Easter bunny

Who all watched the Royal Wedding yesterday?   We were stationed over in England when my husband was in the Air Force, in fact we were there when Diana was killed in that car accident, such a crushing blow for the country.  It was so nice to watch them all seem very happy once again.  I think my favorite part was Harry turning around and looking back while Kate was coming up the isle, I would love to know what he said to William at that point.  I did not get up early to watch it though, I taped all of BBC America's coverage of it and watched it through out the day as I was trying to get my cleaning and stuff done around here.

Ok on with the card.....

I tried a new layout after I wasn't as happy with the first card I made with the stickers.  This time I added forever in time buttons in with the Hallmark stickers.   Cosmo cricket paper. Studio G sentiment stamp, and the happy was done using Hero Arts Mixed Alphabet, I cute them in strips and tried to arrange them on different levels to mimic the border.

The sun is shining bright today so it's time to go take the dog for a walk,
Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend,

Masculine Thank you

I think this paper is from one of the very first stacks of paper I bought many years ago, but I thought it would be a good backdrop for this image from Penny Black.  I took Martha Stewart Art and Craft markers and colored right onto the stamp, then stamped it onto the paper.  The Fiskar gold photo corners are from way back too.  I decided that I should emboss the sentiment in Gold to go along with the photo corners.  Sentiment is a Studio G stamp.

Gloomy day here today so I will be staying inside and working on the wraps/shawls for the bridesmaids in the wedding, my daughter couldn't find the color green she wanted in ones that were already made up, so we went to JoAnns and she found fabric that she liked so I am making them, real simple, just time consuming.

Hope you all are enjoying some sunshine,
Thanks for stopping by,

Easter Chicks

When I was going through my things just a little before Easter I found these stickers I had picked up from Hallmark a year or so ago.  So I decided to get some use out of them, mounted them on a spellbinder die.
The stamp is Studio G stamp on spellbinder tag die.  It looked so empty after I put the stickers on that I tried to do my own swirls with Liquid pearls, it sure didn't turn out like I had envisioned.  The paper is Cosmo cricket.

We actually have a little sunshine peeking out from around the clouds this morning, and the birds are just chirping away outside my door, I think they are happy to have a break from all the rain too.  I had to take my daughter back to college yesterday afternoon and it was pouring, barely could see the cars ahead of me and the small road to get out to the interstate was flooding, not a very enjoyable drive but I made it.  I hope that you are all staying dry were your live.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

He is RISEN!!

He is Risen indeed..... Happy Easter Everyone.
I usually don't post on Sundays they are just too busy but my Husband had to work tonight and my daughter home from college is busy with homework so I thought I had might as well post some cards I made for our Fathers for Easter.

I was going for a sunrise look here.  My husband drew the image and then I colored the cards in with distress  and a little chalk inks. Sentiments are done with Impression Obsession stamp.

I hope you have all enjoyed a wonderful Easter with family and friends,
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Cross-stitch sympathy

My friends father passed very unexpectedly, and her husband was over in Afghanistan at the time, so she had to travel to Florida by herself, I felt so bad for her.  Good news her husband made it back in time for the funeral and so she had his support.

I had been working on this cross-stitching on our Ladies craft night and had just finished it before I heard the news so I decided to use it in her card. I mounted it on Spellbinders Lacey square die.

Paper is from the Basic Grey Porcelain paper pack.

Kaisercraft sentiment stamp was used on a  spellbinder ribbon tags trio, Ribbon is from a Mellissa Frances kit I bought at the CKC, Lace is from the $ store.

Hope everyone has been able to keep safe through these storms going across the country, we just had some fierce storms again over night and this morning but so far so good.

May you be blessed by the Love and Grace Jesus shown to us on this Good Friday!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by,
