New February Release

Meet the newest Kiki LaRue. I love her flowers. She screams spring time. I am so ready to get rid of this cold snap and melt off this snow and get on with spring. :) It is time don't you think? I keep seeing stampers color directly on kraft card stock and thinking I will do it, then forgetting to try it. I did have issues with her skin looking funky so I stamped her again and put the skin on regular white cardstock and then paper pieced it. The paper flowers are from the new Little Tag die that will debut tomorrow. You got a sneak peek. ;) The metal flower came from a necklace I got and can't make myself wear. It has a bunch of flowers but they lay on my neckline funny. I paid good money for it and decided to use the flowers for cards. They are to pretty to just sit in a box.

Group Day

Today is group day for My Time Made Easy! Be sure to check the other team members blogs. The links are in my side bar. Today I get to show off this cute house card. This card was made using the Homemade Card and Envelope © cut file. It goes together super fast and makes a cute card to decorate to your hearts desire.

Add a basket of cookies or other goodies and you are good to go.
