Yep, my post today covers all of that!
First of all, my Unscripted sketch card for this week. That is where the Butterfly comes in plus this great purple patterned paper.
The light blue background of tickets is a Tim Holtz stamp. The butterfly is a stamp by Inkadinkado. It is a set that has butterflies in a variety of designs. For this one, I stamped it with black Versafine ink and then embossed that with Clear Detail embossing powder. Next, I just ran various Copic markers over the stamped image.
Next, the trees are part of my Card Positioning Systems sketch card for this week. I pulled out these brand new papers by Nikki Sivils, Scrapboooker. The collection is We Are Family. I so love the colors.
Seriously, are these just the cutest little trees you have ever seen? They are die cuts from this collection.
Now for a few photos...
We have been gone for a couple weeks and when we arrived back home yesterday, this is what I found in my backyard. I planted these bulbs last fall and have been waiting patiently.
This is the first year I have planted these. I planted several kinds of bulbs though so I am still waiting on the rest.
And, I found a new cupcake store and they had a few special treats for Valentines Day. If you are ever in Newberg or Tigard, Oregon, be sure to look up this store, Sweetest Thing Cupcakes. The store in Newberg is in the cutest, old house.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
