every day!

They say it's supposed to start raining tomorrow, so maybe something will fall out of the craft room this weekend.  I do have to get started on the 2012 cookie books soon....hmmmm

Enjoy! - AMK
