Something Different

Greetings!

In a past life,

I used to sell and teach card making

with rubber stamps.

It was a passion of mine and

I still miss it.

Once divorced,

I sold almost all of the supplies

I had (which were too numerous to mention).

The few supplies I managed to keep,

were for scarpbooking.

I could justify keeping those so I would

have some nice memory books

to leave for my children.

OK.  So what does that have to do with my blog?

I've decided to, once again,

"put myself out there."

You see,

I have all of these pictures I took

of my flowers last summer.

I've made a lot of greeting cards

using them but still had so many left and

wasn't sure what to do with them.

My "light bulb" moment finally came

the other day.

I separated all of my flower pictures

into color "palettes."

Then I proceeded to "scrap em'."

Since they transported me to

warmer, sunnier, snowless days,

I thought I'd share a few with all of you.

Aren't you just the lucky ones today?

Ha!

It was a challenge with my limited

supplies, but here they are.

I'm sorry about he glare on some of these. As always,
I'm not great with technology!

The glare is pretty bad on this one,

but I wanted to share the "paper flower" with you.

Anyone remember the song "Paper Roses?"

While it's not a rose, it is still fun

to make.

Mmm....makes me excited for summer!

I'd like to leave you with a favorite quote today,

it comes from Henry Ward Beecher:

 

"It is easier to go down a hill than up it, but the

view is much better from the top."
