A Colorful Post...

Hi there! :)

Hope everyone had a fab weekend! Ours was super busy (way busier than last weekend when we spent the entire weekend lounging in our pajamas!), but it was nice to change it up a bit.

Before I share a card today, I thought I'd share the flower arrangement I put together for a friend whose house we had dinner at Sunday night. They are kosher and specifically asked that we not bring any food or drink... so I thought flowers were the perfect hostess gift... especially since there are such beautiful spring colors popping up in the markets these days.

  

Amazing what some grocery store tulips and spray roses can turn in to, eh? :) The woman who I gave it to asked me how I got it so tightly packed. Practice. (And I still need a lot more!) But, the fact that I was a florist's assistant in another life doesn't hurt, either.


Switching gears entirely, I wanted to post a card I made for my hubby's birthday back in February (I'm slowly catching up!). I don't very often make my husband a card that doesn't include at least one robot, and this was no exception. In fact, this time I went CRAZY with robots! :)



These robots were just so happy looking that I knew they'd look adorable with party hats on. And thus, a card was born! :)

Do you know what I like most about this card? I was EASY! And quick! I don't often use stamps that don't require some kind of coloring, but every time I do, I wonder why I don't do it more often. Cards go together in a flash. These particular robots are from My Cute Stamps. And their stamps are (seriously cute, that is!).



I chalked a piece of white cardstock, stamped the robots in black ink and then added colorful party hats. After stamping the hats, I went over each one with a Copic Spica pen for a little added glimmer. Then I just layered on a bunch of panels, tied a ribbon, and finished the card off with some sparkly letters. Super simple.

My hubby and I have gotten super competitive in Jeopardy and have been watching ever since the Watson computer was on. So I'm off to watch with him (and win, like always). ;)

Enjoy your evening, and thanks so much for stopping by!
