Happy Easter

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love the rebirth that it represents. I love watching my girls look for eggs and re-hide them for the next week or so. They are so fun they way get so excited. I made a set of cards for them and of my nieces and nephews. My three year old kept on touching the Nuvo Crystal drops and asking if she could have her card as I was finished the sentiment after everything dried. She was so disappointed and thrilled when I told her "Soon!"

Love the glitter on the eggs




Easter Flowers

I love Spring, The flowers blossoming, the rainshowers and the way everything looks new. I saw The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and thought. Hurray!! I love Spring, this pretty flower, glitter and my little bunny with a scarf, because sometimes you need a scarf with those windy/rainy Spring days. I love the patterned paper with the fence design.

Distress Inks and Watercoloring

I purchased some water color paper for my daughter and I to try out. We had a great time creating together. 
She made me a pretty flower and elephant, both in rainbow colors. My favorites
I have a few ladies that I work with in our church group. I thought they might appreciate some love.







Happy Day Crafting Fun

Love this Patterned Play Circles from Altnew

Spring Time with my pretty flowers. They are a retired set from Simon Says Stamp (Whimsical Flowers)

Out of This World

I love this set from Lawn Fawn. I made some invitations for my daughter and so much fun I decided to make some birthday cards and test out distress inks and blending.


I have three daughters and I want them to remember they can do anything, so I made some girl astronauts. When I was young I wanted to be an astronaut.

Random Cards

I had a few random cards that needed some finishing touches. Some needed sentiments and some a bit of sparkle.
I saw this great card that used this technique with vellum and a fabulous flower background stamp and pieced paper. I wish I could remember where I saw it. I didn't have a background stamp that would work, so I used my Falling Stars die with my strips of paper. Cut the letters out and stacked them three high for a bit of dimension. 


I tried one without the vellum stars over the full card.

This sweet My Favorite Things Magical Dragon needed some bling on his scales and nails. 

Love this Pretty Pink Posh Hot Air Balloon set. So sad it was a Stamptember set. I added the sentiment from W9's Unforgettable set. It's one of my favorite sentiments!
