One of my favorite sightings in Maine are the lupines that bloom along a stretch of road near here every June. The long, sweeping patches bursting with purples, blues and pinks are always breathtaking.

Lupines... my favorite Maine wildflowers!

Unfortunately lupines aren’t around for very long, but while they are here they really do make quite an impact. So this week I’m celebrating my favorite wildflower and prolonging their season by featuring my #1711-K Lupine image for our Stamp of the Week. And just look at all the beautiful cards our Rock Stars have created to inspire you!

Happy Monday everybody! Today we’re offering our #1317-L Vase of Tulips image for our Stamp of the Week feature. I just love, love tulips… especially pink ones!

Today we’re sharing a couple of cards from guest artist, Janet Bagnall. I met Janet when she came to shop in our booth at the convention in Columbia, SC last year. She’s a very sweet person and left quite an impression on me. No pun intended!

Janet attended the SC show again this past February and stopped by for another visit. We got to chatting about my plans for Repeat’s blog. In addition to my dream of spotlighting a new Design Team, Stamp of the Week, and challenges, I spoke about wanting to share some of the projects created by Repeat’s talented customers too. Janet was kind enough to agree to be my first victim… oops, I mean, guest artist! ;-)

She recently created these lovely, Springy cards for us with a Mother’s Day theme. And what better time to share them with all of you! This first card features our 904-L, Daffodils and 1137-E, Mother’s Day stamps.

This second card features our 1317-L, Vase of Tulips and 4019-H, A mother’s love stamps.

You can get to know Janet a little better and see what else she’s been creating by visiting her blog, Life Full of Sunflowers.

Thank you for visiting today. And don’t forget to stop by again on Monday when the Rock Stars bring you our next Stamp of the Week feature.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Mother’s Day!
