Hippity Hoppity!

 
Hippity Hoppity!
Here Comes Peter Cottontail!
 
 
Hi there!
 
 
TGIF!  I'm so happy it's Friday today!  I always have
Friday off from work, so I had a chance to play today
in my craft room!  I was so anxious to ink up some
SWEET Stamps that I recently ordered from
Paper Sweeties!  I'm entering this project over at
their challenge, (Paper Sweeties).  They have the
sweetest stamps!  Do go on over to visit to get
inspired for your Easter cards/projects!  You cer-
tainly won't be disappointed!
 
Here is the design to follow for this month's
challenge...
 

 
I started with  a recycled  gauze box for the base of my
project.  The gals at work help me save boxes, cardboard,
etc. :-)  You never know what might come in handy for
that FUN project!
 
 
 
I covered the gauze box with Echo Park paper.  I used
stamps.  The darling little bunny was colored with SU
colored pencils.  I added pretty clear pink buttons to the
banner.  Several jelly beans were placed in a small bag
and topped with doily and sentiment (Hippity Hoppity).
A couple of chocolate bunnies and bubble gum suckers
were added to finish off the little Easter basket!  Thanks
so much for dropping by today!  Take care and have a
wonderful weekend, hugs!

Luck of the Irish!


Hi there!

Just thought I'd share a St. Pat's card with you that
I made recently for a challenge over at Crafter's Cafe.
I wanted to do some sewing on this card, but decided
not to because of the glitter.  I love the delicate detail
of the shamrock stamp from Inkadinkadoo.  Lots of
layering, lace, ribbon and buttons for this card to
celebrate "going green" day!:-) 

One of my co-workers decided to have a little contest
to name the leprachaun hanging on her door.  Some of
the names were quite comical.  Anyways, the one with
the most votes won a couple of lottery tickets.  Our
Xray tech won.  I'm not sure if he got lucky with winning
on the lottery tickets or not.  I'll have to ask tomorrow.:-)

Ok, that's it for now.  I do have some very exciting
news to share in a couple of weeks.  So, please do
check back for the details.  Thanks for dropping by
today!  Take care and have a wonderful week, hugs!

Supplies:

Bazzill, Coredinations, Recollections
Stamp:  PTI(Sentiment), Shamrock(Inkadinkadoo)
Buttons:  Basic Grey
Ribbon:  Paper Sweeties
Twine:  PTI
Lace:  SU(Scallop Circle)

Happy Easter!


Hi there Peeps!

How are you today?  Only a few more weeks until
Easter!  Any signs of spring where you are?  It's in the
50's here today.  The birds woke me this morning
singing their beautiful music.  I think they know when
spring is near.:-)

I got together with a friend last weekend and
created some quick Easter cards.  Which one is your
favorite?  I prefer the one in the center, myself.  I love
that color of purple and delicate cross stamp.  The
foam cross was a gift from my friend.  I think it
looks perfect against the stamped cross. 

Well, back to the craft room for more creating!
Thank you for dropping by!  Take care and have
a wonderful week, hugs!

Celebrate Your Day!



The gorgeous inspiration photo we were to follow..
 
 

Hi Friends!

How is your weekend going?  Did you find some
time to do crafting?  I sure hope so.  It's so re-
laxing and fun to sit down and craft away!:-)

Anyways, I want to share with you a card I made
for The Shabby Tea Room!  I could not resist this
challenge because it is filled with pink loveliness!
Look at that sweet banner, flowers, and goodies!
Wouldn't you want to attend a party with all
those lovelies?

So, I had fun incorporating lots of pink onto my
card.  I made a little banner and attached pretty
pink roses.  I did some fussy cutting with flowers
for more dimension and interest.  I used a new
Spellbinder die I recently purchased.  Pretty pink
lace and pom pom trim from Close to My Heart.
And, the stamp I used is from Paper Sweeties! 

My Mom loves pink and roses, so I'll be giving
her this birthday card in a few weeks.  Thank
you very much for dropping by here today.  I
hope you have a great weekend!  Take care, hugs!
