Apparently, I took a break. Sorry for my absence from my blog and commenting on your blogs. Hopefully, I can get back into the swing of things. It has taken me some time to adjust to my new school year. Lots of extra stuff piled on an already full plate leaves me a little lifeless at the end of the day. The energy is gone, but the desire is still here! Making this card today sure put an extra bounce in my step and I know I need that creative fix every day. I think that is part of my problem!
Today's card is brought to you by Make It Monday. Lisa Johnson had a great video today and I had the day off, so it was a perfect combination!

| In Bloom stamps/die, Tiny Tags stamps/die, Wood Grain IP |
After seeing Lisa's video, I went on the search in my collection for a stamp that needed to be colored in, but provided enough details to use the blender pen with. In Bloom was my choice; I don't use this set enough. I die cut the flowers, stamped them in Pure Poppy and then used Lisa's technique to color them. After I die cut a panel with Mat Stack 4, I ran it through my Big Shot with the Woodgrain Impression plate and added flower, ribbon and tag. On a panel of Spring Moss I stamped the leaves, and then mounted everything on a Spring Moss base.

I'm very excited about the new stuff coming out this week at PTI. It's Day 1 and I already have a list of stuff that I want and the total is a bit frightening!
