Hey, friends!! Welcome to the Spring Control Freaks Blog Tour (you should have just arrived here fresh from the fabulous blog of LeeAnn Greff).
I kinda got carried away doing this ... with WHITE ... and with POLKA DOTS!! This was NOT what I had originally planned, since we are exploring springtime. It all started with my niece's wedding yesterday. There were some fun little boxes on the tables at the luncheon that someone had thought I had made (they were CUTE, but not THAT cute!!! hehehehe!!)
Soooo.....I decided to come home and dissect the box and make one of my OWN!! This is what I came up with. And since I know I am going to get asked, I WILL post a pattern for this some time in the next week.
It is kind of hard to tell from this picture, but this box is one whole piece ... you just pull the lid up and the top collapses into the inside of the box. You can KINDA tell from this picture. This are TOTALLY cool and fun!!Stamps: Tiny Tags
Paper: Bride dsp, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana
Ink: Melon Mambo
Accessories: Beautiful Wings Embosslits die, Little Leaves Sizzlets die, Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions embossing folder, Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon, 1/2" circle die
Which leads me to card #1 ... which ALSO has a lot of white ... and polka dots ... AND the little leaves, too!! I wasn't really planning a "theme" here ... it just kinda happened. When I finished this card and saw my little box sitting on the counter I almost laughed. Some of the funniest things happen when we're NOT thinking!!Stamps: Happy Together
Paper: Old Olive, Orchid Opulence, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Certainly Celery
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, Old Olive

And card #2 ... on which I PURPOSELY used WHITE and POLKA DOTS!! I decided to go for that clean and simple look ... something I don't do very often as it seems to be more of a challenge to me!! In any event, ALL of these projects make me feel SPRINGY, so hopefully I can will some sunshine into town instead of the cold and snow!Stamps: Flowers Awash, Vintage Labels
Paper: Rose Red, Regal Rose, Basic Black, Whisper White
