Erin, Bev and I met for our downline meeting today. My assignment was to come up with a spring card using a stamp set from the occasions mini catalog. I found this card from Gretchen Barron's blog and loved it. I think these colors are fabulous! The bottom card I used her recipe and sponged the colors after stamping. The top card was without the sponging and I really like it better. I still want to play around with the other color combos that she had...they are all awesome!

Erin's assignment was to copy the scrapbook page in our Stampin' Success magazine. There were so many flowers from the pretties kit that she decided to case one from this month's magazine but used different colors. I like how it turned out. I obviously have to add my picture :)

Bev also had a card for us to make with a stamp set from the occasions mini catalog. The set is Garden from the Heart. My greeting is from the free Sale-A-Bration set Whimsical Words. Cute and simple but looks labor intensive :)

Bev also brought us this cute little gift idea. It's using the Sending Love Designer Series Paper.

The flower on the inside is punched from the new Extra Large Fancy Flower punch and greeting stamped with the Whimsical Words set. She had planned for us to put the punched out flower on the front but with the way the Sending Love piece was cut, I didn't think I needed anything else on the front.

FINALLY! This is a project that Bev and Erin made at Lori's back at the beginning of January. I had to borrow the stamp set from Erin to finish it. It's using the matchbox die that is used with the Big Shot (die cutting machine).
