Hummingbird and snow and ice

Framelits and Hummingbirds

I feed the hummingbirds year round and enjoy them outside my office window when I work from home. Feeling inspired by these tiny little birds and came up with this design for the Stampin Queens sketch challenge 22 using the Elements of Style stamp set and the new Framelits from the new Occasions Mini catalog.

Birthday's and Butterflies

It's snowing like crazy and I'm ready for spring. Here's a Birthday card I've made for a friend. Sure hope she won't mind that I shared it with you all before her Birthday.

I used the new Doily Sizzlit and new Blossom punch from the Occasions Mini, Brad from the Sale-A-Bration mini, the On Your Birthday stamp set, Bigz Beautiful Butterfly die and Butterfly embosslit from the current 2011/2012 big Idea Book/Catalog. paper used was Certainly Celery, Blushing Bride and Whisper White. I glued the Doily o to Vellum paper and let it dry before running it through the Big Shot with the Beautiful Butterfly Bigz die
