April Spotlight: Spring Fling


This month's colors, Bermuda, Lime, Grass, Buttercup, and Mermaid, are such a subtle reminder that Spring is on the way (or possibly already here -- in Texas, anyway).

I have begun to unpack the craft room -- one of the few rooms that is not waiting for the (backordered) carpet to be installed, and am finally able to dig out some of the fun things from the new catalog. One of the new sets I know I will get a lot of use out of is called silver lining -- a great set of rain (and rainbow) related sayings with some fun clouds (although I also snatched up the cloud dies before they retired, and they will get used with this set as well!) Unfortunately the first card I made with it is because someone dear to me had emergency surgery this week. She is now recovering in ICU and although visitors are not yet allowed, cards are always welcome!

All AMuse Studio products, including the silver lining set
This card was quick to come together -- although you probably can't see the shine of the raindrops, a special touch for a special lady. A nice "get well soon" from the essential sentiments set finished off the inside and left plenty of room for a note. 

I have been working on the idea of a "You are my sunshine" page about my son, and the silver lining set has a nice "you make me happy when skies are grey" to complete that, which I am excited about. Yep, this set is going to see use in a variety of projects . . .

I'm glad to be back in my craft room, and hope to have time to try out the other new sets I got, really very soon!

Happy stamping,
Christina
