Hi Everyone and I hope you are staying warm. The sun is shining today, but it is bitterly cold with the wind chill. Is it ever going to be Spring?
I have two cards for you today, one is for our blogging group, Tangled Up in Creativity and is hosted this month by Becky. The theme was Vintage Summer Time, so I combined with the Pals Paper Players 82 where scallops are to be featured.
Stamps: Pedaling Past (2010 – Summer Mini), Elements of Style (w-118611 – $33.95, c – 120045 – $24.95 (IB&C – p 133)

I came across another use for the 2-step Owl punch and yes, you can make roses using this punch. Valita’s blog has a video tutorial on how to accomplish this and you can check it out HERE.
The second card I have is a for a co-worker whose daughter just had a Baby girl. Barb is already Grandma to 2 little boys who live in another Province and this little Grand Daughter lives in the same town.
This card is based on a sketch at Paper Players for their challenge of the week. I know they would be happy if you played along. You can check it out HERE

Bambi and Thumper are so cute for Babies and I think they are promoting the movie Bambi right now. My grandson, though, is not too high on this movie because Bambi is left all alone in the woods. As he gets older, he will realize that life sometimes is cruel, but there are always friends and other loved ones that can be there for you. Enough with philosophy for the day.
PS, if you are wondering if I found what I was looking for, no I didn’t. It is likely gone to the recycling depot. Oh well, that’s what I get for cleaning up my office.
So, until next time….
Karen – I just love the vintage cards! You did a great job with the challenge, they both are very fun!
I adore BOTH of these cards, Karen!! What a great job you did on them and they are so fun and springy!

Karen, both cards are fabulous! However, the baby card is adorable. It brought a smile to my face just looking at it. I love the way you created the woodsy feel with the horizontal stamping. Fabulous card. So pleased you joined the Paper Players this week

The Vintage Summer Time is beautiful and love the color combo. thanks for the to the rose tut… so cool. One more thing to love the owl punch for! Hugs.
Both are lovely…I’m still trying to think of a Summer Vintage card!
I love both cards. I especially like the image you used in the second card although the first card is my favorite.
Both of these cards are just beautiful Karen. I love visiting Valita’s blog for fancy flower inspiration. I love your Forest Friends take on the great sketch….
Oh. I have always thought that the Forest Friends was just a darling set! Love the flowers you used on both of these cards as well. I often lose things…and go 1/2 out of mind trying to find them!
Good morning Karen,
Your cards are delightful! How correct is the sentiment – life is measured in moments.
Enjoy your weekend in Vancouver.
