Live in the Moment

Hello! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here in North Carolina making it perfect for getting outdoors for a little exercise, vitamin D and N (nature)! 

I've been going on a walk almost everyday and plan to go hiking this weekend. How about you...any plans to get outside and to enjoy some sunshine and a little fresh air? 

All my outdoors walks inspire projects like this card with lots leaves and earth tones. 

I used the variety of foliage stamps included in the Lead Me and Bird Sketch stamp sets and one tiny little log stamp from a brand new set that just debuted at the Fun Stampers Journey 2016 convention. Do you know which set it's from? Do you have a catalog yet? 

I just got to see the entire thing and it's something special! Hope you enjoy it, crafting and the great outdoors!

Nature Inspired

Hello! I have a nature inspired card to share with you today created with one of the new foliage dies from Fun Stampers Journey. 

Inspiration comes from countless places and for me, nature is the most awe inspiring! 

The above photo was taken from one of my studio windows. Every day when I look outside any one of the windows at our house I see tress! Lots of them with branches hanging in all directions with so many leaf shapes in an array of greens. It's so lovely and I feel so fortunate to call this place home. 

To recreate this scene I used Journey Rectangles for my window frame and the Summer Branch die for the foliage. 

Now I can share this splendid view of nature with a friend!
