Personal Post Monday - a week in the life - lol!

So this past week I have been busy!  We finished planting the garden, took care of sick kiddos, I had a couple stamp classes, I'm getting ready for my new catalog Open House this coming Sunday - but I managed to do a few other things too!  I got in some stamping - made these cute cards out of a package of pre-printed "Thank You" notes I had.  SU's Botanical Builder Framelits make it so easy and quick to make these beautiful flowers with a tropical feel. 
 Can never have too many thank you notes!
Also wanted to get some of that floral feel done on my house - so I made up 9 of these beautiful hanging baskets for my front porch.  If you follow me on facebook you've already seen them.  I really love the feel they give the house.
 
Also made up some other cute little flower arrangements for my front porch to bring some freshness and color.
Soon we're going to be getting so new rockers for the porch so we can sit there and relax - so looking forward to that.  Hope you Monday is relaxing and your week is off to a great start!  See you soon!  ~Maureen

Team Cards - I am so late

So today I am working on getting my team cards out for March!  I know, I know - late - I guess I'll be combining them with April!  Between our trip to California.  Some big family decisions.  A bad sinus cold and ..... well you know - this month just got away from me.  But the cards are stinkin' cute :)  I started by cutting out the sun rays from yellow and gently sponging orange in the middle of the sun.
Here's my mat after making several of the - how pretty is that?  May need to take that technique and make another card design.
Next I layered the yellow onto a blue card base.  Not giving specific colors as I used several yellows and blues.
After that I added the "sayings" from my TIPsy Tuesday post a bit ago.  Popped up some clouds made with the cupcake builder punch, and of course a few gems to give it some bling.  Isn't it such a happy card?
Here's a different view so you can see the verse and the clouds were popped up on dimensionals.
And a bunch of them done below - how could those not 'brighten' someone's day?!?!
Stop back soon for more stamping fun! and don't forget the retiring products - more and more are gone each day CLICK HERE for the post on that!  ~Maureen

Tea-riffic!

I love this little tea pot - awhile back I shared this card that I made for the coffee (and tea) lovers blog hop.  

I wanted to reproduce it for a cards class - but struggled with getting the little thin wavy line die cuts to stick without having glue show - even using the fine point glue.  Some of my ladies are brand new - and I wanted them to have success.  So I changed it up a bit - took the wavy lines off and added these three little flowers.  And you  know what - I like it even better. 
I really love this card - and hope everyone I send it to will like it also.  ~Maureen

March Christmas Card 2

So here's the second design we had for Christmas Cards in March.  This card uses the Wondrous Wreath set from our Annual catalog, as well as the Wonderful Wreath framelits.  And the window is made with the Hearth and Home thinlits dies from the Occasions catalog.  It just shouts out the warmth of Christmas to me with that glowing yellow window.
Framelits make it so easy to die cut the images and the card comes together in a snap.  Here's the window portion of the card as I was working on a  layout. 
For a bit of added glitz we heat embossed the berries in gold on the card, popped up the wreath on dimensionals and added the little candy do to the bow.  Hope you like it!! ~Maureen
