About Me

My Photo
Northville, Michigan, United States
I'm married to my best friend, Jonathan, and he's very supportive, or should that be tolerant, of my crafting addiction!!! We have two wonderful children, Ben and Kathryn. I am blessed with a loving family and am surrounded by friends, both virtual and real-life. I believe in life-long learning and graduated a couple of years ago with a BSc in Chemistry. If I'm not in my craft room making cards, then you might find me reading, taking photos, or simply being with the family.

Citrus fresh ....

.... just a quick post with a small card made with this week's Colour Q - cQc172 colours - so bright and fresh.  I used these colours last week when I made a card for my daughter Kathryn, and I had some card left over so I had to use it. 


Stamps: Hero Arts - Curly Flowers: Waltzingmouse - Frame-It
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Basic Grey
Accessories: SU Card - Summer Starfruit; SU - Melon Mambo Ribbon; Promarkers - Magenta, Poppy, Lime Green; White card and gems from stash



I kept this one really clean and simple.  I made a 4½" × 4½" card from the bit left over and cut a white panel to go on top.  I stamped the flower in grey and coloured with Promarkers, adding a few gems for some glitz.  I finished with the ribbon wrapped around the panel and this sweet sentiment.  The card will go into my stash for when I need it.

The snow finally stopped just before lunch, so Jonathan and I went out to clear the drive and footpaths - looks okay now.  But it's so, so cold!  That's all - see you soon.
