Ruffled and Inspired Tulips

Well, I've been home-bound all week with sick boys....so the thought of spring is really appealing to me! Last fall I planted a bunch of tulips and can't wait to see them come up this spring.

The Inspiration Challenge at SCS shows the amazing art of Glenda Mosher, oh MY she is so talented..it's no wonder so many of her painting bear the watermark "sold".

I picked this beautiful tulip field painting full of reds, oranges, yellows and greens.

Here are my tulips!

I've watercolored them, trimmed them out and placed them on a stamped nestability rectangle, which I also sponged. I really love this paper too, it's K & Co Que Sera Sera....it has such a great collage feel with fantastic colors.

And look at this amazing ribbon! It's SILK...new from Flourishes. It ties just amazingly

And here's my two sickies at work today on cards. I generally let my kids stamp with me, but just on scrap paper, today we made full cards together. You should have seen the joy in their eyes to use REAL cardstock. I was watching our little one as he was looking at his completed card - and he didn't see me watching him...but he had this look of absolute delight and pride in his work. Oh it just made my heart dance. It reminded me again, that yes when they stamp with me, I really don't get much done, because I'm helping them...but oh how good it makes them feel!


You can see they're both not feeling well, they're not quite themselves...but they are sure precious!


Thanks for stopping by today!
