April Showers Under my Umbrella, retiring soon.
April Showers Under my Umbrella April showers bring May flowers they say, today April Showers Under my Umbrella brings flowers, boot and thanks to your day. I hate to say that we really need some more rain. The pond is still so low. I heard on the weather too that we are still in a deficit as far as rainfall is concerned. Fingers crossed we have a chance of rain a couple days later next week. Fingers crossed!! Anyway, some happy pops of Daffodil and brightly colored flowers for today. Can you see the embossing folder in the background?? That is from the Meadow Moments embossing folder. That folder actually…

Inky Whisper Sisters Swap Sketch card.
Inky Whisper Sisters Swap Sketch Have you ever tried creating a card from a sketch?? I love sketches, why?? Well, you can use the layout or design that the sketch provides. However, you can change the shapes, or the orientation of the card. Because a sketch is just to get you thinking. It sure was fun to see what the Inky Whisper Sisters swap sketch cards turned out to be!! Take a look at the things that I choose to “C.A.S.E.” (copy and selectively edit). I liked the way the twine was added, because everything should have some sort of ribbon, right?? But I used circles instead of a square…

Small Bloom Punch for a Challenge
How about a Global Design Project Challenge? The challenge this week … C.A.S.E. the designer! And I love Charlet Mallett’s cards! Always a little extra pretties! Here is her cards. Beautiful, right? What spoke to me is that Small Bloom punch. And the flowers going up the tower! I have been been wanting to try my hand at water colors again, but…. YIKES, the first one sure did NOT turn out! Just tooooooo much water. I share this because there is a learning or relearning curve. Just because you did not get what you wanted on your first or even second try. It does not mean you should not try…

Adhere with Multipurpose Glue. Arrange your punched out pieces and do not be afraid to use those partial pieces. Even the little flowers that have a straight line can be used along the heart or edge. A FUN find … the “Hello Sunshine” fits in…
