Have a great Saturday. Are you ready for Spring Break! James is set. We are off to hang out with family and take a trip to Branson this week. I get to stamp with my cousin Jessica! Mom has the whole week planned out. Wish for warm weather so we can get out in the Ozark Woods and get a little exercise too. SO excited...off to pack.
If you need ANYTHING to make your own scrapbook layouts just stop over to my Website and shop till you drop! Have a good one. Diana
I was looking through my samples and swaps and kept coming back to this card...
Lovely yes. What a great layout with balance and repetition. I C.A.S.E.ed the card...meaning just what I want you to do...Copy And Share Everything. Stamping and art for that matter has a lot to do with taking something you see and creating something new...so here is my version.
This will be my dad's birthday card this year. He is really into flowers but I wanted the card to still be manly. What do you think? The colors are from KWernerDesign.com...here is the color inspiration for this week. The patterned paper is from the up-coming Spring Mini-Catalog...it is called Walk in the Park and we have stamps & rub-ons that coordinate with it...stay tuned.
Thanks Christy & Kristina.
Have a GREAT Saturday. Find some time to stamp, to C.A.S.E and let me know how I can help you on your own creative journeys. What techniques or stamp sets would you like to see on my blog? Leave a comment and I will see what I can come up for with for you. Thanks for stopping by. Diana

Are you a card maker or a scrapper? I hear folks ask this question. I say both. They go together like cinnamon & sugar. (YUMMY, I need some toast with butter too!) Today's card is made from the scraps of my Saturday Scrap Challenge. I had made a little stash of flower elements while designing my page and ended up not using them all. I keep all the extras in my stash box and then I have elements to use to make cards quickly or to jump start my creative time.
