Easter Chicks


I love this cute stamp from Stampendous called "Chickie Hop".  I made this Easter card for my sister Karen...I think she'll get a kick out of it!  I used Prismacolor pencils & gamsol to color them.  The white flowers are  from a Marvy punch that I got years ago, the big blue one was made using an EK punch, and the blue border is a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment was made using a  CraftSmart stamp and Spellbinder's Foral Ovals.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hoppy Easter

Easter is just a little over a week from now, and I've been working on cards to send to family members.  Even more exciting is that springlike weather should be here sometime soon, and I can't wait till that happens!!  Here is a card I made to send to my daughter Elaine's family.  I used the Girl Bunny image from the Stamping Dragon Designs. The background paper is from the Glitter Sweet Stack from DCWV, and the die cut behind her is Spellbinder's Fleur de Lis Squares.  The ribbon is from Michael's & I don't remember where I got those cute little eggs!  The sentiment was cut out with a Paper Studio punch.  Anyway...I thought it turned out pretty cute!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Emily

I made this card for my oldest daughter Emily's birthday.  Her birthday isn't until March 1st, but I figured with Easter coming up right behind it, I didn't want to waste time preparing it!!  I used the digital image "Cupcake Lineup" from "From the Heart Stamps" and colored them up with Spectrum Noir Markers.  I used Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles Large & Scalloped Rectangles Large to frame it, a Stampin Up sentiment, and green ribbon from my stash!  Emily loves to make cupcakes for her six children and other extended  family celebrations such as baby/wedding showers, etc!  She loves chocolate and the color green, not real sure about the pink, but I think she'll like her card!!  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!

Happy Anniversary & Valentine's Day

My husband and I were married on Valentine's Day in 1976!  So this is our 37th year being married!  Kind of hokie...but I don't even think we were trying to be cute getting married on that day.  If I remember right, we just took a look at the calendar and said....hey that day's as good as any!   At the time I think we were working around other upcoming weddings on both sides of our family and were trying not to make them too closed to each other.  In retrospect it was a horrible day for future anniversary celebrationsm because  everybody and their brother is taking their wife/girlfriend out on that night!  Oh well!  This year we celebrated by going out to dinner & a movie this past Sunday!  I still wanted to make this card for him and give it to him on our actual anniversay.  This cute image is called Ava & Deacon Love Word from Bugaboo Digi Stamps.  They have some of the cutest and humorous images! I colored them with a combination of Prisma Pencils & Spectrum Noir markers.  The Feb 14 stamp is from My Creative Time 100% Sweetness set. The die cut they are framed on is Spellbinder's Romantic Rectangles. The flower & button are from my stash.  Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
