Monday Montage #137

Welcome to the Monday Montage Blog Hop.  Make sure you stick around and check out everyone's creations.

I got to go to Stampin UP's On Stage.  I hooked up with Wendy W and Bree R and had a very enjoyable time hanging out. I love catching up with all my stamping buddies and will be really sad when they change the program to smaller and more frequent get togethers.  It was so much fun and really enjoyed seeing the new products, catalog and all the little do da's.  I fell in love with the Wild Rose set that Pam Morgan demonstrated at the Salt Lake event and knew I had to have it.

Monday Montage #136

Its April and the Forsythia is out all around which is a sure sign of spring.  The grounds at Temple Square downtown Salt Lake City are covered in hyacinths, daffodils and tulips.  The trees are budding their pretty pink flowers.  It makes me want to be outside any chance I have.  The thing is... this has been a really wet couple of months, which unless you have full rain gear its not so much fun to be outside.  Oliver doesn't like the rain either.  He sits on the porch and looks at me with eye's pleading to go back in under the blankets.  I get it!  Which is what we will be experiencing later this week...more RAIN!

 My card this week uses the wonderful Romance bundle.  If I remember correctly I won the stamp set at onstage in Florida.  So I had to get the dies.  Honestly there has been so much fun great stuff I haven't really pulled it out to use it.  

I used my blender pens to color the image.  Those good old blender pens are such a great standby.

Stamps:  Wonderful romance

Paper: Whisper White, Blueberry Bushel, Crumb Cake

Ink - Momento Black, Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green

Accessories - Braided linen trim, pearls, wonderful floral framelits

We Create In Color 2017-2019 Blog Hop

I am not sure why, without googling it, April Fools Day is a thing.  I have never been fond of pranks or being the target of someones joke.  Not my thing.  I have a relative that totally gets into this.  She actually paid a car repair shop to attach the horn to the brake in her husbands car.  So every time he hit the brake the car horn honked.  Can you imagine rush hour traffic in a major metropolis?   Yikes.  I felt really bad for him.

On to card making...We are using the in colors that were announced two years ago that are on their way out.  Get them while you can!!!  I am going to stock up on Lemon-Lime twist.  Such a bright fun color.

One of my BFF's and I got together to stamp a couple of cards.  She completed one and then another, while I didn't quite make it through this one.  For some reason I decided I needed to paper piece all the cut outs with the in colors.  Definitely makes for a fun lineup of presents, and a little time investment.  I love using all the "Stitched" framelits Stampin up has available and the Well Said stamp set that coordinates with those scripty word dies.  So versatile.  A must have!!!

Go check out Jeanna's blog to see what she came up with using this fun color combo....
