~ Quilting Friends are the Best! ~

Good morning!  The weather is a bit dreary here.  I keep reminding myself that April showers bring May flowers.  I can't wait to see some of my late spring favorites come into bloom...  the iris, peonies and cabbage rose...  And speaking of my Grandmother's cabbage rose...  here is a fun card I made in almost the exact shade of rich pink!

 

 

I started with a white card stock base cut at 4.25 inches x 11 inches, scoring and folding at 5.5 inches

I added a rich raspberry mat featuring Boho Bolds Paper Pad

Our Daily Bread Designs April Release and Blog Hop

Happy April Fool's Day!  I have nothing but treats to share today BECAUSE it is release day at Our Daily Bread Designs!  It is truly a blessing to be able to share such beautiful and fun products with you each and every month.  This one is particularly special for me because it features sewing and quilts!  I have several quilts passed down from my grandmothers, great-aunts and my own mother.  I love the stories the fabric tells.  My Mom, who will be 80 this year, likes to point out the pieces of fabric feed sacks that went into the quilts her own mother made.  I love looking at the quilts my own mother has meticulously hand stitched.  And even though I have ZERO talent when it comes to fabric...  at least I can play with paper! 

So here is the first project featuring A Time to Mend stamp set, Star Quilt Die and new Americana Quilt Paper Collection.
