This has been one of the coldest winters I've experienced since moving to Wisconsin. We have had a great deal of snow (which I LOVE!) but it has been too cold to go snowmobiling! (boo : ( hoo!) I decided to "warm up" my blog with some color! and this week I have created some cards that will have you reaching for your sun glasses!
I was inspired by some terrific card ideas in the August/September issue of Papercrafts magazine. The designers created cards using simple black and white paper and then adding some bright colors using markers. Recently, after taking a VIP, Jennifer, to the airport (wink, Jenny) I stopped in to an Archivers store. Getting to go to Archivers really helped to numb the pain of saying goodbye to my sweet niece. It is a treat I rarely get to have - as the closest Archivers is almost 3 hours away from me. I was thrilled to find 5 different black and white papers by "Doodlebug Design, Inc." Plus a HORRIBLY! expensive sheet of black and white butterfly paper from the "Rusty Pickle" Pop Star Collection.
I finally had some time to play with the papers this week and -> as suspected <- I had a blast! and I think the outcome is just sweet!
Thank you for looking! and Stay warm!!

Awesome cards, the colors are great. I especially love the bird card.
At least you have snow to show for your cold... we just have cold & not one single snowflake! I'm jealous! Love your cards, especially the one at the bottom with the flower. You've been busy!
Patti,
That bird is so pretty. Love the black and white with punches of color.
