First of all, I want to share with you a nice award sent to me by both Holly at Rubber Redneck and Heidi at RunningwScissorsStamper. If you haven’t been to their blogs, please stop by because their work is fantastic!! This is so nice of both of them and it really has made my day. The award is the Sunshine Award:
1. Put the Sunshine Award on your blog and/or within your post.
2. Pass the award to other bloggers.
3. Link the nominees within your post.
4. Let them know they received this award by leaving a comment on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received the award. The hardest part, of course, is narrowing it down!!
In no particular order, here are some of the blogs I love:
1. Margaret Moody – Margaret Moody
2. Ann Schach – The Stampin’ Schach
3. Monica – Monica’s Blog
4. Krystal – Krystals Cards and More

6. Kristin – Sunshine, Smiles & Stamps
Please go take a look at these to see where I get so much of my inspiration!!
I do have a card today. It is another card using the new Presto Patterns DSP from the upcoming Summer Mini. I am in love with this paper!!! I used the window pane technique to make the card but the paper really did most of the work. I sponged Old Olive over this grid-style paper and then stamped the cone flowers from Inspired by Nature with Chocolate Chip. The ink comes right off of the “embossed” section of the DSP and you are left with this cool look. I cut the image apart, tied on some wide grosgrain ribbon and look at what I have!!
Cool, huh??!! Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to leave a comment…it really makes my day! Have a great weekend!

Wow! This is super cool! Love the colors and this fabulous new DSP! And…thanks for spreading a little “Sunshine” my way!
I love this and I had not looked at this paper closely now I guess I will have to order some and try this out … this is so pretty thanks for sharing
That is such a unique look, I LOVE it! The man in brown just delivered that paper yesterday, but I haven’t even had a chance to look at it yet. Thanks for a great idea!
I love the different textures and colours you used. Its a really lovely card. I am also very greatful for the sunshine award that you sent me.
Very cool, now am going to have to add that to my next order. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is beautiful! I will have to buy some of that paper and CASE this. TFS!
Thanks for the award! You are too sweet! Love what you did with the Presto Paper. I’m thinking I might need to get that. 🙂
Great card!
Thanks so much for the nomination, Jen! I’m so glad you like my blog! The feeling’s mutual! I love visiting yours, too! You are so sweet to think of me and I’m so very honored to be in such great company!
I don’t know when I’ve seen a card I like more. You used my favorite ss; I bought a pkg of the Presto Patterns DSP but, until now, really didn’t know what to use it with. Now, I’m so exited, and I’m going to case your card, with your permission, of course. Thanks for your artistry and your knowledge.
