Happy Easter…

Our middle daughter and husband have adopted two children from Ukraine and plan to adopt again this year from Bulgaria.  Amanda sent this yesterday, a blog post from another family that has adopted from Ukraine.   ♥ Redemption ♥  a beautiful post…hope you can make time to read it. The true meaning of Easter.

Spring and Tulips…a big deal in Iowa because of the Dutch influence…I created this for the Impressions Obsession challenge blog.

Tilda Birthday Card…

AmandaB-dayMar10

Happy Weekend and finally getting Amanda’s birthday card made!  Only a month late!  I’m the mom,  so I can be late…yikes!  lol  This one took a few days…struggled trying to figure out what to do with that present punch.  Tried coloring on a new card-stock that a friend sent… fun!  I like it a lot…Papertrey Ink!   Trickier to cut out the heavier weight stock but otherwise I love how it colors up!

  • Tilda with Gifts
  • Stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
  • Colored with Copic Sketch Markers
  • Basic Grey Kioshi 6×6 paper pad
  • Martha Stewart present punch – I punched in white card-stock and colored all the presents, then gave it the scratchy look with Stampin Up’s Sanded background stamp
  • EK Success small scallop border punch
  • Happy Birthday circle that I’ve had forever but it’s so fun pulling out the stamps I haven’t used in some time!  From Cat’s Life Press
  • ribbon is from May Arts

I actually finished the inside of this card! Then I had to go and forget to take a picture of it! I used some of the coordinating pattern paper from the pad and a cool stamp from Printworks (sale going on right now,  email me for the newsletter).

Catch you later!
