Slooowly I am getting better at posting to my blog on a consistent basis, which was one of my goals at the beginning of January. I actualy started after I returned from Leadership in mid-January, and have been building up ever since! How do you like it? If some of you would leave me a comment, I might be encouraged to offer you all some blog candy one of these days, how about that?????!!!

These next three cards are some of my favorites from this month's swap (although they have all bee SO GREAT, it's really hard to choose!)

Rene Watson used the "Scallop Square" punch on page 201 of the Big Catalog to highight the "Springtime Vintage" Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini catalog. She added some "Victoria" Crochet Trim and a Basic Jewels Pearl to the "sending Springtime smiles" greeting! Her color palette base is Old Olive and Not Quite Navy! Beautiful!

Sadly, "No Name 1" is how I had to label this card after I loaded it on my computer. It is such a beautiful card, but I can't give anyone credit! Whoever you are, you did a fantastic job, stamping and coloring the blossoming branch from "Easter Blossoms" on Whisper White before running it through the Big Shot with the "Square Lattice" Textured Impressions Folder. I love the extra little touch of the Basic Pearl in the little girl's bow!

Susie Wood tore her "Springtime Vintage" fabric from the Occasions Mini into strips before adding it as a background layer to this beautiful creation! She also used the Occasions Mini "Baby Blossoms" for her focal point flower, with the Crumb Cake stamped-off background stamp from "Charming" on page 130 of the Big Catalog before punching with one of our Circle punches and layering on the smaller scalloped square from the "Scalloped Squares Duo" die for the Big Shot! This is all layered on a Very Vanilla Big Shot "Lattice" layer which is then layered again on "Perfect Polka Dot" Very Vanilla for an elegant, tone-on-tone look!
