May Day, May Day!

Do I post gigantic graphics, or what?

Happy May Day everybody! Can you think of a better way to celebrate the first of May than with a virtual garden tour? (Okay, a real garden tour would also be totes awesome, BUT for this flowery frolic you can be in your pajamas, sans make-up, perhaps with a bit of bedhead, and nobody will ever know! Ain’t the internet grand?)

OHHHH my goodness have the Bloom Brigade been ever-so-busy cultivating these magnificent cards for our ALL DIGITAL May release week. THANK YOU, THANK YOU to each of them, such gorgeous artists and beautiful people! I have been so impressed with their floral card creations all week — seriously, they make me want to stop everything and pull out my watercolors. It’s a bit chilly in St. Louis this morning, so I’ll save my peony-plant-progress-peeping until later in the day, and will instead run around this blog hop to see everything they’ve made.

A quick note before I do. All of the images used in the cards for our May “Instant Garden” release (Peonies, Tulips, Gerbera Daisies, and Gladioli) are available as high-resolution digital images — so after you buy the set, you’ll get an email with your images in it, and you can start creating your own crafty garden right away! How cool is that? Again I say: Ain’t the internet grand?

So let’s get this May Day instant garden tour underway, and I hope you’ll visit each of our charming Bloom Brigade designer’s blogs for inspiration—PLUS—we have a special visit from the oh-so-delightful creative phenom, Dina Kowal. Today rules!!!!
