While their brilliant beauty glows...





We've had one go around with the March Stampendous Challenge to make a shaped card or project - (something other than the traditional square or rectangular card) and now it's time for round 2. Last week I made a squeezed card with an inverted square die as the card base shape. This week it's going to shape up around the house.




I think I'm ready for some color to come back to earth. So while I wait I'll bring some inside the house. I really had a hard time coming up with a shape for this challenge. A light went on and it was so much fun to put together and quick too. I said I was in love with the Jumbo flowers sets before, right? I fell in love all over again using the Jumbo Tulip Stamp Set for my project today. They are so much fun... I know I already said that but really they are!


I decoupaged some green tissue paper around an old baby food jar. It was holding a few crafty items on my desk, but I think it's happier all dressed up with flowers and a bow. The flowers are stamped with Tuxedo Black and colored with copic markers, but spring time means new and glittery things, so I added some Crystal Embossing Enamel. The May Arts ribbon is perfect with this ensemble of tulips.




Can you see this with your own favorite tulips or maybe even a variety of them? It's also just perfect to sit on your coffee table and enjoy it for you.

The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
