Well I spent some time yesterday making my cards for the ladies (and 1 gentleman) at New Towne Village. I wanted to get my sample made so they could see ahead of time what they will be making this month. I will take them over tomorrow so that they can be posted and the ones who are interested can sign up. Since they have to be very basic cards but still have some wow factor…
I was looking for a quick and simple card and on the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog Natasha posted a great sketch. This was my starting point. I ran across a new blog (just started Friday) where 6 very talented ladies have pooled their efforts and post a weekly challenge.

Happy Easter! I had the idea for this card about 2 weeks ago and started working on it. The reason it took so long is I had to do each layer and let it dry in between.

Have you ever colored an image and then couldn’t figure out what colors to use with the image? That is what I ran into with today’s card. I saw a watercolored image using the watercolor crayons and realized I hadn’t used mine in quite some time. I thought it would be fun to use the Upsy Daisy image as this set is one that I know a lot of people can only think of using…
My friend Candice has decided to start her own blog. We use to do this one together but life got hectic for her so she gave it to me. Things have settled down for her and she has decided she would like to post her cards again. We had several long conversations about posting and ideas. I mentioned how I do some of the challenges to stretch my skills and we went to Splitcoast Stampers…
