Keep calm...spring is here?

Well, I guess it's spring....somewhere anyway.   We actually have some bare patches, but there is still plenty of snow and ice that needs to melt.  Temperatures are hovering around the freezing mark, which is a huge improvement, but we still have a ways to go.

So this is how I spent my winter....ha ha ha!  Not too likely....I would have frozen to death.  It will be so nice to put all the sweaters away.   Today I've gone with water colours again, for this pretty stamp from Sparkle Creations.  Nice soft colours....still working on those warmer weather thoughts.

Supplies used:

Paper from Basic Grey - Euphoria collection

Spellbinders dies - Ovals, Lacy Ovals, and Marvelous Squares

Cheery Lynn die - City

Hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by.

Keeping cool.....

What a scorcher!  We're having an intense heat wave right now, and it's only June....what will the rest of the summer be like!  Definitely crafting weather.....housework, gardening...all that can wait!  So how about a new challenge at Charisma Cardz, this time with a SUMMER theme.

This could be me....'cool, calm and collected'....ha ha ha!  Not these days, and the bikini is definitely a thing of the past....but I can wish. (lol)  Coloured with copics, then just some pretty ribbon, a few gems, and some perfect pearls for the finishing touches.
