This tag came together very quickly. I covered the tag with paper from Papertrey Ink. Using the English Doily die, I cut it in half and pleated it like a fan and attached it to the tag. I used Prima flowers that were sprayed with shimmer mist and added a pearl on each from Jolee's Boutique. Finished off with matching ribbon from Papertrey Ink.<br />

We have been very lucky this year, compared to last, that we haven't gotten much snow here in Virginia. But I know that alot of you have and I hope you've stayed safe and as warm as possible.</span></span> <br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The card I'm sharing today is happy little card that makes me think of Spring. I'm entering it in the challenge over at <a href="http://joanscreations.blogspot.com/2011/03/joans-gardens-9-weekly-challenge.html">Joan's Garden</a>. The challenge is to use the colors orange and blue, create a card with a spring theme, use a die cut and use a circle.<span style="color: #660000;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN-BpJiOj6lgT7SHcRYjI0oMvoGXYEf5VjxWKi0m2p92V4jcE5fViORpIUWHU2SaP-EnRyzQwnp2CFWAKh5U91p9QNerSePoLiu8UKpXPuBcWnq0ley2K_ZSyz8XYFjC9jBaNK6oRyouMt/s1600/100_0084.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN-BpJiOj6lgT7SHcRYjI0oMvoGXYEf5VjxWKi0m2p92V4jcE5fViORpIUWHU2SaP-EnRyzQwnp2CFWAKh5U91p9QNerSePoLiu8UKpXPuBcWnq0ley2K_ZSyz8XYFjC9jBaNK6oRyouMt/s1600/100_0084.JPG" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;"> <span style="color: black;">I knew right off that I wanted to use this stamp from Morehead Stamps. Isn't she adorable? I stamped her on Heavenly Smooth Ultrawhite Cardstock from PaperTemptress using black Memento Ink. She was then colored with various Copic markers and cut with the round Nestability. Then I cut out a blue and an orange scalloped circle and adhered them together. I made a plain white card (6 1/2" X 5") and using a corner punch I rounded opposite corners.</span></span></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The blue layered paper is from 3Birds and the polka dot paper is from a DCWV stack. I added the Orange Zest swiss dotted satin ribbon from Papertrey Ink </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: black;">and a butterfly sticker from Martha Stewart. The sentiment is a stamp from JustRite Stampers Heart to Heart set.</span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: black;">I hope you're thinking Spring! </span></span></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

But hey, it was sunny so how can I complain? Today is nice out also...enough that I could wear sandals while running a few errands. AND The Washington Capitals won this afternoon so I am very happy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I made a sympathy card to share with you today. This has to be one of the hardest cards to create. I'm sending it to my friend Joan, over at <a href="http://joanscreations.blogspot.com/">Joan's Garden</a>, because her mother passed away last week. If you've never been to her blog, please visit her and share some love. She carries everything you need for your papercrafting in her shop.</span><br />

This card was made to go along with the gift tag that I posted below. I made a 6 1/2" by 5" card using cardstock from The Paper Company. I added two layers of Valentine prints from K & Co. The sentiment "for you" was cut using the Cricut and the Doodletype cartridge from Bazzill cardstock and the hearts were cut with the scalloped heart nestabilities. The center of the cutout hearts were used on the gift tag. And I always use my glue glider to put my layers together.<br />

I used the All Occasion Nested Sentiment from JustRite Stampers and the border is from the Victorian Nested Frames, also by JustRite Stampers. The flowers are from Michael's</span>.</span> <br />

Have you? The other day I came across several while looking at blogs and it was like a lightbulb went off in my head. Why not try it? I really like the end result. I cut the tag using my Cricut and the cartridge Plantin Schoolbook. The paper is from K&Company. I added a second butterfly. flowerbud and leaves elevated on pop dots for the 3D effect. The ribbon is from Papertrey Ink. I will definately be making more of these.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It has been an absolutely gorgeous Labor Day weekend here in Northern Virginia. I hope you're enjoying your weekend. Thank goodness we were spared the wrath of hurricane Earl! Most of my weekend has been spent inside packing to move the beginning of October but I did send a little time making a card for my son to give his godson for his birthday. Once again, I used my Cricut and the Create A Critter cartridge</span>.<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> A very guick and easy, peasy card! Paper is from The Paper Company. </span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I finally have a different camera so I hope my pictures will look better. What a fun learning process this is.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love the accents that are on each corner of the card. I'm sure they have a name but I have no idea what they are called. I cut these and the cameo out with my Cricut using the Heritage cartridge. I wrapped a piece of pink ribbon from Michaels around her neck along with a pink gem from Memory Box. I mounted her on white cardstock cut with an oval Spellbinder Nestabilities embossed with the swiss dot Cuttlebug folder. This was mounted on the pink scalloped oval. I used pop dots to set them up from the card. All paper is from the Paper Company</span>.<br />
