I have been creating for several days and finally took photos. I just posted these to splitcoaststampers and two are linked to other challenges.
This is for this week’s alphabet challenge for the letter N. The word from the list is Nature and my words are Navy and Narcissus. Also the images are from Newton’s Nook, another N word. This was linked to the Double D Easter challenge. There are two other entries from the buddies blog, so I linked from splitcoast in case another buddy wants to create an Easter card and link from here.

I am entering this card in Word Art Wednesday, anything goes: https://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/2025/04/anything-goes-weeks-694-695.html
This is my March to the Beat April card. I am the April hostess and I sent each person this image and a piece of patterned paper from the same pack. The images is Newton’s Nook Spring Haul. I used Neenah Classic Crest paper for the stamping, Echo Park Spring Fling or Easter Wishes paper packs, Hobby Lobby vellum, SU gems, and Accent White card base. I like this truck with the beautiful blooms.
I added this to two challenges: The Sisterhood of Crafters: https://thesisterhoodofcrafters.blogspot.com/2025/04/4925-springtime-designer-paper.html
The other challenge is the Four Season’s challenge: https://thefourseasonschallenge.blogspot.com/2025/04/spring-season-april-2025.html
One again, I chose to go ahead and link from splitcoast in case there were others who wanted to link from here.
This card was created for the technique swap, I am involved in. They chose stencils for the month of April. I used my Gina K Designs kit called A Happy Hello. This was the first layering stencil kit I ever used, so it was fun to pull it out and create with it. I used a color challenge in the colors Flirty Flamingo (bright pink), Lost Lagoon (the blue color), Lemon Lolly (which I substituted with lawn fawn Butter, light yellow), and gray for a neutral (I used lawn fawn manatee and narwhal).
I posted this to Triple B for the blooms: https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2025/04/april-2025-challenge.html
I posted a lot of cards this week, catching up. Since I was posting each of these to splitcoast, I just went ahead and posted to the challenges from there.
Today, I will be taking a break from creating and cleaning up my space. I have stuff all over and I would like less stuff in my way. Thanks for reading this long post. Have a wonderful day!
Stamp Buddies 
These are all so pretty! Your yellow daffodils look great with the navy, and your beautifully colored image looks nice with the papers you chose. And I LOVE your bright stenciled card!! You’ve been busy!
Yes, I have been busy. Most of these have been done for several days. I am very slow taking photos. I took time to write everything down and what they went to. I need to get mail ready, but that will wait.
I think I forget to say Thank You!
All three cards are lovely and I really like how you did them. I think the daffodil one is my favourite.
The daffodils are pretty. I have colored several of these but only finished this one. Thank you!
Love all three cards. The coloring on your truck and flowers is amazing, love the daffodils and the stenciled floral, too. Your creativity really shines.
Thank you!
Such lovely cards – those daffodils are just so pretty!
Thank you! I wish my outside ones looked like that. They are closed already.
What beautiful Spring cards! It looks like you have been having fun creating.
Thank you!
Great cards Lisa! Hope your clean up day went well so you can get back to the fun of creating.
I cleaned a bit and that is okay. Thank you!
