On the Grow and waiting for warmer weather

Did I not get the memo?  Isn't it Spring?  It's cold and raining in Reno. {sigh}  I love rain.  Hate wind and cold.  But...I am cozy in my home playing with paper and stamps.  I can see the wind and the rain, but my heater kicks on, I sip on my tea, and life is good. :-)

Hmmmm?  You came to see a card?  Ohhhh!  Yes, I have one for you. Look!

I made this card for a friend.  (Hi Rhonda!) When Stampin' Up! went through their color renovations, most of the purples said goodbye.  This card uses the retired color Lavender Lace.  This is one of the purples that I did use often.  Alas, my stock of Lavender Lace card stock is dwindling.  But...who the heck knows...maybe a new color in July will be a kissing cousin of Lavender Lace?  Oh! That makes me smile.  The Stamp is from the new Summer Mini Catalog (you can take a peek at the catalog by clicking on its picture in the right-hand sidebar) called On the Grow.  It has that wonderful scooter too.  Notice the sparkle in the center of the flowers?  Those sparkles are the handy work of the tiny Basic Rhinestones.  Purdy.  The placement of the Silver Hodgepodge was serendipitous.  I placed it down and just liked where it landed! 

So, I must leave blog land and go back to preping for my "Onderful" One Layer Class being held this Saturday.  It a challenge to create cards using only ONE layer of card stock.  I know that vintage is "in" right now, and I'm bucking the crafting trend, but that's the rebel in me. ;-)  I run with scissor too.  Wild woman! I'd show you the cards, but I always like the class participants to get first gander at the projects.  I promise; you'll see my work soon!  If you would like to know when I hold classes or camps, drop me an email and I can put you on my newsletter list. 

Okay...off I go. Enjoy the rest of your day.  Stay dry!
