Vermont, a Card and 2 New Members!

I can say HELLO to two new members!

Ryn Tanaka -
the creator of many beautiful stamps the most famous of which is the waterdroplet stamp, that I have shown on this blog several times...

and

Claire -
who is with me part of the Simply Create Too design team and creates beautiful shabby chic cards.

Here are my welcome pictures for you - the photo above is a collage made from glass blowers molds and the picutre below is taken in Quechee, VT. The building on the side is the famous Simon Pierce glass blowing workshop, powered by the Ottauquechee River. The molds are exhibited inside.

I really enjoyed Vermont and I made a Thank You card for my friend with whom I drove up there. On our last day we did a short hike and walked by some birch trees. I took some of the bark with me - ironed it at home and made this card from it. she noticed that it almost has the shape of Vermont - put sideways.

The bird and branches are Memory Box dies, the sentiment is Hero Arts Fancy Script Messages, the butterfly a Martha Stewart punch.

And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes.... Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
