SCENE IN A GARDEN

I really love this new stamp set from the SU! Occasions Mini called Scene In A Garden. It is just adorable. Whether you are a gardener or just love plants or birds, or these adorable boots, you will love this stamp set. I used a so saffron card stock base. Next I took some of the wonderful paper from the TEA PARTY PAPERS (oh I love that paper and hope they do another version of it in the next idea book) and punched the corners with the SU! ticket punch. I then took some of our ultrasmooth white card stock and stamped the bench, the pots, the bird and the boots. I colored them all in with my BRAND NEW stampinwrite MARKERS. (I just got a second case - my gift to myself for my birthday) and then applied crystal effects over everything I colored. I backed this scene with some more so saffron card stock and added the praying for you which is from versatile verses which is also in the occasions mini catalog. The so saffron grosgrain ribbon was a SU! exclusive from Sale-a-bration that I got FREE!

Linda Kincaid crafted these gorgeous cards for Eileen's birthday yesterday. I hope Eileen received her card, as now it is posted on my blog.

This is the card for Eileen for her birthday. I sent this set with Tara to use on an upcoming event but had stamped a couple images in black Staz On as I knew Eileen liked this set and I wanted to use it for her birthday card. Crystal Effects on boots and flowers but it does not show in photo. Shhhhh....hope she likes it. Words are from Older and Wiser set, Pocket Silhouettes, Scene in a Garden and Sanded background. It has been nice to slow down and take time to make a card. Sometimes I feel rushed to "get it done". I am never early getting cards out but this time I am a little ahead of the game. Have a great day. Find time to enjoy the sunshine a little.

great job Linda!
