Flourish Gathering


What a great day celebrating our last get together for the year with our amazing
Flourish group. 
We met up at Evergreen church to hear our last message from our mentor/leader
Marjie Schaefer. 
Our groups gathered at tables that we decorated for spring and shared a light lunch.
Always bittersweet parting for the summer months ahead.
What a great group of ladies! 




Our theme was lemons so everything was lemons,
 we had chicken lemon salad, lemon bars, strawberry lemonade,
lemon scones, salads and lots of laugher!

Lakeside Retreat


April's a beaut with the new paper pumpkin called 
"lakeside retreat"
Here's card number one from the kit.
I always like to change my cards up a bit from 
the kit by just tweaking them slightly.


I barely changed this one up by adding the greeting to the top
of the card instead of the bottom, then added some
glitter to the rainbow trout.  


This was a great father's day kit, the background paper
is gorgeous!

Beautiful scenery card take 2


Morning!
Back with some sample ideas on the scenery card.
A few of you asked what this looked like.
You can see I chose scenery paper, then below cut 1/2" strips.


Layer up you card, then using dimensional dots add your 1/2" pieces to the card.


I didn't line up mine very well with this one! but you get it!



I suppose this shows you it doesn't have to be perfect to look decent!

beautiful scenery card


This is a fun technique to try.  I saw this demonstrated, you choose
a designer series paper that has a scenery.  Cut two pieces the exact size,
I cut mine 4 x 5 1/4".  Set one aside. 
Take your other piece and start cutting it into 1/2" sizes till you are done.



Now it's time to layer and adhere the pieces to the card. 
In doing so, you will leave a space between adhering each "slat".
You may have a few pieces left over. Just discard them. 
This is the end result.  It gives you a 3D effect. 
Pretty cool huh?


Just add your greeting and there you go, doesn't need much more to pop!

and fussy cut a few pairs and add them with dimensionals
to make them pop.
