Transformation

 No better title for this one!

Had a great lunch at a farm-to-table restaurant in Cypress, Texas,

 in the Spring of 2022 with my sister & BIL. 

Afterwards, my brother-in-law photographed us. 

Of course my uninhibited older (I might add because she looks younger than me) sister decided to curl up her lip in funny fashion, unbeknownst to me! 

When I discovered this, I played along with the silliness.

We had a great time!

Here are the close ups of the beautiful flowers and butterflies.

I made a Spring English Garden with all the different types of flowers,

using daffodils, magnolias, roses, buttercups, tulips,

 cherry blossoms and aster daisies.

The stunning butterflies by ReneaBouquets always amaze me!

These, in particular, are exceptional!

Snippets from a panel of chipboard always add extra interest.

I stayed with the same shape used for the stenciling.

I made two almost identical layouts 

so that me and my sister could each have one!

Thanks for viewing!

Have a great day,

Lisa

Birthday Card 2022 for Vicki

I've been so busy packing and haven't been in a very creative mood lately, however, a couple of weeks ago

I made a simple birthday card for my sister's birthday.

She had been saying how much she loves pink and orange together.  

Indeed these two colors really do look great together.

 

I don't have much in the way of orange colors in my stash, 

so I've done the best I could with what I have.

I used plain light pink cardstock for the card. 

Orange and pink cardstock were die cut for the words 

using Sizzix Thinlits in the Tim Holtz line. 

Butterfly stickers I've had a very long time still make pretty decorations.  

I love these 3-dimensional stickers so much that I I have 3 packs of them (LOL!)

With the Springtime 'theme' I was going for, 

the shaker contains the cutest little Sprinkletz "Garden Party" shaker pieces. 

For added interest, so it wasn't so bare & boring, 

I stenciled some flowers using modeling paste & orange mica powder 

by Lindy's Gang called "Hag's Wart Orange".

This serves as the background for the shaker.

I'm pleased to have made a very cheerful card for my sister,

 even as simple & elementary as it may be. 

Thanks for viewing....

Have a wonderful & very blessed day!
