Spring Green

Did you get any crafting time today?  I made this card today.  I just love spring green.  Over at Our Daily Bread they have an inspiration challenge going on.  One of the pictures is of a cross with green and white flowers around it.  It is so beautiful so I used that for my inspiration for this card.  The scripture is from a set called He It Risen!  This is my Father-in-law's favorite verse so they will be receiving this card for Easter.

Happy Tuesday!

Hope this finds sun shinning wherever you are at.  Happy Tuesday everyone!  I have a card to show you today that is a surprise even to me - yep pastels that I wasn't even forced to do.  This adorable fluffy chick is from 2 Cute Ink.  The image is called Easter Bunny Chick.  The sentiment is from the set called Easter Sentiments.  I just think this little ball of fluff is so much fun I had to color him up.  Thanks for stopping by and remember we are having a "glitter" challenge right now at the 2 Cute Ink Challenge.  I have glitter on my ribbon and I added it to the eggs in the basket.  Come on over and join in the fun!

Train car full of eggs

You see lots of Easter baskets full of eggs but have you seen this train car full of eggs?  This is so adorable.  Over at Deedee's Digis this set is new this month for the progressive challenge.  The set is called Right on Track.  The set comes with several train pieces, some even have different things in them.  I had to use the eggs.  I also made this into a shaped card.  The sentiment is rippled out to look like it is flowing in the breeze.  Such a fun card!  If you don't participate in the progressive challenge you should join in.  I received this set for free for playing last month.

I LOVE this sentiment.  I had never seen it before until I saw it in the Encouraging Words set from Doodle Pantry.  This is my motto.  I love to do for others but I like to do without them knowing who did it. I know most of you cardmakers are the same.  We love creating with our hands and sharing that with others.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Can you believe Easter is just around the corner.  Today I have a card to show you that I made using the digital stamp set from Doodle Pantry called Easter Peeps.  The sentiment, which is perfect, is from a set called Spring Trimmings.  I just loved this bright bold color combo from Color Throwdown.  I popped up both carrots and the paw holding the carrot in this cuties mouth.  It is hard to see from the picture.  Hope you day is sunny!

Lift up our hearts and hands

Hope your Thursday is going great!  Tomorrow is spring.  It is feeling like it around here and I am ready.  I have a card to show you that I made using a verse from Our Daily Bread.  They are celebrating their 7 year anniversary.  WooHoo for them.  This verse is from the set "Lift Up Our Hands".  I choose brights - love working with bright colors but it isn't too much.  I thought the little polka dot paper worked great to not distract from the verse.

A "glitter" challenge at 2 Cute Ink

For this challenge at 2 Cute Ink we want to see glitter.  I am not a glitter girl.  It is too much of a mess for me so I choose to purchase these circles and they are covered with glitter. =)  I used my H2O Twinkling paints on the back behind the fish, trying to make a water look.   It's kinda hard to see in the picture but believe me I have glitter on my face to prove it.

Mom's birthday card

I am very confident that I have made my Mom the best birthday card ever.  It has all her favorites.  Pink, shoes (!!!), purses, jewerly, and polka dots.  She will love this.  Her birthday isn't until the end of the month but when I got this idea I had to make it up right away.  The fun image is from Bugaboo Digi Stamps and the sentiments are from Doodle Pantry.  The image is called Heel Accessories and the sentiment is from the set Birthday Accessories.  Then I will add the final touch of having my granddaughter, her great granddaughter write in the card - it will be the best card ever. =)

I shook the card a little and took another picture so you could see the beads have moved in the shaker box.

Ice Cream Truck Treats

Last summer was the first year Miss Madi came to love the ice cream truck. Every Saturday he would drive down our street.  We would wait out on the front porch just waiting to hear the music down the street.  She could hear it from blocks away.  Every Saturday she would pick something different.  This day it was a Sponge Bob treat.  Papa always got a giant bomb pop and I would get a ice cream sandwich.  Great memories.  She just asked about the ice cream truck the other day.  She is excited for summer again.
