Happy Sunday!
It's Daylight Savings time---have you 'sprung' your clocks ahead??
Right now, I am watching the sun come up, and I hear the birds twirping.
Yesterday, I actually saw geese!
Yes, GEESE!
Is SPRING coming?????
I sure do hope so!
It has been a busy week for me....I did not get a chance to do many crafts.
However.
I did make a card for my dear sweet MIL, whose birthday was this Tuesday past.
We are celebrating with her today.
One of the things I told myself at the beginning was that
I wanted to learn new techniques---either for cards or scrapbooks or mixed media.
This week, I learned a new card tecnique.
When I first saw these pop up on Pinterest, I thought they were so amazing!!
Pop up/Exploding box card.
So, with that idea in mind, I went and searched for a tutorial .
Found one on Splitcoaststampers.com, found here.
Was it easy? Relatively easy. I think it would ave been more easy for me had I had a
Scor-pal. That is on my wish list. But it is very do-able without a Scor-Pal.
I had a few 'grr' moments, with my son snickering at me because I was fighting with the paper.
Ha! I conquered that fight! lol
So, without further adieu, I present my card for my MIL.
I used Fancy Pants Design Love Story papers, with
Tim Holtz Distress cardstock as the base.
The flowers and other elements are from various companies:
Crate Paper, Basic Grey, My Mind's Eye, Teresa Collins, Amy Tangerine.
The ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam. It was a gift from a friend (Thank you Julie!)
and my first time using it. the colors fit perfectly with the papers, and I especially
like how easy it was to maneuver.
My daughter helped me with the choosing of the elements.
It was fun for her to pick and choose
some things---and wow, I was impressed with what she chose!
She has a flair for design,
it seems, and she's only 4! Proud Mom moment! :)
So, that's it for me for now.
Fingers are crossed that I get a chance to do some crafting today.
I am entering this birthday card for the following challenge:

Be safe. Get crafty.
