Host Mary Gunn had Justin Adkins (@justanotebyjustin) as her guest. Justin taught a class at Scrapbook.com's March 2026 SBC Fest. I shared the card I made based on his class HERE. Justin was making his 1st appearance on Craft Roulette and he did great! The wheel confounded me for a bit so I didn't finish during the show as I like to do...
- Project - Card with Tag: I made an A2 card with little tags on my bouquet.
- Colors - Aquarium: Blue for water & green for seaweed.
- Element - March: Spring starts in March here.
- Random - Twist(S): I used baker's twine since it's a twist of 3 strands.
Yesterday I mentioned just receiving a Gina K. order on Thursday. I couldn't resist using the new-to-me Forget-Me-Not stamp set. I had ordered it to use for our Die Cut Divas March Challenge - Spring after learning that these are Spring flowers. Oh well, I used it before my end-of month post...
Stamped, die cut and colored the bouquet using Copics. Die cut a Nordic background and added to an A2 card, then popped up the bouquet with foam tape. Die cut 3 bitty tags & tied them with baker's twine and glued to the bouquet. Adhered a "happy" strip on one tag and "spring" on another. The third tag is more of a charm, an open heart. Done! Note to self - do not pick a large stamp to color if you want to finish a card quickly! Not that I had to finish during the show but I find it fun to try.
I will add this card to Darnell's March NBUS Challenge #84 since the stamps were newly used here. I will also join in at We Love Stamping using the Anything Goes option &, update - thanks for the reminder, Carol - to Stamping Sensations March Challenge Spring or Anything Goes. I haven't played there in quite a while! Also, thanks to Carol, I'll join in the March Challenge at A Place to Start which is a new one for me. There it's No Squares or Anything Goes this month.
Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!

Linda, your card sure does evoke springtime. Great you got through those prompts with this sweet card.
Your forget-me-nots look so pretty on the Poppystamps die cut, Linda! This is a wonderful card!
such a beautiful card Linda. The forget-me-nots are so pretty against that gorgeous background,
Striking use of colour Linda, the blue Forget-me-nots really pop against the fresh greens of the backing elements. Lovely to see you at We Love Stamping challenge, thanks so much for joining us.

Beautiful Spring card and beautiful forget-me-nots. This would also be perfect for our Spring challenge at Stamping Sensations and our No Square challenge at A Place to Start too.

Really fresh and pretty Linda, this is lovely! A bit fiddly to colour with all those separate flower heads though, I’m not surprised it scotched your plans to finish during the show.
A really beautiful card, brings back lovely memories of masses of Forget-me-nots in my childhood garden. Love the background die and the green too. Thank you so much for joining us in our challenge at We Love Stamping. Good Luck and I hope you will join us in our next challenge.

WOW, what an eye catching design! I love the colors of the flowers and those cute ittle tags you added too! Sorry I've been absent for some time, life got in the way...
My forget-me-nots are just starting to bloom too. Your card is beautiful; I've never seen it used as a stamp motif before.
It's beautiful!!!
What a gorgeous take on the CR parameters, Linda! Everything about this card just says "Spring!".
A lovely bouquet! I laughed at the "do not pick a large stamp to color if you want to finish a card quickly."
thank you for sharing this creation with us at A Place To Start - no Square challenge, hope to see you again soon
Beautifully colored flowers, Linda! Very sweet Spring card!
Adore everything about your card. The bright green background is so happy and shows off the nordic "lace". The forget-me-nots are so pretty and bright and I love the sweet tags for the sentiment. Amazing card, Linda! xx
Beautiful coloring on your lovely forget-me-nots, Linda and a pretty die cut behind it! Wonderful little tag sentiments too! Julia xx
The forget-me-nots look lovely against the fresh green background. A lovely card.
Thanks for sharing at Stamping Sensations. Avril
