Hoppy Easter


Hi everyone! Hope it is better where you are.  It is terrible here in NY with a bit of everything.  I'm so glad to be safe and warm upstairs.  I'm here with my 1st stamped background.  I used a stamp from Stampin Up which I won and am finally using it.  I colored it with Sakura gel pens and Crayola pencils.  The bunny's are from a new Studio G stamp. From my stash I used pearls, MS Butterfly border punch, Studio G glitters, flower punch, ribbons, Fiskers corner rounder and new MS flower border punch.  Thanks for dropping by.

Your A Star

I am hear with a Peachy card which I had so much fun making. I just love Peachies!  I used Wild Cards & Create a Critter carts.  I forgot what cart. I used for the stars?  I kept the card clean and simple, adding just a Peachy Keen Design(PK-M20 You are A Star) which I colored with a Crayola pencil and Sakura white gel pen.  Thanks for joining me.  Enjoy the rest of the week.

Easter

I am excited that Easter is almost here because that is my official sign of Spring.  Here is a simple Easter card I made using  a Sketch and Peachy faces(PK-943 & PK-493).  I decided to add the tooth on both bunnys.  From my stash I added some Skittles, Flowers, Twine, Studio G ABC's stamp, ribbon, Pebbles chalk and embossing(Cuttlebug).  I hand cut the banner with my trusty MS paper trimmer.  Thanks to all of you who continue to keep my blog active.

Let's Read!

Hey to all my bloggie friends. It's good to see sunlight.  I have been under the weather and posting later in the day.  I am so glad to be posting while there is daylight.  I decided to make a bookmark to fit a challenge on reading.  This is for my teen granddaughter who is a devoted Twilight fan.  I went to a bookstore on line and just printed the page of selected books.  From my stash I added some keepsakes with chain that could be cut down to size.  I punched an opening with a mini hole puncher I once found @ Walgreens for .45 cents.  The cart used was MS Seasonal cart.  The paper is a combination of Recollections, Echo Park(won it) and MyMinds Eye.  I inked all the paper with Studio G brown ink.  I finished it off Writing in my sentiment with a black gel pen.  Thanks for joining me in the fun.

Mistletoe Magic

Hi all. Happy TGIF.  I'm starting to feel excited about Spring being close by.  The weather has still been dropping on an off but starting the month of March gives me so much motivation.  I am so looking forward to wearing flip-flops again.  Thinking warm thoughts, LOL.  It is ironic that I have a Christmas tag for my project.  I made sure not to add any snow or other reminder of winter he, he.  Everything was hand cut.  The patterns are from Scrapbooks Etc.  The paper is from K & Co. and DCWV.  I added a MS pine border, twine(RRR) and sentiment from BugBites.  Thanks for coming by.
