Here are a couple of polka dot rabbits all ready for Easter! That's my old Easter basket, which is also the one my daughter, Lauren, carried for Easter Egg Hunts. (Hey, Mom - Is this also Daddy's basket?) I need to fix the stragglers on the handle! It's looking a little worn.
The paper is digital from My Time Made Easy. I stapled two shaped bunnies together at the ear to create the card.
Added a fluffy tail and a few other goodies - but pretty simple over all. I made several of these for special orders and for my little cousins. Happy bunnies!
Hi! I just spent a wonderful weekend with my family. Lauren turned 25 this weekend, so we (Dennis, me, my mom and dad, and Paul's mom) drove up to Wichita to celebrate. It just so happens that it's also my mom's, and my husband's parents' birthdays, as well! We had a great time visiting. Lauren had discovered a great antique store called the Paramount. So, of course, we had to go... Got a ton of stuff - vintage nut cups, bingo cards, flashcards, lace... FUN!
This card is one that I designed for Daddy to give to Mom for her birthday. The little fairy image is from The Graphics Fairy.
She's just darling! The paper is K&Co and DCWV, along with vintage sheet music. The stamp is from a whole package of them that I got at an antique store. I just love the color of them! Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

Hi! How are you? Have you had a great weekend? It's been unseasonably warm here - 90 degrees in April! Seventies would be much better! My friend, Mika, and I go around on this one, however...she loves hot weather. I'm more of a cool weather girl myself. I don't like to feel sticky...how about you?
I've mentioned before that I've been lucky to have always lived in a happy home.
So, I really like the sentiment (from Papertrey Ink) on this card.
I think it's the little things on this card that make me happy: that little house, the pearl and cool safety pin on the bow, the vintage button...
Do you ever feel amazed by time? Sometimes it moves so slowly I just can't believe it... and then suddenly, it's Friday already! I'm popping in to share a little card made with some really pretty Glitz Design papers. I just love the pale acqua, yellow and pink combo.
The pretty frame/journal spot is one piece out of a package by Recollections at Michaels. The butterfly is part of a digital set from etsy shop KoolJewelry.
The challenge at Do You Stack Up is to use yellow. Since I think this card wouldn't look as good without that yellow stripe, I'm going to link it up there! So glad you stopped by!
I've been seeing a lot of tri-fold shutter cards and I think they are so cool. I wanted to try one out for myself. I changed a couple of things from what I've seen - it seems I can hardly ever just leave something the way it is! I adjusted the dimensions so that I could showcase a larger image and I folded the inside folds a little different. I like the idea of part of the image being hidden and then revealed when opened. I did a dummy card first to get the dimensions the way I wanted - which worked great! But,then....when I'm ready to cut the Turquoise paper, I totally screwed up! I cut one wrong, I scored one wrong, I cut one perfectly and then noticed that the name of the paper showed on the back! I wasted paper like crazy! Oh, well, I FINALLY got it!
I'm going to link this card up at Basic Grey Challenges and Moving Along with the Times. It just so happens they both have the same challenge: more than one fold. The front paper is My Minds Eye and the floral paper is from the Curio collection from Basic Grey. The image is from The Graphics Fairy.
The scallop stamp and sentiment are Papertrey Ink. The other stamps are Making Memories. Thanks for stopping by!
Guess what I did today! Those of you who thought it would be great for me, will be glad to know I helped Dennis plant flowers and herbs today! While it wasn't GREAT FUN, it wasn't bad, either. When they really start blooming, I'm sure I'll feel a sense of accomplishment. Today it was more fight the wind and face fulls of dirt...
Okay, isn't she the cutest - love her dress and that great hat! She's printed on transparency (and in case you're wondering regular transparencies do not work in an inkjet printer, however I found on-line at Staples a product by Apollo called Quick-Dry Ink Jet Printer Transparency Film). Works great! The background papers are K & Co. and the polka dot background is created with a stamp from Papertrey Ink. I happened to remember that little bunny punch, which was probably the first punch I ever bought (eons ago).
She's finished off with a flower made from tea-dyed twill. She looks ready for an Easter egg hunt! We had several easter egg hunts at our house for Lauren's birthday, complete with egg-in-spoon races. It was so much fun and the kids all thought it was a special treat! Do you look forward to an Easter tradition each year?
