Good Vibes and Sneak Peeks...

Hi there, friends! Hope you’re ready for a weekend of spring flowers unfurling at every turn — that’s how it feels in my garden right now at least. I wish you all could come by for a tour. I had a wonderful visit with a special customer and friend, Jo Ann Danchik, when she was in town last week. I think it’s safe to say that we left our gathering filled to the brim with good vibes. 


Good Vibe 1. Go Outside for Instant Inspiration 
There is way too much beauty bursting out every day of spring — soak up the gifts of nature to inspire your next creation. For photos of my garden, visit me on Instagram @marcellahawley



Good Vibe 2. Join Our Sketch Challenge 
Julie Koerber is enticing us to create a card using the cutest sketch — it’s simple to put together and look at the results! Join us today and you might win $25 to spend at Power Poppy. 
Stamp used: Sunset Sway digital.



Good Vibe 3. Sneak Peek
I’ve been drawing, drawing, drawing my friends, and the fruits of this terrific toiling will soon be available in digital format... and in our upcoming clear stamp release as well. Keep your eyes peeled for a humming good time with flowers galore!


Good Vibe 4. Under Glass Arriving in Digital 
On May 5th we’ll have FIVE new images to share in our digital download department. The illustrations from my Under Glass clear stamps will be available both with and without the glass cloche, with a new sentiment pairing for each. Collect ’em all.



Good Vibe 5. Bring Out the Color and Pattern 
This past Monday, we honored what would have been my mom, Susan’s 75th birthday. I had to share this photo of her taken in graduate school (she got her Master’s degree in painting) — and while her abstract artwork is super cool and was cutting edge at the time — it is her pants that steal the show. Let’s all channel a little Susan Heard Smith by wearing something colorful this weekend, eh?



Good Vibe 6. A Sunshine-y Card to Life Your Spirits
Allison Cope has been very busy creating all week long — and that woman came up with the neatest composition using our Chrysanthemum XL clear stamp. Come take a look and leave Ally some love. 

Thanks for stopping by today, friends. Wishing you a totally awesome weekend!

Oh Marcella, your mom looks amazingly beautiful on this picture!!! those pants, my goodness, what a fabulous trip down memory lane.
Thank you for the Good Vibes my dear, we all need those at times and for the sneak peek at this gorgeous Humming Bird set.
We finally got some much needed sun and warmer temperatures yesterday so my Pansies and Violas are smiling at us on the flower beds.
And yes, yes, that sketch by Julie is awesome, I submitted a card already, I'm going for seconds.
Hope all is fabulous with you, Marcy.
Hugs.
