I thought it would be fun to add a couple of links to friends of mine who also blog. I find inspiration from their blogs and hope you do too.

My friend Nancy (aka Phantom) has a new line of stamps she has hand drawn. These beautiful stamps are available at Cornish Heritage Farms~ her line is called Shady tree studio. I love the varitey she offers and her true artist creativity just shines through her entire line. Her SCS gallery is another source of endless inspiration.

I hope you are as inspired by these creative girls as I am. Enjoy your spring day!

Happy Spring! I'm loving having the windows open and smelling the lilacs around my house. I made a sympathy card~ they are nice to have on hand. I used the cuddlebug embossing folder then rubbed ink over the raised images~ it really gives added depth. I also sponged the gingham to give it a vintage look.
