Paper peonies for Spring!!

I love Spring. It's a sign of new beginnings. And I'm working on some new beginnings, too. Take a look at this beautiful paper peony. I dare you not to think "Spring"!

A little rose music!!

I've been working on roses. I love them so. 

Springtime flowers

So, I've started using a planner and I'm wondering if you use a planner and if so, what works for you. My goal is to keep track of what I need to make, what I have, and what goes out of my studio. I hope you'll share your ideas with me. 

In the meantime, I made these lovelies tonight. Enjoy!

Busy studio time!

I've been busy in my studio but feel like I'm not getting as far as I would like. I do find that I learn something new with each project--that's progress!! Gotta remember that!

A little spring

I love spring!  Next to fall, it's my most favorite time of the year.  (Then again, who loves the heat of summer or the cold of winter?). Spring brings new things each day. My backyard is full of Robins--a sure sign of spring and new beginnings!  Next up in my yard will be the Redbud tree--spectacular--the buds are coming out and the show is about to begin. 

In the meantime, I've been working in my studio attempting to replicate the beauty of the new season. So Dogwood is up today. What do you think?  Thanks to @LiaGriffith for the template and idea!!!

Spring??

Who doesn't like spring flowers??!! I'm going to enjoy these lovelies while I complete the bouquet. 

A rainy afternoon

Nothing is better than a rainy afternoon in my studio. A new batch of notecards. A set of yellow, another set of 4 orange and 4 red. All in their own little handmade envelope style box. A great gift. Who's on your gift list??? 

A little hello

This is a set of 8 Hello notecards in a delightful handmade box. 

A winter gift

I created this lovely bouquet for my friend Carlos using his favorite colors. It's all roses, but I do enjoy making other flowers as well. 

Something New!

This is a new technique for me: double stamping or rock and roll. I really like the result. It's a Clean and Simple card (CAS) and I think I'll use this technique again. I have seen Jennifer McGuire use this technique as well as Laura Basson.  So thanks ladies for the inspiration!!
