Spring has sprung in Northwest Pennsylvania.  It was such a beautiful day today and I started thinking about how to capture spring on cards.  Not just one, but a bunch.  A lot, a bevy, a crap load.  Anyway, more than one.  I watched a really old Christmas craft video courtesy of my friend Linda Edwards.  She said she loved Carol Duvall and got me hooked on watching old videos of her.  One of them was with a very young Tim Holtz.  He was showing how to make a lot of Christmas cards using a very simple technique.  GENIUS, I thought, because I love the four blue birds stamp by Carolyn Shores Wright, but have been using watercolor pencils and painstakingly hand painting every bird.  It takes a while, but it is worth it.  This new idea might make this process so much easier.  Well you will just have to wait and see.  If it’s a huge fail, you’ll never see it, but, in the off-chance that it works, it will be on video within the next couple of days.  I’m really crossing my fingers on this one.  Cross yours too so we can double our luck, or even triple it.

So that’s the plan.  It will be an Easter miracle if it works.  You’ll be the first to know if it does, and the last to know if it doesn’t.
