Skipping Spring, Zero to 70!

After two weeks of cancelled spring baseball games the season has finally started! Andrew pitched the first home game. It's always so exciting (and nerve-wracking for me) to watch him pitch. Win or loose. 

Our weather has been crazy. Temps in the low 20's and now 70 is on the horizon. I welcome the warmth but am missing spring.

We had tree work done yesterday. We lost quite a few trees and had a fair amount of damage from the last storm. Our yard (and the town) looks like a disaster zone. The tree removal helped TONS! The yard is starting the shape up.

This week has been crazy with ball, Nic's play rehearsals (tech week) and soccer games and reffing for Ben. Better to be busy than not.  Looking forward to April break next week!

Stitching on a card … I ❤️ tiny details. The pierced holes on this die cut heart created the perfect template for sewing a simple stitch around the perimeter with white bakers twine. I created a heart pennant banner using smaller die cuts and the same twine. I love tiny details. #stampinup #endlesslove #valentinecard #cardmaker #cardmakingreels
Cut, cut, cut! I used the ‘Gears and Textures’ dies to cut a variety of shapes to create this slimline card for #gdp530 sketch challenge - that metallic paper is super cool and is called Textured Metallic. Gears are cut from the tungsten and chain is cut from copper. Cardstock colors: Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock. #stampinup #cardmaker #gearsandtextures #cradmakingreel
Gears! ⚙️ Have you seen the new 'Gears & Textures' bundle from Stampin’ Up!? It just arrived in my mailbox and I was so excited to give it a spin. I love this bundle, even if I’m not 100% in love with my project. This set has so much
Gears! ⚙️ Have you seen the new 'Gears & Textures' bundle from Stampin’ Up!? It just arrived in my mailbox and I was so excited to give it a spin. I love this bundle, even if I’m not 100% in love with my project. This set has so much potential, and the creative gears are definitely turning. I can’t wait to play with it more. This card follows the sketch for the @global_design_project challenge #gdp530, featuring slimline cards. Love them or hate them? I’m a little MEH on this format. Guess I’m an A2 gal at heart. 😂 My friends are sharing fresh ideas using Stampin’ Up! products. Check out the Monday Montage hop below!

Big wood-mounted background stamps… I love them! This reel shows how I created this card using wood those stamps. This Valentine card features emboss resist painting and tone-on-tone stamping. Stamps are called TREE RINGS and DICTIONARY (vintage Stampin’ Up!), straight from my collection. These giant stamps never go out of style. I knew there was a reason I kept these bad boys around! #stampinup #cardmaker #useyourstash #cardmakersofinstagram #cardmakingreels
