Happy Tax Day? Can April 15th ever be a Happy Day? Well…
I decided a while back that I needed to experiment with more of my stamps, dies and use up some paper before I do any more purchasing! HA! I know, I know that is laughable you say! Wholly agree! BUT, I have been looking at stamps that I have had and dies that I purchased and low and behold, they hit my creative brain! Finally!
Today, I want to share with you just a few of the projects that I had a blast with. Have to add – the Botanical Builder Framelits from Stampin' Up! has quickly become a favorite of mine. When it first came out, all the elements of the Botanical Blooms series – the paper, the embellishments, the stamps and die – they didn't appeal to me. Why? I don't know. It took awhile, but they have really grown on me. Perhaps seeing all of the beautiful examples on Pinterest, and samples from groups that I am a member of made me see the beauty that was hidden.
So, here are my projects so far for the week and the products used..
