We are thrilled to have Michele Ferguson back with us for another incredible post that will inspire you to make beautiful projects for your friends!  If you missed learning more about Michele and seeing her first post that will stun you with their loveliness CLICK HERE.


Now, it's Michele's time to sparkle and shine...      

Hello again!  I'm back this week for a few more of my favorite ways to use Winnie & Walter products ... so many ways, one day just wouldn't do! 

I seem to design "in the round"!  Does that make sense to any of you?  In other words, when an idea strikes, I set about putting it to paper ... sometimes, while creating the first, another design will come about - like with the positive and negative idea from last week. 

This week [besides those carrots] I've latched onto a few favorite colors, or color combos, and just let my Winnie & Walter products shine - with a bit of my own favorite touches thrown in - like texture*, and humor ... does anyone appreciate my sense of humor?  =|

Enter exhibit #1: Yes, black IS one of my favorite colors!

Hello Cutaway - adapted by simply turning

the die around, and partial die-cutting!

Pretty little leaves from Maggie's Roses... and a snippet for

the perfect placement of the perfect word - found
in the "Big, Bold and Happy" set.

Card #2:  Putting the accent on the happy green with another way to say hello:

Hi Cutaway - this time the positive cut, and perfect
words from The Big, the Bold and Seasons - welcome;
and The Big, the Bold and Extras - home, and the beautiful banner.

You had to know I planned ahead while cutting that hi - right?

Enter card #3:

In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet has a very, very special place in my heart.
Darling yellow roses - My Mom's favorite, and mine -
strategically placed, they do indeed 'dot the i.'

My final card is my way to say 'thank you' to Winnie & Walter for inviting me to share my creations using their fabulous products.   Also for their generous hearts, and continued support of all of us, and our love of paper-crafting.  I am pretty new to this blogging world, so I can't help but feel ever so special to be among those of you Winnie and Walter have shone their ever-lovin' spot-light on!

For you, Shay & Julie:

Another one of Lola's Blooms - this time in orange - another favorite color, and a remake of this card - I couldn't wait to make that cool square vase!
Hugs provided by The Big, the Bold and Friends Cutaways and Stamps.
LOve that brilliant hand-written font!

Thanks for hanging out with me today, and thanks always for all the love and sweet comments from you, my card-loving, card-making, fabulous friends!

  9. Michele, I will never tire of your cards or your humour. I love all of these cards, but your Lola one uplifts the heart too. I followed it back to your original Lola post with that gorgeous yellow rose bud in a vase... Gotta hand it to W&W. Such a gorgeous assortment of special stamps. Your 'Michele magic' makes them shine! Xx
