SSNOTIME89***SPRING HAS SPRUNG***




Hi there everyone!! Time for Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge and this week




SPRING HAS SPRUNG! - For some of us, spring is just springing and for others summer may be in full bloom already. But wherever you are, spring and summer are synonymous with flowers -- beautiful flowers. Today's challenge is to pull out your FAVORITE flower stamp and make a beautiful floral creation for us. You ARE allowed to use images or flowers from sources other than stamps (preprinted images, primas, etc.), just as long as some favorite flowers are the main focus of the project. Let us fill cyberland with the fragrance of beautiful flowers this week!!!

I decided to alter a little pad of paper to give to a friend of mine. I used some deep burgundy Bazzill cardstock and measured it to fit the pad of paper. I also cut a small strip to cover the top of the pad.
I looked through all my flower stamps but I wanted to keep it really simple so I used a journaling note from Crafty Secrets. I added it to a piece of the same burgundy cardstock to give it some weight, added an eyelet and some ribbon. Then I thought - "how can this get used again so instead of gluing it to the yellow cardstock I used a clip and now when the pad of paper is done they use this as a bookmark. I only glued the yellow piece of cardstock at the very top.

The flowers on the journaling note remind me of summer!!!

Enjoy everyone and don't forget to take a look at the all the other creations from our design team.

Surprisingly, it has been like summer here in the pacific northwest which is really unusual!

Janine,
I love your creation!! Very Pretty!

Sorry I have not been commenting recently....the outside work is almost over whelming this time of year. And, it doesn't leave me anytime to be creative at my craft table either. But, my gardens sure look beautiful!
