<span style="font-family: Arial;">For release day we get to choose whichever set we would like and today I chose<strong><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/lilac-time"> Lilac Time</a></strong>. It is so pretty. Lilacs and lemons all set off by a beautiful vase. I colored up my image with Copic markers. It fit perfectly inside my Spellbinders circle die. Then I stitched and used the larger lilac stamp for my background panel. Hope you have enjoyed this month's release sets. I love them all. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">March's digital release from Power Poppy was a beautiful Daffodil arrangement. Well this month it gets even better. Check this bouquet out. The only thing that could be better than this is if it were literally in my garden. The cold snap we had got all mine this year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not to worry though, as I can wishfully drool over these stamps. It is so beautiful and a dream to color. Check out the Power Poppy blog for all the details from Marcy. This set will be available April 1st <strong><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/daffodils">HERE</a></strong>. I chose to keep my daffodils simple and lightly colored with oranges, yellows and greens. I then colored my grape Hyacinths a deep purple. It's a set full of encouraging sentiments also. </span></div>

Can you believe it has been a year since Marcella took a huge leap of faith and started to share her dreams and talent with all of the world. Today we are celebrating that one year mark with a huge bash Marcy style. The design team has created some surprise eye candy just for Marcy and all of you to honor this big day. For my card today I chose this awesomely adorable set called Short Stacks. It is available over at Power Poppy <strong><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/short-stacks-stamp-set">HERE</a></span></strong>. <br />

One of the things I love the most about all of this is that it is a surprise for Marcy and you all get to join in. </div>

We were each to write a personal message telling Marcy how much we adore her. She is so easy to love. Her nature is the kindest of the kind. So here is my little note to her:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

From the bottom of my heart thank you so much for bringing me along on your journey this last year. I know this was a dream come true for you and we are all so proud of you. You work so hard and it shows. You have mind blowing talent but what is really neat is your heart is so full of love. It has been amazing to look through the windows of your soul when you share all the posts. Your style and unique images are at the top of the class in the stamping community. You bring a flower to life when you create. I really enjoy finding out all about what inspires you with each new stamp. That is my favorite part about release week. That inside look is what I think about when I am coloring up an image. You make me want to plant every flower you create in my garden here in NC. You have really opened up my eyes and educated me on all the fabulous plants and flowers that I didn't even know existed. I think an artist that can not only create, but educate others, is what makes you really really talented and a notch above all others. Going that extra step is always on your to do list. May the next year bring you many wonderful and magically inspired moments. I will be cheering you on and wishing you all the best.</div>

Back in January Ally, being the superstar that she is, created a tutorial for Paper Toling. You can find it here..<b>.<a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2015/01/camellias-paper-tole-tutorial.html">Paper Tole</a>. </b>I thought this was the perfect set to try out that technique.

My own daffodils are amazing right now. I hope they can withstand the harsh weather we are going to get. 80 one day and 40 the next. Good thing they are hardy.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love to read. This set is so sweet. I always wanted a pet bird. The closest I ever got was a pet chicken. It would ride around on my shoulder. I colored up this set with a bunch of different Copic markers. Sorry I forgot to document. Coffee, a good book and my reading glasses. I chose the Carta Bella paper called Yesterday by Lori Whitlock. I also wanted to frame my image with this die cut from a sweet friend. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am still practicing with my new camera. It is a huge learning curve. I stamped my Orchid image out onto X-Press It cardstock and then I colored with R14, R24, and R27 Copic colors. I cut my image out and lined it up with the side of my image. The doily is a special gift from a friend. You are going to love the sentiments in this set. Lots of encouragement. I am sending this to my daughter who is looking for a new job due to her company closing. This is her second time finding a job within a year. </span></div>

I wanted to keep my image soft to match this paper, and little heart I found while cleaning and purging my stamping room. I also colored the tag and the tape but I have been practicing with a different camera and I finally think I got the look I wanted but it wiped out my gray colors on my tape and sentiment. So back to the drawing board as they say. This rose is so easy to color up and can be found here in the Power Poppy Store: <b><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/rose">La Vie En Rose</a>.

This beautiful newly released digital image from Power Poppy is called Winter Pick Me Up. I realize that the Galanthus ‘Ophelia’ that Marcy illustrated are not usually orange and yellow. I have a sweet friend that had us over for dinner and her favorite color is orange so I wanted to give her a little thank you. (she doesn't know I stamp so it will be an extra surprise). I just love the pussy willows that Marcy included. The lady that took care of my sisters and I had pussy willows and we would pick them and rub them on our cheeks. They were soft and fuzzy. Great memories. </div>

I am having major computer issues today so this will be short and sweet. I created this card using Power Poppy's newly released set called O Holy Night. It is available here: <b> <a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/o-holy-night">O HOLY NIGHT</a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully you can see that I added a little stain glassed coloring to my front window. Our church has the most incredible stain glassed windows and as I sit and listen to our Pastor I am surrounded by them. When the sun shines in they are so beautiful. I kept this card simple as I was going for a masculine card. I pray for Peace the most at Christmas time.</div>

For Christmas every year I give my daughters a little gift for each of the 12 days before Christmas. It is so much fun to come up with different ideas. I spend the entire year planning and crafting for it. This year I decided to make a gift tag to go along with my little daily write up. </div>

Power Poppy's<b><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/collections/happiest-holiday-collection"> Merry Littles </a></b>is the perfect set for that. I cut out my tags with an old die I had and then stamped and colored with Copics. Each one is sponged with Tim Holtz ink for a vintage look. This is such a fun set and perfect for tag making. </div>

I stamped out my images twice and watercolored them on hot pressed watercolor paper. I cut out each bird and popped them up. Watercoloring the sets this week was so much fun. I gave my little birds some red. I thought it was perfect for a festive holiday card. This set along with all the other sets will be available for sale tomorrow over on the Power Poppy Blog. This specific set will be <b><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/heaven-and-nature-sing/">HERE</a></b>.</div>

I got out my watercolors again this week to color up this set. I stamped it with Stazon onto HotPressed watercolor paper. I then used Tim Holtz reinkers to color up the trees and create the sky. I was trying to create a night scene. We always head to our little church in the woods for a candlelight service on Christmas Eve. One of my favorite days of the year. I added some tiny diamonds for my sky to look like stars. I love this set. Did I say that already..I really do.</div>

This set is so beautiful. I loved coloring up the bell, holly and ornaments. I chose some blue, red, and green Copics. I kept the background very simple so that this stamp could speak for itself. As you can see from the above graphics there are two gorgeous stamps full of coloring possibilities. </div>

I decided to try something just a little different this week. I dug out and dusted off my watercolors. After seeing Marcella's gorgeous watercoloring <b><a href="http://powerpoppy.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-little-art-therapy-with-my-coffee.html">HERE</a></b> last week I wanted to see if I remembered how. I used Tim Holtz's reinkers. I also highlighted with some Stampin UP Markers. I always use hot pressed watercolor paper as I feel it holds the water on top longer and gives you more spreadability.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose the newly released set called<b><a href="http://powerpoppy.com/products/bottlebrush-holiday"> Bottle Brush Holiday</a></b>. Marcella has me totally in love with bottle brush trees now too. It brings back memories of Christmas traditions of long ago. I really like these old fashioned glass bulbs. <br />
Check out what a few of the Bloom Brigade also have for you..<br />

I used light pink acrylic paint and stamped on the acetate with Stazon ink. I stamped the sentiment and cut out the word HOPE. I thought it was perfect for October. </span><br />
