Spring Flowers

Hey there Bloggers! I hope that you enjoyed your weekend and are all ready for the beginning of a new week. 

It's been another busy week for me. My kids participated in a fundraising event at their school called Ride of the Mustangs. The fundraiser was a 48 hour stationary bike ride to raise money for the Children's Hospital Oncology unit. This was the third annual event and it was as successful as past years... this year the kids raised an amazing $132,000. As a parent I am very proud of all the kids. I have to say the kids were exhausted. 

Saturday we went to the Airdrie Home & Garden Show (which I was not a participant in this year), went to the Roughnecks game, and saw some of Blair's relatives that we hadn't seen in 6 years. Sunday everyone went to Comic Con and I stayed home and did some creating. I will be showing you the projects that I made using April's Paper Pumpkin kit later on in the week.

So today's project is a card that I made because I finally wanted to try out Delicate Details Lace Tape. Another one of those things that I buy but just never seem to get around to using. There are a lot of uses for this product including as a mask for inking or spritzing. I decided to use it as is. I also used some Pink Paislee butterflies that I had on hand and Tea For Two DSP. 

Enjoy!

Airdrie Home & Lifestyle Show

Hi all! Hope you are enjoying your Saturday. I am hanging out at the Airdrie Home & Lifestyle show. I have had lots of visitors today and I will be back here tomorrow (booth 148). I hope you will come by and see me!

It's Monday!

Hi all! I hope that you enjoyed your Easter weekend. Our weekend started at the Glencoe Club in Calgary for a skating competition. Alexis placed 7th after a few mistakes but she still had a good skate. Friday was spent doing a whole bunch of errands, grocery shopping and the final Roughnecks home game of the season (it was a great game!). Saturday I finally got into my workshop to get some things accomplished. Then we went out to a comedy club with friends. We saw Tom Rhodes, a comedian from Florida. He did a really great job, and we had a great time. It's always nice to get out with friends. Sunday was spent cleaning up the house and back into my workshop. Blair spent the afternoon cutting up some barnboard for my furniture pieces that will be used in my booth for the Airdrie Home & Lifestyle show at the end of the month. And of course, there was turkey dinner!...The best part of the weekend.

So here we are on Monday and I wanted to share with you a project that I made with my Stamper's Club a few weeks ago. We were using different techniques for creating flowers, including using fabric which I don't usually use, and I never sew....so it was a very interesting evening. The card that I am sharing was one that I created using the Nature Walk stamp set and the flower was made using the Big Shot, Waffle paper, and the Scallop circle die.
