Hello and good morning! It's my turn to post over at Poppystamps. This is where my card began, using the Nordic Sweeping Branch from the new Nordic Forest collection. Pop over to see how it ended!

Love Grows in Happy Homes

Hey there, I have a pretty little card to enter over at The Paper Players! I've used Ann's color challenge to CASE one of my own cards made many years ago. The reason for the CASE was that I found the cutie PTI birdhouse already cut in one of the colors I needed! 

I stamped the (PTI) leaves to hang the birdhouse from, then topped them with the leftover heart cut-outs. The sentiment and birdhouses are from the PTI Love Lives Here set. An old set that never gets old! After cutting the panel with a Spellbinders hemstitch die, I popped it onto a white card base then added the pearls.

And off she goes to the gallery and I'm off for a regular eye check up.

Dilation... no fun!!

Isn't this a bright and happy Mood Board that Carol has given us to use at Just Us Girls this week? If you know me at all, you know I spotted polka dots in those paints! Here we go... 

I stenciled a rainbow of polka dots then framed it with an embossed panel to mimic the look of those pencils all lined up. I topped the heart off with a pinked heart frame. 

That stubby little pencil (Stamps by Judith) reminds me of our son when he was about 8 years old.  I saw him doing his homework one day with this itty bitty nub of a pencil. I said "Joey, I think we need to buy you some new pencils!"  He said "Nooooo I like using this one! It's my favorite!" Yes, just in case you're wondering... I still have that pencil!!!

How will Carol's photo inspire you? 

I look forward to finding out!

Hey there sweet peeps! It's time for our Word Week challenge at Just Us Girls. Vicki is our hostess and she's looking for fruit. I used some paper I've been hoarding far too long! Take a look...

This paper came from Archivers many moons ago, so it's old! I just love the raspberries though and those pretty little heart shaped leaves. I topped it with a pretty PTI border cut from the reverse side of the paper. A sweet Poppystamps heart made of vellum and a couple of Poppystamps Nordic Butterflies added to the summery feel. 

I know our gallery is going to be one big beautiful fruit salad of cards this week. You'll be adding yours to the mix, right?
