Happy Birthday!

Hi, there!

I made a simple shaker birthday card for a nephew.  I used the fun birthday wishes die from Pretty Pink Posh and filled it with gems from Pink Fresh.  The background was die cut using a die from The Greetery.  Iridescent White Cord from Simon Says to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at

Seize The Birthday.

I didn't think I'd say this so soon in April, but it is too hot, lol!  It reached 83 here yesterday.  It is warm and humid.  We may have some storms late this evening.  It feels tropical.  For the weekend, it will drop back down to the 50's.  Signs of spring are everywhere and I love seeing that the weeping cherry tree has bloomed.  I can view it out my craft room window, so pretty!

Ok, my friends, that's all for now.  I hope you have a great rest of the week!  Take care and thanks so much for dropping by today!

Happy Birthday!

Hi Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful blessed Easter yesterday!  We had a delicious potluck breakfast at church in the morning and then went out with family to one of our favorite restaurants.  It was a cold day in the 40's, but at least it wasn't raining.  Many signs of spring showing around here with lovely daffodils, green grass and trees starting to sprout their leaves.  

Anyways, I'd like to share with you the above card I made for a friend.  I love those pretty potted daffodil images from Pretty Pink Posh.  The scalloped background die is from Lawn Fawn and the sentiments are from Honey Bee.  I made the wood shelf with a strip of paper and colored it with copics.  Gold dots from SU to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at The Four Seasons Challenge.

Thank you so much for dropping by today!  Now off to your blogs to see what beautiful projects you have created!  Take care!

Hugs!

Happy Easter!

Hi, Friends!

I'd like to share with you today a few Easter cards and treat bags!  The above card was made using a stencil from Gina K for the sun and rays.  I used my glitter paste for the sun and rays.  The images from Sunny Studio were colored with copics.  Those little Easter critters are so cute!  Distress ink was used for the grass.  Twine with a bow to finish the card.  I'm entering this card over at Triple B Challenge.  

Next up...

Another Easter card made with a cross colored with copics.  The cross image was given to me by a friend.  The sentiment from SU was gold embossed.  I used gold ink spray for interest.  The background panel was made using a die from Emily Moore.  Gems added to finish the card.  

Treat bags...

I met up with a few friends on Tuesday for lunch and gave them these treat bags.  The little chocolate bunnies are from Memory Box.  The stamped eggs and sentiment is from Verve(retired).  The grass die is from MFT.  I had a wonderful lunch with my crafty friends!

We had a wonderful spring day here yesterday with the temps in the 70's.  Hubby took me to lunch before we went to the grocery store.  We had some storms with hail in the evening, but thankfully no damage.  The up and down weather continues.  Yesterday temps in the 70's and now today it's in the 30's.  I'll be glad when Mother Nature makes up her mind, lol!

Ok, my friends, that's all for now.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs!

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.

Next up...

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!
