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!

A white wedding card with a little black tie! This card is so much prettier in person. I had such a difficult time trying to photograph the white irridescent foil on the Basic White Cardstock. I used layers of white ribbons, vellum, cardstock, and foil to create this look. Card created for @stampinfancyfriday B&W challenge. BUFFALO CHECK HOT FOIL DIE FRAMED & FABULOUS HOT FOIL DIES #stampinup #frameandfabulous #blackandwhitecard #cardmaker #cardmaking
I’m not a blending brush expert. Ink blending takes patience, and time but when you stamp on top of it, you can hardly see the mistakes… ha! Spooky trick. I used a circle punch and post it note to create a simple mask and set to blending a moody night sky. Cards created using the ‘Oh My Fright’ stamp set for #gdp568 #ohmyfright #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmakingreels
Teal or purple?! Both are great for a spooky background.

I can't decide if I have a favorite?  The greeting and bat images are from the 'Oh My Frights' Halloween stamp set

I used hot foil to create this card and a second card with the leftover negative foil from the hot foil die. Two for one! There’s something just so satisfying about peeling the foil away from the card stock. Foil is Light Pink.
