MMM Easter Eggs

Evening everyone.  What a wonderful day I've had.  Day off work and nothing planned.  I managed to make two cards.  While doing up all the laundry in the house.  Washed, dried, folded and put away in the same day.  That's really something for me.

Since easter is coming this weekend.  I decided to do an easter theme.  This is my fav easter stamp.  The little mouse with the easter eggs.  I colored it with watercolor pencils.  The yellow is hand made paper that I found in my paper stash.  I haven't used buttons and twine for a while so had to throw a few of those on.

happy Easter

Well everything went smoothly for the little guys first sleepover.  Last night we had two extra boys.  You wouldn't believe how long three boys will play outside with nerf guns.  We bought them each one and then they took it home with them. 
Aside from the tiny fire in the pine tree at the end of the driveway.  The day went great till bed time.  When I thought they were settling down at 10:30 the Hydro truck showed up to trim the branches from the lines. 
Here are the carrots I've made to take with us tomorrow for Easter dinner.  I found the pattern on Cutttlebug Challenges. They are filled with chocolate eggs.  MMMMM

Happy Easter
Happy crafting ;o)

Happy Anniversary Card Patterns

Congrats Card Patterns on one year.  I enjoy your weekly sketches.  It gives me a great place to start when making a card.  Easter is on its way.  I've colored this little cutie from SU with watercolor pencils.  The little flowers are stamped in turquoise ink and clear embossed. 
This card was made for Card Patterns-Challenge 53.

Here is the sketch. 

I want to congratulate my daughter.  This week at school they started the battles for Battle of the Books.  She has done her two battles this week winning 9-3, and 8-3.  Her team moves on the the finals next week for their school.  If shes lucky enough to win,  they go on to compete with the other schools in the area.  Good luck sweetie.

You know when your a card maker when you see something and try to copy it.  Earlier this week I saw a  customer at work wearing a fleece jacket green in color with trees on it.  I came home that night and made this card. What do you think?

Until next time
Happy crafting ;o)

Good Friday

Today is a lazy day. A holiday for everyone, most stores are closed today. I had a cleaning job to do this morning, but then I came home and finished my little baskets.

I got this pattern from www.heroarts.com . They have alot of great ideas. You can even download the template for this project. It was really fun to do.

Have a happy Easter

Last Easter

Yesterday I took the kids swimming. Boy was it crowded. Today they have a snake display at the KIA dealership in town. They do it every march break. I'm hoping its still on after lunch, because I worked last night till 10 and just couldn't get up to take my husband to work so we could have the car.

This is the last easter card I have made for now. This week I have been working on Father's Day and Mother's Day cards for the sale.

Happy March Break

St Patrick's Day

I don't know what happened to my post the other day. But my write up is missing. It was there when I posted it. Today gone. Lets try today.
We're into the fifth day of March Break. My daughter has had the last two days with friends over. Thats it for the week. Today they have a dentist app., and we have to run into my work for a retirement celebration for a co-worker. A few errands around town, and then it will be time to pick up my husband.
I think this is one of my favorite cards so far. One I designed myself from a page map. I love the page maps, they are great to get you started. www.pagemaps.com
At least I don't have to go to work tonight. The only night this week I'm off till Sat. But at least I get to be home with the kids during the day.

Keep smiling
