Wouldn’t you just love to receive this great big HELLO in the mail! I sure would. This was created by Heike.

She said that she used scraps of paper to make the background strips of blue, green and yellow. And then she printed out the word on her computer and cut out the letters. She added the critters popping out which I think are just so cute!

Oh what a lovely card. Linda sent this in and can’t you just feel the warmth of the sun.

I think her use of dimension is just perfect. Oh how it’d be so nice to stand in front of that window. :)

Wanda sent in this great card featuring the kids of Maple Lane. As if it wasn’t festive enough with the red, white and blue color scheme – she threw in those great yellow stars with button centers. I also love the paper punch she chose, it makes it look like a decorated bandstand to me.

All ya need is love…ok well maybe that and some cookies. :)

Annie sent in this card and I thought it was too cute – all the little hearts floating around a loveable bear. Annie, being the artist she is, drew the big red heart and then punched out the little ones. This card is sure to let someone know that you love them.

This great project was sent in by Annie. If you’ve ever needed a calendar but maybe didn’t want to stamp every month this is a great alternative.

Annie decided to stamp 4 scenes, one for each season. What I thought was clever was her use of materials you could probably find at the local office supply.

She started with one of those acrylic frames used to hold pictures (or whatever). She slipped a piece of blue paper inside the frame. She used a binder clip to secure the stamped seasonal picture to the frame so it could be easily changed. Lastly, she used pre-printed small calendar for the months that’s attached to the frame.

Such a clever project!

Isn’t this the cutest! Danielle sent this in and I thought, hmmm, with the weather around the country being what it has been there are probably quite a few snow tasters out there!

I love her little bits of sparkly snow!

Annie created this cute little card – I’m sure we can relate!

She stamped the windows, stairs, word bubble and little girl, but drew in the rest. She colored everything with Copic markers.

Wanda created this very cute birthday card. I love the circle and the scalloped one underneath – a really nice way to make an image stand out. That, and she actually cut the bear out and used thick tape behind him so he’s dimensional.

I worked on this for quite some time and FINALLY finished. I was inspired by a project that Cathrine over at Paper Garden Projects created last year (I believe).

I started with chipboard shapes and covered each with a different piece of paper. I added snow with some white molding paste and before it dried sprinkled it with glitter. For the ice on the skating pages I used Diamond glaze. I made all the backgrounds first and then added the little kids and such on top. It was a labor of love for sure.
