This is my second entry into the new Power Poppy “Blossom Challenge” which currently features Spring flowers. I looked through my Power Poppy stamps and digis and chose one with Daisies, one of my favorite flowers! (To my friends at Power Poppy- I was born in southern Iowa and lived there the first 6 years of my life. I remember that daisies bloomed earlier there than they do here in northern Wisconsin, where they are just now popping up! So, if they are not considered to be Spring flowers, please delete my entry!) An added Note- this digi is from a set that is a FREEBIE, plus right now you can purchase a large number of Spring floral digi sets at 25% off! So you, too, can join in the fun!

·   Digi- Power Poppy Digital Stamp that is FREE (Kindness is the Way)

Snippets offered a challenge last week to honor the Queens 70^th Platinum Jubilee. I had fun creating a Crazy Quilt using paper scraps in rich (regal) colors and patterns, plus satin ribbon, and strips of silver and gold trim. A sweet Corgi (Queen's favorite breed) plus a freebie Jubilee “brad”, sparkly crown stickers and computer-generated sentiments finish the fun card.  

PS For those of you that want to share the excitement of the Jubilee with kids/grandkids, Dover Publishers has released a wonderful paperdoll  book. You can find it HERE

I wanted to make another card in honor of the Queen's Jubilee and this cute digi created by my friend Francesca, owner/artist of Cute As A Button Digistamps works beautifully! The pink and purple balloons are made with scraps of plastic index divider sheets. (Sometimes called document file folders, these create additions to card making. They can be found in the office supply section of most stores, come in a pack of assorted colors, are translucent, easy to fussy-cut with a sharp pair of scissors, and you can write on them with permanent markers, which is how I traced the balloons from the digi onto the plastic!)

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Cute As A Button Digital Stamp (I’m Two)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen and Sharpie black permanent fine-line marker

·   Inside Sentiment- TLC Creations Freebie (Party Like a Princess)

·   Sparkly/jeweled crown stickers from JoAnnes and Hobby Lobby

·   Cardstock, pink dotted paper, and other items from my stash.
