Happy Together

It is ab-so-lute-ly beautiful outside.  I know, how can I be inside when the outside is in the 70s and it's sunny.  Well,...ummm, I was out all day yesterday gardening.  Such a happy camper, diggin' in the dirt, hosing things down, looking at all the buds coming up, trimming trees and bushes....but I got a sun burn.  Top of the head...ouch.  Shoulders and back...red and ouch. And my right hand and arm are almost useless because I held that dang trimmer so long!!  Couldn't even hold my orange juice this morning! lol  Very tired muscles! So today I'm doing things inside.  Except I'm going to go for a bike ride soon, with a hat and long sleeves!

But you visited today to see some stamping.  So here ya go.  These cards were for a multi-demonstrator event that I did.  I wanted to show how one stamp set and the same papers could create two unique cards.  Flip this, turn the DSP paper over and use the other side, and waa laa, a different card! 


The twig in the first card is from the grape vines in my backyard.  I pruned those AND got some raw materials for stamping!  Gotta love that!  Both cards have the same base and second layer and use the same DSP (Sweat Pea from the Occasions mini--which will only be available until the end of April.  Good stuff: get yours if you haven't already.) The stamp set, Happy Together, was a freebie {happy dance for free!} during Sale-a-bration, but you can still get one from the main IBC.  I think the birds are just too cute. I have quail all over my yard, and I especially like it when the babies are around and whole families go out for a jaunt.  That top feather boppin' around makes me laugh.  They are very entertaining birds.  Back to the cards...it's hard to see in the picture, but the right hand card has a wood texture on the top from the Big Shot texture plates.  Any questions, shoot me an email.  Or leave a comment.  I LOVE comments, and read them multiple times.  The idea that someone is reading this stuns me.  Makes me happy too! :-)

I hope it's sunny where you are too.  Don't forget the sunscreen! :-)
