Happy Easter

This is the Easter card that I will be sending out to family and friends this year. So I needed a quick, simple image and card design to make mass producing easy and fast. I had been running this design around in my head for a week or more and saw that Eat Sleep Stamp had this as a sketch, I knew it was the one I wanted to use!

The image is from Whipper Snapper, DP from Autumn Leaves, Glossy Accent on the bunny's nose, paws and ladybug, a light blue pearl and waterfall Stickles on the flower. The sentiment is from PTI (Mailbox Greetings) and so is the button.

This card is for a few challenges this week. I've recently discovered Pile It On Challenge Blog and I thought it would be fun to try it. They have challenge blogs listed by the day that the challenge starts. So it's really easy to find a challenge to play along with, and all in one place!

Welcome Baby!!

My husband's nephew and his wife just had their little baby girl Malina!! She's almost 3 weeks old and I got to meet her yesterday. She is a little beauty! Mine are still "babies" at just 2 and 3 years old, but it was so fun to hold a tiny little one. Her mommy looked so beautiful, happy and skinny already! LOL. Since her mommy also keeps all of the cards I have ever made her (love, love, love her for that!!!) I came home and made a card to welcome her little girl !

The image is Whipper Snapper Designs, Bella. I love this image because it is perfect for a boy or a girl. I used Stickles (cotton candy) on her bow, but it isn't showing up well in the picture. The tag was once again made with my Cricut, Storybook cartridge and computer generated sentiment. Quick coloring with my Copics (I think I use too many colors. LOL) and it was done.

Once again here's a close up.

Surf's Up Dude!

I know we have a long way until Summer gets here, but I just had to use this Whipper Snapper Designs stamp. The stamp is The Big Kahuna. My nephew, Jordan is 12 years old today and I had to make a card to give him for his party tomorrow. He lives right across the street from the beach, and he loves to surf; so this seemed a perfect fit.

I was so excited to play with my copic markers today that I started coloring before I chose my paper. So after wasting precious nap time (i.e. Mommy time) looking for paper to match what I had already colored, I came up with nothing. Can you believe it? Nothing! I had adorable paper with orange and brown that would have been perfect, but I had no time to recolor. So frustrating. (That's why you pick you paper first and color to match the paper). Besides, I really thought he was cute and didn't want to redo it. Anyway, I went with no designer paper at all and opted to put my Cuttlebug to use. I think it worked out fine. The card design is a little boring, but I love the coloring job I did!
