Pink Paper Gingerbread

Today on the Lori Whitlock Blog, I am sharing my Pink Paper Gingerbread House.

Spring Garden Card

It has been gloomy and rainy here for days. It's only January, but I'm ready for Spring!

Today I would like to share a tall, skinny card that I made using Eileen Hull's Sizzix Dies, some paper that reminds me of Spring, and some glitter. Because glitter makes everything a bit brighter! Especially die cuts!

Simon Says Stamp: Mason Jar Homegrown Summer

I have a black thumb. I can kill a plant faster than Ortho. 

A paper plant? This might be the answer to everything! 

This week, the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is Homegrown Summer. My ancestors were all farmers from the Mid-West, so I really appreciate everything that's grown and Summer is the perfect time to express that. My paper terrarium has Distress Glitter dirt. That's my kind of dirt! (Sorry, Grandma!)

I've been using paint more and more and I'm discovering that I really like using it, There's a learning curve, but I'll get it eventually. My skills will grow, too.

Let's be Royal

A Royal Challenge has been decreed for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! 
Every Paper Princess is in need of a crown, so I created mine with paper flowers.

I normally don't make flowers. I leave that to Emma and Anna-Karin. I love their luscious flowers! But when I got the Maggie Holmes Confetti die, I discovered that I like making flowers too. Funky Flowers!

Creating an entire garden was easy because the die set has a lot of fun pieces to mix and match. I added some pen scribbles to the blooms for added artistic flair. And I'd like to thank my crafty friend, Kimberly for giving me the courage to leave my own marks. :) Blog friends are the BEST!

The wand in the first photo? Every Queen must have a scepter! This wand was from a previous challenge that I did for Simon Says Stamp. You can see more of them at Making Magic Happen.

Rule the Royal Challenge! Link your Royal project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp. We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.

In like a lion out like a lamb

In Like a Lion, Out like a Lamb. We've all heard the expression.
I'm not a fan of that lion. It was way too cold. Bring on the lamb!!! While we're all waiting for warmer weather, I hope you'll join us this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. The theme is "In Like a Lion, Out like a Lamb", but you can use any animal for inspiration.

This week, I repurposed a tart tin. With a bit of paint and glitter magic, I now have a new Spring fridge magnet with a watercolored bird. Yes, I've used this bird a million times...I know I should retire him, but he keeps giving me the "eye".

Here are a few of the supplies that I used:
