Easter Cards

What a day!! After all the warnings about the weather, I was a bit surprised to wake up to a slight wind......the weather, not me!! and thought, they got it wrong! Oh boy, was I wrong!! One minute it has been chucking it down with rain and the next, brilliant sunshine, however, still with the strong winds they predicted.

Had to pop out to Asda to do some shopping which I did in extra quick time, then spent the rest of my free time trying to catch up with my Easter gifts. Have made quite a few today with about another eight to make which I should be able to do this evening and tomorrow morning. Will post a photo of them when they're complete.

In the meantime, have a couple of Easter cards to show, which I put together last night. The first is very similar to my 'boingy' card as it's the same stamp and paper so thought I would make use of the leftovers.





Stamp is Whipper Snapper coloured with Prismas and Sansodor and Brushables, with liquid applique on the ears, c.s., flower and brad are Bazzill and paper is from Blonde Moments.

The second card is from an image Fran sent me.......I fell in love with it so just had to buy the stamp!! This is coloured with Brushables which took about two seconds!! All papers are Pink Petticoat, brad is from Poppicrafts and sentiment is from Just Hatched set at Papertrey Ink. Very quick and simple!


The brad has come out a bit brighter than it is in real life.....it's more of a pastel pink. It's really kind of my Sister to lend me her camera, however, I don't like it and can't wait to get my new one. I think I missed it today while I was shopping, as a parcel was delivered but taken back again. Why is it when you pop out for 30 minutes, the Postie decides to bring your parcels?!!! Anyway, they're re-delivering it tomorrow so I'm going nowhere!!!

So fun! Great layout on these. I love both but I have to say the frog is my favorite for the giggle factor. Great job!

hope it's not too windy where you are - seems we have a temporary lull at the moment. Fab cards you've made, I had some of that Blonde Moments paper as a magazine freebie so will have to dig it out!

Fancy a Magnolia?

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over the last six weeks. It's amazing, I really didn't think I would get so many hits when I started out. It really is appreciated. Now to the blog candy......I've thought long and hard about this and decided to do something a little bit different. The reason being, I think even though we enjoy making cards, we're all so busy with birthdays, challenges, and everyday life, so I thought I'd make it simple. I admit to being a bit(?) of a nosey old moo!! so what I would like you to do is send a link to a photo of your craft space. Don't worry how tidy(?)/untidy, small, big, whatever, your space is. Could be a room (I'd kill for one!), a corner of a room (like mine!), a dining room table. It doesn't matter, just add a comment with a link to your blog and if you haven't got a blog, then e-mail me a photo (my e-mail link is in my Profile). Just to get you started, here's my space
