Happy Easter!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you an Easter card that I made using the new postage Easter stamps from Waffle Flower.  It was so easy to make this card!  I used distress ink for the background and stamped the images in black.  I then added Wink of Stella on the images for interest.  The orange background of the base was made using paper from Sunny Studios.  A few gems to finish the card.

My chocolate crocheted bunny that I made using the wheat stitch pattern from Briana K.  I watched her You tube video for the head and ears.  But, I do suggest to buy the pattern for the body.  I thought I could do it without the pattern, but nope, lol!  I made the body bigger and rounder and one ear isn't perfect, but for my first bunny I am happy with the result.  

Here is a view of her back end with her bunny tail...

I have one more crochet project to share with you...

I used the shell stitch with this afghan.  It's difficult to tell by the photo, but the color is light blue.  This baby afghan will be sent to a nephew.  He and his wife will welcome a new baby boy in May!

Ok, my friends that's all for today.  This ole gal is excited to get her new glasses today.  I've really noticed that it's difficult to see near and far, so a new pair of glasses will be great!

Take care and thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hi, Friends!

My husband had a milestone birthday last week.  I made the above card using an image from MFT.  The banner is from MFT, also.  I struggled a bit with this card.  I added gems because I felt it needed something.  The design is a bit off to me, but my hubby liked it and appreciated it.  

We celebrated his birthday by going to Amish Country in Berlin, Ohio.  Our son met up with us on Saturday and we had fun shopping and going to dinner.  Last Thursday, we celebrated with a friend, Angie.  Her birthday is only two days after my husband's birthday.  I made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, so yummy!  We had fun visiting and playing cards with Ted and Angie!

Here are some photos during our stay in Berlin...

We had a nice relaxing weekend away in Amish Country(Berlin, Ohio).  A beautiful peaceful town with delicious food, crafts, and lovely scenery!

And, I'd be remiss if I didn't wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I made cabbage and noodles for my Irish hubby.  We will enjoy red raspberry pie for dessert that we picked up at an Amish bakery.  It is my hubby's favorite!

Ok, friends, that's all for now.  I'll be back soon to show you my chocolate crocheted Easter bunny and baby afghan.  I completed the bunny.  I'm still working on on the afghan.  

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by!  Take care and have a great week!

Hugs!

Happy Easter!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share a couple Easter cards with you today.  I recently purchased the adorable bunny, basket, eggs, and flowers from Poppy Stamps.  Behind the basket, I used the Eyelet Diamonds die from Pretty Pink Posh.  The grass was made using a MFT die.  The images were colored with copics and a bow added to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at NBUS Challenge.

Next up,

I used several distress inks with this card and made an egg wreath.  The eggs were made using a die from Paper Sweeties(retired).  The leaves were made using a punch.  The sentiment was embossed in gold using a stamp from SU.  The pretty gold dots are from SU, also.  A gold bow to finish the card.

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  I hope you have an awesome day, take care!

Hugs!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you two more St. Patrick's Day cards.  For the above card, I personalized it with an image similar to my sister's dog(the best image I could find), Lola.  You may have to look closely, but I put Lola's name on the collar.  My sister's dog is super sweet, a Wheaton Terrier.  The gold rainbow die was made using a die from Spellbinder's.  The image from Pretty Pink Posh was colored with copics.  The shamrocks were made using a die from Pretty Pink Posh.  The sun was made using a die from Spellbinder's and a punch.  The grass die is from MFT. 

Next up...

A very simple card using a panel from Doodlebug.  The background was made using a die from Emily Moore Designs.  Gold gems to finish the card.  I think I'm done making St. Patrick's Day cards.  I always enjoy making them.  I love the bright green and orange colors.  And, the cute images!

Ok, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care, hugs!!
