Fifth avenue floral

Gorgeous framed art

We had another birthday celebration at my house the other day….it was Sandy’s and Colleen’s birthdays this month so we had a double birthday bash. This framed art was Sandy’s gift to Colleen. It is just stunning.  I wish I could find some frames like this to copy the idea. Sandy used 2 of my favorite sets to create it too….Fifth Avenue Floral and Great Friend. I just love it . They both got some fabulous gifts so I will be sharing more pics in the next week.

PS….my surgery went very well and I am doing great. Thanks for all of the emails and prayers that many of you sent my way.

Fifth Avenue Floral

Here is a great card created by my so very talented upline, Melissa Ellis. The Fifth Avenue Floral sets is one of my favorites. I really wanted to do a class with just this set and the Urban Oasis paper but I ran out of time. I think I will have to plan one for next month with some of our new papers.

Cards to share

Here are a couple of card  ideas from  my upline Melissa Ellis…..

This one was made using the Crazy for Cupcakes set and the Raspberry Tart dsp along with the Top Note die and the Big shot. I really did not like this paper when I first saw it but now that I have made a bunch of stuff with it, I love it!

This was Melissa’s project for our shoebox swap. I love that Fifth Avenue Floral set. The words are actually rub ons instead of a stamp.

I copied this adorable idea from Connie Stewart. You can see her original project here . It is pretty easy to make and is a great gift idea for anyone, especially teachers. With Teacher Appreciation week and Mother’s Day coming up soon, these would make awesome gifts. The main piece is baja breeze, then I have a strip of Walk in the Park dsp, and I stamped the flowers from Fifth Avenue Floral in basic gray on not quite navy cs and then cut out. The center is dotted with the white gel pen. I typed the name part on the computer and printed that out on cardstock.
