Happily, NO snow for us....

....at least not yet!  And if the forecast is correct, we will be very lucky and only end up with a few inches.  But, my heart goes out too all those in the Mid Atlantic states who are in the middle of a major blizzard with 1-3 feet of Snow.  Sorry guys, I feel for you after the very snowy winter we had last year!

     As for me, I am delighted to not have to worry about this one and I am enjoyed a nice day of creating.  I'm here now to share a couple cards with your.  I made several more, but many are for upcoming DT posts, so stay tuned to see those soon!

   My first card today was created for this weeks' challenge over at the the MUSE Card-making blog and is base this wonderful card, created by Tracey!  I love the bright happy colors and that it reminds me of Spring and wonderful warm weather!!..

 
    I created my flowers using the "Mod Flower Border" die from Poppy Stamps, which I cut from white cardstock.  I then used my Copic markers to color each of the flowers in my favorites colors of Purple and Pink.  I also used the same stamp set, the "Acts of Kindness" Set from Hero Arts, shown below!  I absolutely LOVE this set and was thrilled when it was given to me at the Simon Says Stamp Create event that I attended in October!  I LOVE Hero Arts and I also loved being part of Jennifer McGuire's wonderful Kindess Campaign.   I also blessed to be on the receipts of Jennifer's wonderful "Kindness Packages".  I just love her and feel so luck to call her my friend.

 

   Speaking of Jennifer, I also want to remind you that the newest class over in her "Online Card Classroom" starts on Monday.  It's called Watercolor for Cardmakers - Intermediate Techniques and you can go HERE and enroll today!   Hope you do and if you do, please let me a message, so can look for you in class!!  YAY! 

   My next couple of projects were all created this week for a variety of challenges and for fun.. The next two things, we created at a fun little craft event I went to last weekend.  My friend Tobey, is an AMuse Demo and she often hosts workshops at her wonderful Bed and Breakfast.  I'm hoping to host a little retreat there this Summer.  If you think you might want to come, let me know.  It's OPEN to all and we live in a wonderful Coastal town, perfect for a summer vacation.

 

   And my next card was created for an upcoming "Card Swap" that I take part in every month.  It's hosted on the blog of Debbie Nolan and you can find it here!   The recipient of my card does not current follow my blog, so I can share it here and not ruin the surprise.  It was based on the March - - Sketch as well as the Color Combo, which you'll see below !   This swap it OPEN to all--I hope you'll sign up and join us.   I have my card done nice and early, since I'll soon to be off on my trip to San Diego -- 19 fabulous days of fun, sun and relaxation!!  WOOHOO!!
