a birthday card today

hi all!

so you would think having a girl i would not have to keep repeating "don't stand on the furniture - you can NOT fly!"  yep.  that is her latest mission.  she is convinced she can learn to fly.  we are going to head to chik fil a so she can play while i get some work done - got a few exciting things in the works but i have a lot of work to do to get there!

i have a birthday card to share today:

i got a bunch of lili of the valley stamps - oh how i ADORE those!  i wish i could one every one of them!  This is Time for a Cuppa and i thought it went perfectly with this cute cupcake paper!  and check out those flowers - annyone reccognize them?  no?  that's cuz they are old as the hills primas - i love being able to use new stuff just like the next guy but i have a TON of the old primas and you will just have to suffer through my occasional not-on-trend products :P  honestly it is just so hard to keep up with everything and expensive too!

i colored her with colored pencils and instead of stamping her with black i decided to use a very pale brown - i like it.  i also love the vivid-ness of the colors.  folks often think you can't achieve that with colored pencils but you most certainly can!

i will be teaching folks how in may in baltimore - registration is open so sign up!  come for the class or come for the whole weekend!  either way it will be lots of fun!
