A Happy Hello. . .

I made this card to send out to a couple of my girls that have been missing a few card classes lately.  I just wanted to say hello and let them know that we miss them at class and hope to see them soon.  

I used Marina Mist ink and Watercolor Wash for the background.  

The flowers are stamped in Real Red ink using the Flower Shop stamp set and then punched out using the Pansy Punch.  

The greeting was stamped in Archival Black ink using the Tin of Cards stamp set. 

Craft Storage- from the kitchen to the craft room- Tool Turnabout

I wanted to take a minute to share with you an AWESOME product I discovered that is absolutely perfect for my craft desk.   It holds all my frequently used items that I use when I am designing my cards. 

It is called a "Tool Turnabout" and is made by Papered Chef....designed to hold kitchen tools....but boy oh boy this is an amazing crafter's tool! 

It has tons of storage and is made of sturdy hard plastic and has a rotating base!!!  Score!!

I found a wonderful  Pampered Chef representative local here in Winnipeg.  

She also has a website where you can order one for yourself from anywhere in Canada. 

 I ordered mine directly from her and picked it up. 

 It was just a few days between the time I ordered and received my Tool Turnabout.  

Thanks Kelly!

This was another easy but fun card to make. 

The background is embossed with the Softly Falling TIEF.

The greeting is from the Wild About Flowers stamp set.

I love the fresh and fun feel of this card!
