Inspiration Ink

Multiframed Bouquet Thanks

This card ended up with almost nothing in common with the original idea in my head, but I like it!  I did want the flowers to be brighter and bolder instead of the pastel colors I've mostly seen used with this set.  Enjoy!

Take It Thursday!

It's Thursday!  So, it's time for my postponed Take It Tuesday session being called Take It Thursday this week!

You can stop by anytime between 2 p.m and 7 p.m. today.  You don't have to tell me in advance that you are coming, just pop by!

This is a good time to pick up any orders you may have waiting for you, pay me for an order or upcoming event, register for an upcoming event, or place an order.  You can browse through samples I have on display and, since I have retired merchandise set out for sale, you can also shop for retired products!  Feel free to bring a camera to take pictures of samples on display so you can use them for inspiration at home.

You can also bring any products you may have that you'd like a little extra instruction on how to use and I'll give you a quick lesson.  So, if you have a punch that is giving you trouble or aren't sure what sandwich to use with a Big Shot Die or want some tips on using Wheels, etc. bring them along and get a one-on-one lesson.

If you have cards or cards to donate for Operation Write Home, bring those too!  Please just remember - absolutely no glitter!

I'll also have a couple of quick and easy card projects ready for you to stamp if you wish.  These projects will be different each week.  Cost will be $1 per project made.  You may make one of each of the two cards available if you wish.

Today we'll be making these two cards:
