I don’t have a new card to share today but I pulled this Happy Easter card out of the “archives”… So cute!
We’re enjoying the weather in IA… 6 of the grands here to play yesterday afternoon… so fun! A couple of the girls and I cut scrap paper into useable sizes part of the time… fun to see that paper stack up. Now if I could just get that card finished that I started last week! ugh! I keep moving it out of the way to do something else! lol
Take care and ttul!
Spring Has Sprung is a NEW set for March from CC Designs. I combined it with the NEW Swiss Pixies Bunny Lucy and the ticket stamp from the NEW Spring Logos set.
I stamped these cuties with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill Color Copy Cover card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. All the grays are the T’s. I made an Easel card with one add on. I have a couple videos on making this type of card… HERE (2 min. long) and HERE is a video with two add-ons (3 min. long)…
March is blowing in like a lion in Iowa this week… Sunday started with snow all day and cold…yesterday the high was 74˚!!! Crazy! Is it only in Iowa you can experience all four seasons in one week?! lol Have a good one!
I used the Martha Stewart grass border punch but I couldn’t find it to link to, so I linked to the Magnolia Doohickey grass die and the My Favorite Things grass die.

Everyone is posting their faves from the year, so I had to jump in! Thanks for sharing everyone and thanks for looking on my blog too!
I loved how this easel with add on’s card worked out…Hot, hot days of Summer
Shabby Birdhouse Gift-cards in a Pizza Box
Anya’s Birthday Easel card with a Stopper
That was hard! So many I could have picked that I liked! It was a fun creative year ! I’m looking forward to 2012 and more fun stamping and sharing! Happy New Year and thanks for sharing your stamping too!
Thinking up to Debby’s challenge…
Do you see what she’s hiding behind her back? Snowball Laugh is playing tough gal today! lol Good thing she’s so cute! I colored and created a winter-ish scene for her to play in today. CC Designs images… so fun! I love this winter tree with just the perfect amount of snow “globs”! The Snowy Winter fence is perfect too. I cut it all out, even the bits in-between the boards! I was thinking last night while I was cutting all these out, that I should make a video on cutting out the fence…then I thought…no one would watch it! lol I used white signo gel pen on her fluff and some E 50 copic marker. I love the look of this white pen! To bad you can’t see it! bah haha
Splat! I told you to watch out! I love this awesome set that Christine illustrated for us this month. I paper pieced the puddle. I used the Hattie, Stella and Rose 6×6 pad. I linked to it below but it’s out of stock but it takes you to all the other MME pads that would all work up wonderfully! The snowflakes are three sizes of Marvy Snowflake punches. The mittens dies are new for November from CC Designs also. It’s fun how they’re made…very easy to piece different patterns together and add stitching.
It’s an easel card so I shot a couple side views… Laugh, the trees and fence are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Sketch Copic Markers. Blue greens are BG72, 75, 78. Golds are YR21, 23, 24 and E99. Hair is E50, E31, YR21 and 23. Face is E000, 00, 01 and a diluted R20. Fence is E43, 44, 47, 49. Trees are BG93, 96, 99.
No snow here today… another beautiful day! yay! Always some kind of weather, that’s for sure! : ) I did have fun coloring these images and hope you’ll be inspired to do some creating this week too! I need to stay in the stamping and coloring “groove”! I’m linking to the Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge blog – I was inspired by their sketch this week. The ABC Challenge blog is up to D – wanting to see Dazzle… well, my snow’s got glam!
Here’s the back!
This card-stock is really gold, not pumpkin!!! ugh! I had this one little sentiment made up to add to the easel but I couldn’t decide where to put it, so it’s on the back! lol I love it though and it turns the Winter card into a Christmas card!
Hope she made you laugh and want to get stamping! Thanks for stopping by and ttul!

It’s been a busy Summer for our family birthday wise! Our youngest daughter and her DH planned a Green Lantern themed party for their son Jace, with a cool invitation and skyscraper table piece she made with the Cricut. I knew this Super Edwin was coming so I’m just now getting a card made for Jace!
Here’s a picture of the invitation…so cute! I love it!
The party table with the skyscraper table display… so cool! Awesome creating Breanna and Eric! I love the wires between the buildings!
Back to Edwin…a couple side shots. It’s an Easel card with one mini easel add on in the front. Video Tutorial on how to make an Easel card with one add on HERE. Video Tutorial on how to make an Easel card with two add on’s HERE. Both are short!
A couple pictures from the side…
Super Edwin is NEW in The Winner Takes All Collection from Magnolia. I inked him up with Memento Tuxdeo Black ink, stamped on Beckett Expression Card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch markers. The Skyscraper circle scene is from LaLa Land Crafts… inked with Distress inks, the ink blending tool and a little copic coloring too. Edwin’s cape is colored with a metallic silver Uniball ink pen. I made the Green Lantern symbol on his chest with a couple circle punches and a ribbon punch, all from McGill. The Birthday Boy sentiment is from the Amy R Stamps It’s Your Birthday set. Smallest skyscraper border is a Martha Stewart edge punch. The other sky line is a 12 in. Sizzlet border die.
More birthdays coming up! More reasons to stamp and create! Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it!
