WPlus9: Day 4

Posted on | February 4, 2012 | 1 Comment

More weather news… according to the weather man we’re suppose to have some bad weather coming in. What in particular I have no idea but we’re suppose to be on amber alert – which I am not sure what this means either…

Here’s what I do know though… I have some awesome friends, near and far. That’s why I have an extra soft spot for the new WPlus9‘s Folk Art Florals (in store in just two days)! The sentiment on the above card reminds me of all the coffee times that I’ve had since we moved here of the friends we left behind, at least for now. Even though I am not good at mailing things, this set is making me want to mail a card out to each of my wonderful friend this year. I hope I do follow through, I know I will need a lot of good wishes to make this wish of mine happen {::SMILES}.

Now, don’t forget to check out the rest of the DT’s work! They’re all very different and wonderful!!!

WPlus9 Day 3

I hope you’re blessed with a warm day today because we’re not!! Brr!!! I cannot wait until spring, especially if it’s anything like last year!!!

Today I have a springy card to share with you. I used a stamp from the Easter Greeting set, dies from Folk Art Florals and Layered Butterflies. All new from WPlus9.

Like the butterfly? I LOVE the butterfly! See how awesome the layering is? It makes the butterfly oh so fluffy! FUN FUN FUN!! If you can only afford one thing from WPlus9′s February release you GOT to get this butterfly die! Not kidding!!

Don’t forget to see what the other DTs have to share with you today and don’t forget to comment on Dawn’s post so that you can get a chance to win a set of something!!

Wplus9 Day 2

And day two of February. Seriously, where did January go? I thought it was just a few days ago that we rang in the new year! We’re going into our third year here in England and I really don’t want this time to go by so quickly!!!

Anyhow, I have here another card using brand new stuff from WPlus9. For this card I used a few different things from Spring Tags. To make the card more fun, I used two awesome die-cuts. You know how I LOVE butterflies, right? Well, WPlus9 has the most fabulous piece around!! It really is a great layering system that I am almost 100% sure that you’ll want to get one!

I will leave you be for now but before you get off your computer, please do check out what the other girls did with the different sets from this month’s release!

It’s February!

Four more days until Emma’s birthday AND WPlus9 February release!!

Emma’s been counting down. There’s no big party planned but her and two of her besties will be hanging out, shopping, and eating out. I’ll be chaperoning of course and I think, while I am doing that, I’ll do some photo shoots with the girls. I haven’t taken any decent photograph since October and I think it’s about time I do something about it!!!

And now the card… Today’s card was created using many different pieces from WPlus9′s February release. Let me see… stamps from Folk Art Florals, a little tag die-cut, and a leafy die-cut. I love everything that came with each stamp and die-cut shapes. There are so many possibilities with the stamp set and dies and I love the sentiments that came with the stamps!

As for the design, I wanted to keep the card clean but I also wanted the card to feel fun and playful. So I went with a few bright colors and a hodge-podge layering system with a touch of sewing. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by and do stop by again tomorrow since I’ll have more cards to share using other new pieces from WPlus9!!

Last Saturday Gym

At least for now…

M’s switching to another gymnastics club. I’ll share details on this later but the best part, for me at least, of this move is that there’s no practice on weekends!! Whoohoo!!! I miss having a full weekend to relax or use to explore the area. While we’ve gone here and there every so often, our weekends have mostly been spent at home. Going on a Sunday is not like going on a Saturday, most places close early on a Sunday.

Today I have a little card. The sketch is from Waltzingmouse with materials from Waltzingmouse and Scarlet Lime’s January Frugal Fab kit.

Now, that flower. Have you seen that before? As a stamp? That flower is a die-cut. Pink Paislee. But I could have sworn I saw it before as a stamp!!

Ideas?

I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend!! M’s birthday is next week — EEEK!! And she’ll be eight. DOUBLE EEEK!!!!!
