Thank you very much! Sending Hugs!

I talk about using those fun snippets we find in our stash - these lovely Citrus Blooms products I borrowed from Marcia really should be shared here before we get together again!  We're looking so forward to it - fingers crossed, my friend!

Here are my cards - one GREAT BIG Thank You, and a Sending Hugs [of the birthday variety that has been delivered!]


Don't you just love this sweet little
scalloped frame from Pinkfresh?  
That wonderful big bold thank you [I treated it to a bit of ombre inking]
from The Stamp Market?  Bought on clearance, sorry.
Did you happen to notice this is one BIG shaker card??  
The postman is going to
have fun delivering that one!


I've had fun with my Perfect Sentiment set from Pinkfresh - I stamped, and
cut LOTS of them all at once to have on hand.
There's that scalloped frame again - this time I took another PF Essentials die
and 'debossed' it.  another way to use those frame dies, my friends.

Thanks, Marcia for sharing your crafty goodies!  And to all of my other friends for stopping by today.  Hope your week has gotten off to a great start!

Lisa Elton said...

Oh, I LIKE these!! The colors just make me happy. Your shaker is FUN and who wouldn't love one of your hugs as a birthday gift!!

These are so gorgeous and citrusy I could just eat them up!

Such bright and cheerful colors, Michele! These cards are delightful. Just the right thing to bring a smile to one's face. I've been leery of sending shaker cards in the mail(because of the thickness and noise), but tried it last week. It should have arrived a week ago today. No sign of it yet. :( Guess I'll stick to hand delivering those cards or sticking them into a box to muffle the sound. Hope you have a happy day!

I'm reaching for a sip of my lemon water right now. Cheers to your beautiful citrus blooms that look so refreshing on the white scallops!

All these glorious citrus-y colors just make these card gorgeous. Do love that scalloped frame...it's perfect on both cards. The ombre coloring on your words looks amazing against that creamy white.

Love the clean look of these cards and the very pretty frames. What a great way to do a shaker card too. A little bit of extra joy when you look more closely. Love the colours too xx

Bobby said...

Full of fun and Spring, Michele. The colors are wonderful, as are the layers, and a shaker too? Wow!

Brenda said...

Gorgeous cards Michele, love that big shaker on the first one and yes, I do love those sweet scallop dies you used!! I also love those flowers and how you colored them, that big bold sentiment is so fun and love your ombre effect. Your second card is so sweet and dainty. Love the smaller scallop frame popped up and the larger one debossed on the background. And there are those lovely flowers again, so sweet, so delicate, so dainty looking. Thanks for sending a little spring fever my sweet friend! Hugs, Brenda

Two lovely cards, Michele! The blooms and the frames are just so pretty! You can see and hear a huge appreciation from the first card. :-) Love the combination of the debossed frame and the die-cut scallop frame of the second card!

I hadn't noticed those flowers - your cards definitely put them on my wishlist! I really love how you intertwined them with the big sentiment!
