Today’s card will probably go to our son & d-i-l. Basket and eggs are from the Silhouette, eggs are cut from various scraps of pp. Grass is a MS punch, soft sky background paper was found online. After running the basket through a basket weave ef I thought the white still looked a little blah, so I sponged it with Bashful Blue ink. To my surprise I kind of like it. The unevenly place flowers are stickers from my stash. The first flower went on perfectly but the second dropped a tad too low but trying to move it would make it pretty messy, so I just left it. It doesn’t show well in the photo, but there is a shear white bow in the top middle of the basket. It’s very noticeable in real life. Sentiment strip was printed on the computer and the little eggs are clip art.

Thanks for stopping by and your comments are greatly appreciated. Stay healthy & safe.

Today’s card is a CASE of one I saw on Pinterest but I can’t find it again so you could see a comparison. My bad! Bunny face is the ornament punch from SU, ears are large & small ovals from SU. Cheeks and paws are a 3/4″ circle punch with hand drawn enhancements, nose is a 1/8″ hand punch. Carrot is a circle punch hand cut to a point, carrot tops are 1/4″ strips of cs cut at an angle. Cheeks, paws and ears are edged with pink. Grass is a Martha Stewart punch, tulips are a small punch I’ve had forever. Fence is cs run through the Woodgrain ef by The Paper Studio. Background paper was found online. Googly eyes are blue, just like my 3 year old great-granddaughter’s. My original intent was to send this to her but now I’m not sure I really like it.

Today’s card is for the JUGS color week challenge. Embossing folders used are from Cuttlebug. Image is from an online coloring page, colored with Copics. I paper pieced the vase after embossing it for a little interest. I hope my colors will qualify. I thought of making this an Easter card but decided it makes a nice spring birthday card. I’m also entering in Crafty Gals Corner challenges.

So glad you stopped by. Hope you’re happy, healthy & safe.

When I saw Double D’s challenge, something with a handle, I thought what’s better than an Easter basket. Pp is from my Easter stash, basket and bunny are from the Silhouette, corner hearts are a small hand punch. Basket trim is a Sizzex extended die, flowers are stickers found in my stash, grass is a MS punch. Hearts are double punched with Clear Wink of Stella added, bunny’s bow also has a little Wink of Sella. Basket is popped up with mounting tape. And of course, I couldn’t resist the googly eye.

Happy ST. Paddy’s Day to Ya!

Our son & d-i-l’s 30th anniversary is coming up so I wanted to make sure I put pearls on their card. Card base is Basic White from SU., subtle background paper was found online, curvy border die is Dotted Borders by Avery Elle. The string of pearls and small glitter pearls (flower centers) are from my stash. Flowers are from a SU punch I’ve had many years. Each flower is doubled and sprayed with Perfect Pearls Mist. Sentiment was printed on the computer.

So glad you stopped by. Please feel free to leave a comment.

Stay healthy and safe.

Today’s card is for our son. Can’t believe he’ll be 57. That’s how old hubby was when he retired.

The layout is sort of a combo of cards I saw on Pinterest. Embossing folder Woodgrain is from The Paper Studio. After embossing the Crumb Cake layer, I lightly sponged with Soft Suede. Image is online clip art. Sentiment on the beer mug is “Cheers, Beers and many more years!, Happy Birthday.” I also sponged the edges of the image strip and popped it up.

Thanks for visiting, please come back. I really appreciate any comments. Stay healthy & Safe.

Hello my friends. As you can see, today’s card is for the March Two Old Bats challenge. Again, everything is computer generated. Spider web background paper was found online and I thought it would look kind of cool printed on green cs. Spiders and witch are online clip art. At first my idea was to just sponge black on the very edges. Then I decided to use a cotton ball, with Distress Ink Black Soot, and spread it on a little more than just the edges. I’m actually kind of pleased with it.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate any comments. Stay healthy and safe.

Today’s card is dear old sister’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment “Irish Luck; Ample food and sturdy drink, A clean pillow for your head, And may you be forty years in heaven B’for the Devil knows your dead.” was found online. Shamrock border is online clip art, and I also added it to the inside. This was very easy, all done on the computer.

Thanks for stopping by. Stay healthy and safe.
