Spring has sprung! First Blog Post!

March 13, 2016 by Cristina Smith

Yesterday I was privileged  to have a house full of stampers just because.   You see just like the butterfly I too have brightly colored wings and a fluttering flight.   I love to be surrounded by people who bring the best out in me, who bring out my colors and appreciate them.   I recently have met the amazing and gifted designer Mamie Carson.  You can find her as Mamie Carson on Youtube.    She has a bright, clean and simple style, but I struggle with that.  I am the one who wants to distress,  sponge ink, and tear that card up, which is why I'm known as "the one with inky hands...".   There's a chinese symbol for it, don't believe me, look it up!   I came up with this clean and simple card to celebrate Easter.   I love it!   I really want to do more to it, but I think I will let the colors speak for themselves very much in the same way that when a butterfly passes, you don't notice all the intricate details, but you really just take in the whole butterfly in childlike wonder and exclaim, "Oh look a butterfly."  Ok so that's what  I do!   Here's my Easter card for you to enjoy!    Products appear below the cards.
