I sure hope...

your weekend was a little drier and a little warmer than mine! I ended up with 8" of snow in my front yard yesterday. Then today, temps rose into the 40's and almost all the snow is gone. Now, I have a river! LOL! The positive side was I had plenty of down time so I got lots done!

With all that time on my hands, I set right to work. I created this card with my Unity Stamps Shine On stamp set.

To create the shadow effect under the lampshade I paper pieced the lamp. That simply means I stamped the image first onto my cardstock for the main image then stamped it a second time onto my patterned paper. I cut the lampshade on the patterned paper out and adhered it to the main image with dimensional adhesive. The image and sentiment were both mounted using my Spellbinders Long Rectangles and Long Scallop Rectangles. All the edges of the rectangle were sponged with both pink ink then brown ink before they were adhered to the scallop rectangles. The finished card size is 3" x 8".

Now this next card is just too cute! Check out what PJ made with her new Just Chillin' Slice Design Card.

This card would be perfect with an iTunes gift card stuffed inside! Just right for any teen!

Veronica created this layout from one of her previous sketches.

Veronica used the new Spring Quickutz Flower Border and 4x8 Aquarius font. But she didn't stop there. She cut the border twice to get the blue and the green so since she had the leftovers, she created a card!

All she had to do was add the sentiment which was cut with the 4x8 Chick-a-Dee font. That's such a great idea...don't you think? It makes perfect sense seeing as how you've aleady got your supplies out and everything is already cut!

Tammy is still enjoying her new Hello Kitty dies. Look at this cute card she made...

To create the embosed background, Tammy used the Sizzix Embosslits Hello Kathy and Butterfly XL Die and her Spellbinders Classic Square Large and Classic Scallop Square Large Nestabilities. The Hello Kitty dies are great for those little girls in your life!
