simply pretty....

Good Wednesday to you all...Oh my, the snow just keeps coming and coming. I think I am just about done with winter. Come on Spring! Keeping with the spring idea... I thought I would use soft papers and soft flowers. I have been wanting the MS punch that punches out the smaller leaves and it is always sold out...so I have resorted to using my snowflake punch to give a little bit of the same idea...I hope it looks ok!


I love to finish the inside of my cards..but sometimes I just don't have the time. But last night while my daughter was out with her friends and my son was keeping me posted with the Hockey game...I was able to finish the inside too! Joanne , thank-you for this adorable teddie with flowers image! Had to colour her up as fast as possible!
Tonight is a big night if you are a Canadian Hockey fan! The Canadians play the Russians...so we are in for some good hockey! I wonder who will be our goalie tonight...we had a few goalie problems when we played the USA! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

How sweet, Christine. I love the soft colors. Your coloring is beautiful and the teddy on the inside is so, so cute. I'm actually starting to work on the inside of my cards. I picked up an issue of Papercrafts "Card Creations" and it featured finishing the inside of the cards. Time I do that, I guess. If you need me to get that punch for you and mail it to you, let me know. Better yet, I like your idea of coming down here and then we could shop together. :)
