and then I check my blog list and what do I see - the reminder post for:



Color Throwdown has the same colors - it is a beautiful color combo, isn't it?? First I thought that is some fantastic caterpillar - but then Sherrie pointed out that they are a bunch of birds - LOL - my eyesight must be going....

This is a great set of thank you cards! Love the paper choice and design layout. I always want my kids to make their own thank you cards too, but I remind myself that for now it's enough that they write them and get them mailed:)

Love your design with the arrows and what you did with that color combo! Great for a young boy's thank you cards.
Caterpillar? I think the inspiration photo is a bunch of birds. I don't card for birds so couldn't look at it too closely! Lol.

What a fabulous card! Colours are great and your design is fantastic! I have to admit that you said the picture was a caterpillar and I totally saw that. Then you said it was actually birds and I was like, oh yeah it is! LOL. :-)

Ja, wenn man schnell hinschaut, sieht man eine Raupe. Erst wenn man das Foto genauer betrachtet, merkt man, dass es Vögel sind!
Die Karten sind cool!

You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. 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

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
