Spring & hop......spring & hop!!!


I love spring time....everything is fresh and new.
Everything comes alive and blossoms.

Can you guess I made a springtime card? 
Yep, my Mama passed away in 1984 and she is missed dearly!!!!
I digress.....back to my card.


I wanted to use Gingham Garden DSP because it just screams SPRING to me.
You are seeing front and back of the same piece of DSP....is that not delightful.

I also used So Saffron card stock for a layer and I distressed it.  
I stamped the coffee cup from Perfect Blend (The cup is two pieces....I stamped the lid section and flipped it upside down to create the inside of the cup with water in it), the flower from Happy Watercolors and 
the greeting from Really Good Greetings clear stamp set with Black Staz-on.
I colored all the images (very lightly) using the ink pads: Baked Brown Sugar and 
Strawberry Slush and my aqua painter.

I love how this turned out...it reminds me of 
when my kids were little 
and they would bring me the first flower (or weed) they found outside and I
would always take it to work and put it on my desk in my office.  
Most of the time I didn't have a vase so I would just use a coffee cup. 
It was more gorgeous than even the most beautiful bouquets 
from a high end florist. 

 Here is the list of beautiful flowers you need to see in this hop
in case you get lost.  I'm the caboose, but you may want 
to go back and see them again....right?

Happppppy!!!!!

           Happy....
I guess that can describe me....most of the time!!!

I'm uber HAPPY today.  It's MY birthday!!!!
I'm 53 yrs old today!!!
Yep, not hiding my age at all, I love every year that 
I'm 6 feet above ground. I still have too much living to do. 
Too much to experience, too much to acccomplish.
Too much of everything!!!!!!!
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Especially my crafting!!!

Take a gander at this beauty!!!! 

This is the inspiration of this card.

My hubs ordered me some Jerusalem artichokes (aka Sunchokes) to plant. 
This is what the plants look like...they can get up to 10 feet tall.

This is the tuber or root that you harvest after the flower has died out in the fall. 

I have been wanting them for a while now. 
It's a type of sunflower that you can harvest the root and prepare it somewhat like a potato. 
My mama always peeled them and pickled them.  They stay really crispy and us kids would eat 
almost a jar at a time.  They were so yummy.

Hubs and I will be planting them today around our well.  YAY!!!!

Here are the deets of my card:

Retro Fresh punchin'

                  
A little tidbit about myself....
I LOVE punches and love coming up
with different ways to use them.

Its just something about inserting that paper and in a snap
it transformed into something beautiful.....or at least 
on its way to being beautified!!!!
                         

This one was super easy to create with graduating sizes of circle punches, banner punch and 
some left over DSP called Retro Fresh from Stampin' Up!!!!
Sentiment is from Happy Watercolors stamp set and inked with Chocolate Chip Ink.

Circle punches:
1-3/4"
1-1/2"
1-1/4"
1"
3/4"

Punch two pieces with the Banner punch to create the end flaps. 
I fussy cut a strip the same width as the banner punch....(around 5/8")

Added some dimensionals behind the sentiment piece and the largest circle.
Also added a small strip of some of the DSP along the right side.
