May Flowers are the new challenge at Cards in Envy

May is here and we have a new challenge over at Cards in Envy.  The challenge deals with flowers, but remember they have to fit in the envelope and can't be lumpy or bumpy.  Last they must be the A2 size.  The challenge will start today until May 18th at 6PM Central Time.

Here is my example:

I used Jillibean Soup Paper and their epoxy buttons (love them because they are so flat and thin), Trendy Twine, and We 'R Memory Keepers letters.

I hope to see you come over and participate.  I know all of you have some kind of flat flowers you would love to use.

Have a great day everyone.

April Showers

Hope everyone had a nice Easter and some family time.  It was beautiful weather for that egg hunt.
Well, the weatherman said we are getting some rain over the weekend, so I guess they can call it "April Showers".
Over at Cards in Envy, there is a new challenge starting now through May 4th.  Remember, this card is the A2 size and not lumpy or bumpy so it only costs 1 stamp to mail.
Here is my card:

This card was made using Jillibean Soup Easter line from last year.  Love these little "Peeps" and the sentiment was perfect to send to my friend.

Hoppity Hoppity

Hello everyone,

New challenge up at Cards in Envy!!!  This challenge runs from now until April 20th at 6 p.m. Central Time.  The challenge is to do an A2 card that is not bumpy and lumpy and will fit into an envelope using 1 stamp, with the theme of Hippity Hoppity Easter is on it's way.

So I took time to make an Easter card to send to my friend.

I had fun making this card, and here it is.

Hope you come over and play with us.  I thought the saying from, Jillibean's line was perfect for this challenge.  

Proposal

Hello Everyone,

I want to show you how I used the best and fabulous Circle Cutter.  I wasn't sure of the size, but that did not matter, all I did was look at my picture and figure where I wanted the center to be and cut the circle.  I knew I wanted a bigger circle that was about 1/2" to border the picture, and the Circle Cutter allows me to do this.  I don't need to have different size punches because I can make the circle to fit my needs.  I used to hate to do circles since I never had the size punch and now I try to use circles as much as I can.

Here is my layout:

If you would like to buy a Circle Cutter, here is a link to Just Imagine Online Store.
