Summer Mini Sneak Peek

Here are two cards I put together using the new stamp set Fabulous Floret from the Summer Mini Catalog. It also features a few techniques that I had never tried before. Stayed tuned for info. on a technique class I will be starting in the middle of May.

With five SU! workshops and four craft shows within the past 4 weeks I am certainly keeping busy. On top of that, my wonderful son is walking around like crazy now and we spend most of our day playing kitchen, playing outside, or just pulling all our toys out of the toy boxes! Here are a couple cards I made recently for a birthday party and for a swap that I am participating in.
