I couldn't resist this sweet little girl showing off her lollipop when I was looking for just the right thing for the Candy Shop theme.  I love that red, pink and white twine - and love how it made a pretty lollipop!

I've got a little giveaway, too!

A sweet little easter basket with a BIG egg full of goodies:

Felt chickies, and flowers, mini clothespins and decorative clothespins (and I bet I manage to get a few other things in there, too)!  To win, just let me know in your comment that you would like to have it.  That's easy...but don't forget to tell me and I'll randomly select a winner and post the results on Wednesday.

I can't wait to see the other DT creations in our Candy Shop hop!  Go visit:

Kiss Me, I'm Irish!

Oh, what a cutie is she?   Love her big floppy hat and little puffed sleeves.  I couldn't wait to create a St. Pat's card with her! 

It's still Go Green at Paper Issues (through Saturday), a new theme rolls out on Sunday.  Stay tuned...

ETA:  I forgot to include this picture of the basket for St. Pats Day:

It's got chocolate coins inside for a treat.

Happy, Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

 Are you ready with your something green?  I would hate for you to be pinched!

Sweet Bunny Cards for Craft Us Crazy

Hello,there!  Craft Us Crazy has a new challenge:  Easter/Religious and/or Something Sweet.  Our sponsor for this two week challenge is one my very favorites - The Cutting Cafe!   I used two of Regina's Easter sets to create these simple, but sweet cards.

  Regina's got all kinds of digital goodies, so be sure to check it out.  For details on the challenge and the prize check the Craft Us Crazy blog.

Love the sweet bunny tag and the easter bingo cards are really fun!  For more inspiration from the DT visit Craft Us Crazy!  Thanks for stopping by!

Luck of the Irish

Hi, everyone!  Just had a wonderful weekend - my daughter and her husband were here.  Yesterday, we went to the Oklahoma City Museum of Art to see a collection from the Victoria and Albert Museum.  Wonderful pieces of art, jewelry, clothing, religious items...  Lauren and Paul left this morning - love it when they're here, hate it when they go...

We celebrated birthdays (Daddy and Dennis) and new jobs (Paul and Dennis).  We made those brownies I posted awhile back, but made them with vanilla frosting instead of mint.  Still very yummy!

Love this sweet vintage St. Pats postcard and the restaurant tab in the background.  It's still Go Green at Paper Issues.  Linking this card up at the blog.  Twenty percent off code at the Paper Issues store is chouxchoux.  Check out the goodies! 

So glad you stopped by and have a wonderful week!

Going Green with St. Patricks Day!

Paper Issues has posted the new challenge:  Go Green or Go Home!  Your project could be St. Pats related, of course, or recycling, upcycling...as long as its paper it will work! 

Picked up some shamrock cookie cutters at Michaels and decided they needed to be decorated, as we already have a shamrock cutter to use for cookies! 

The sweet couple are a scanned image of an old Dennison label I was lucky to get into my hands! 

The code to shop at the Paper Issues store and get a 20 percent discount is chouxchoux.  Cassie's got a lot of new things right now - might be a good time to put that discount to use! 

Thanks for stopping by and luck of the Irish to you!

Spring: A Year in Review for My Time Made Easy

All the My Time Made Easy design team are posting today.  We are mixing something old with something new.  My something old is the template I used:  Bouncing Baby Buggy.  I know, it doesn't look much like a baby buggy here - that just shows you how Lauren's templates can be used in many different ways. 

My something new are the pretty papers on the basket.  These are from the Spreading Spring Cheer set.   

When I was at Michaels the other day, I picked up a couple of these gold Lindt chocolate bunnies - they are so cute!  I've been on the look out for mini ones, but haven't seen any around here.   This one looks right at home in his pretty spring basket.

Here are the links to rest of the Year in Review creations:

My Time Made Easy Post Release

I love the sweet little bunny from the new My Time Made Easy Spring is Here set.  I kept the bunny white as before but changed it from brown to pink and this project is completely different in feel.  I made a pretty card using a label from the Round Off set and embossed a kraft circle to go with it.

I just love Easter Eggs!  When I use vinegar in something it always takes me back to dying easter eggs with my mom.   For the egg display, I painted a plastic egg to look like its more expensive cousin! 

The March release is available in the new projects section of the store now. 

Love how the goodies from My Time Made Easy are so versatile and fit in with so many styles!  Be sure to go by these  blogs for more fun projects:
