The Saltbox Sampler

Love Green

This card by Jen is so calming isn't it?  I really like the suddle palette-- 

My surprise is you'll get to see some very early peeks of our Hens and Chicks set and some of our next release sets.  Not just bits of a drawing, but the whole thing.    Rather than having to wait to do the whole sneek peek thing 5 days early,  and  because so many of you have inquired about these sets, I am just going to let y'all see what's ahead so you can really plan your purchases.   

Due to my health, I will most likely need to delay a few of the release sets simply because being such a small company  and so far away from all my DT members.

I will have Hens and Chicks available at the beginning of June.  The others I will keep you posted on. 

Have a lovely weekend.

Crazy, crazy, crazy

Here in St. Louis, our school year ends next week.  The past 2 weeks have just been crazy with the end of year things.  Having high schoolers, the last week is much calmer because it's all about finals. Nothing I am involved in--  So, hopefully, I can get to posting a bit more again.

I've chosen this card today because of a few things.  1.The "wire" Becky drew to hang the house 2.  The pink bird (is there such a thing?) 3.  The colors 4.  The simplicity and 5.  How she straightened the branch out.  That is what is so nice about clear stamps--so much more flexibility.

I have some surprises headed your way-- check back soon for update

Congrats to our DT member Lexi Daly  for being the published queen of late.  I can't wait to see what she submits with Saltbox stamps-

Picket fence + Picket House

Kelly did exactly what I hoped--she used the picket fence with the picket bird house.    The colors are yummy and th eribbon just makes it!  Thanks, Kelly.

Another card from Jen

Jen sent me yet another card I wanted to get posted.  For more of her beautiful creations check out her blog.  Her link is on on the left.

 

Thanks Jen

Jen has been a wonderful addition to our design team.  I have used all her cards here on the blog, so, I have not been able to post anymore.  Yesterday, I received a lovely treat-- and now you get to see it too.

Open House

This seems to be the  time of the year when many homes go on the market--this card from MAry Rose hits the spot!

Baby Shower

Elena seems to have the art of: simple + quick = elegant. Here is a baby shower card using the mobile from the Mama Mouse set. Her Communion invites on her blog are totally following her equation as well.

A new twist

I haven't seen this technique (make your own paper) done yet with the SBS images until Becky sent me this card.  I like how she also incorporated some A Muse Pretty Little Papers/tags into the design.  All images are from the Mama Mouse and More set.

splish splash i was takin' a bath

Kind of an annoying song to get stuck in your mind--but is just came to me when I saw this card.  I love this cardinal in the water--I actually thought about that when drawing it.  I may even add a few drops around him.  The birds in our back yard splash --big time.

Love this time of year

One of my absolute favorite things about Spring is the birds singing and chirping.  I get up very early and do my Bible time out on our deck and just listen.  Lexi really was clever with this card.  can't you just hear all the bird singing in the trees?
