Celebrating You with Joyful Squares

 For my card today I've tried to focus on the Joyful Squares bundle and the Square Snippets Designer Series Paper.  Both are so good and really didn't get their time in the spotlight.  I barely had received them when they put on the last chance list.  I do so love all the different patterns there are in the DSP.  You get 3 sheets each of four double-side designs.  The back sides of the paper are not squares and the pattern is very subtle, while you get so many squares on the front side.  There are two designs with 4" squares and two designs with 3" squares.  I love how you can mix and match them, it's so much fun and there are a lot of possibilities!  To watch the YouTube video tutorial on how I put this card together, click this link.

Ladybug Birthday in 2026-2028 In Colors

For my card today I wanted to focus on the new 2026-2028 In Colors which will debut on May 5.  I had this vision to stamp the ladybugs in a row and color one in each color...then decided I really needed to use the Peaceful Pine to color my foliage rather than a ladybug.  I started with a sketch (of which this card looks absolutely nothing like except for the rectangle lol), then dove in and this is the result.  I am rather pleased with the looks of it.   It just goes to show you how you can start with an idea or sketch and it's only a jumping off point for your creativity.  To watch the YouTube video tutorial on how I put this card together, click this link.
