I Love Tulips!

Tulips have always been one of my favorite flowers.  When I was very young, I remember picking yellow tulips from my neighbor Miss Morgan's garden.  When I was in high school, I won a photography contest with an entry of a yellow tulip. And when we lived in the Netherlands, I even got to visit The Keukenhof.  I drove 2+ hours with a friend and my daughter Annika to see these magnificent gardens.  At that time Randy was in Afghanistan and it was my last chance to visit.  Here are some photos of my visit in April of 2004.  To me these photos look like they should be sold on postcards.









This photo is of me and Annika at the Keukenhof. I was a bit skinnier then.  There's still hope!

 You don't even want to know the anxiety that I went through to find those photos.  I thought we transferred them from our old computer to our new one.  But I couldn't find them on the computer or on the external hard drive.  I ended up finding them on my Snapfish account.  This means that other photos may have been lost.. I'm just sick about it!

Okay, so here's the card that you've been waiting for. I am really excited to share it!  The idea came from Jackie Topa.

Stamps: none

Paper: Sahara Sand, Whisper White. Pear Pizzazz. Pretty in Pink. So Saffron

Ink: Bashful Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Rose Red, Peach Parfait

Accessories: Blossom Petals punch, Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon



The flowers were made with the large leaf from the Blossom Petals punch.  The leaves were also made from the same shape then cut in half.  The base of the flower is the small wide petal.  I sponged all of the flower pieces. It's difficult to see in the photo,  but I also sponged the top and sides of the Whisper White card base with Bashful Blue ink.  After I photographed the card, I also sponged the bottom of the card with Pear Pizzazz.  But my computer anxiety is WAY too high right now to mess with any photos or any extra computing. I've got to decompress for a while!

Happy stamping!
