Oldie Moldie Monday 3-1-10

Can you believe it is March 1 - I hope that means that the snow will melt and spring comes. I think the entire US is ready for spring - winter has been interesting for so many people this year. I know I am ready for spring - I want to see what flowers come up in my new flower beds and the thrill of having some "dirt therapy" - although sometimes it is hard to choose between dirt therapy and paper therapy.

Today is Oldie Moldie Monday - dig into your supplies and find that beautiful paper that has been aging on the shelves for several years - it is still beautiful - it has just been forgotten - show it some love. My friend Ivanka and I do this on Monday - we have a Flicker Group - where people can join us and put their Oldie Moldie cards also.

My first card is loosely based on a sketch from a new site I found this week when I was out surfing the net - The Sweet Shop - stop by and check them out.

I have two birthdays in the office today - so this card is for one of my students - can you guess her favorite color.

Everyone have a wonderful day - I know work will be very busy this week.

Almost the Week End

One more day of work - yeah - need to get lots done tomorrow - got my hair cut tonight and ran some errands. I worked on some recipe pages I am doing - got some of the pieces ready to go on the page. Hopefully I can finish those this week end and get started on another one. I joined a swap group - only 7 in the group so not too many to do.

Tonight's card is for friends of my daughter. I think the baby is a couple months old so I am not too far behind. It is based on the sketch at Taylored Expressions. She has some wonderful stamps I covet but I am trying not to buy online. Here is a close up of the baby - I think it is such a sweet little stamp. I colored it with my Copics - I do think my coloring is getting better. I have been working on that new year's resolution to learn how to color.

Everyone have a wonderful week end.
