Ch# 2 Easter

My Design Team Project

 

Easter already?! Seems like I was just wishing it would hurry up and snow, and now winter has come and gone and Spring has arrived. 

Here are my project details. I wanted to use up some scraps, so I made these cards a bit different in size than I normally do to fit my die cuts I created with scraps.

Card 3 3/4" x 5 1/2"

Inside mat 3 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Outside mat 3 5/8" x 5 1/4"

Hi Ya!

Good morning, Crafters!

Today is a very special day at our house because our daughter and her family are on a plane headed this way! They have about 30 more minutes in their 5 1/2 hour flight from Atlanta to Seattle. That was after driving 3 hours to get to the Atlanta airport. Their next flight is from Seattle to Anchorage, and it will be a little over 3 1/2 hours for that one.  Keri and Aaron are traveling with our 6 year old grandson and our 6 month old grandson we haven't met yet. I hope it's a good experience for them.

Today's Flower Card

Hi, Crafters!

I'm excited to share a simple, stamped flower card with you today. You know, I go through waves of loving to die cut and paper piece, to love using print then cuts, to stamping, etc. Right now I'm on a little stamping kick. 

I recently got Mary's Cardz TV Stamps set, Pretty Posey. I really want to learn how to color. I need lots of practice. I stamped a bunch of the images from this Pretty Posey set and ran them through my Brother Scan 'n Cut.  Some I colored with different pens and markers just to practice. I used crayons, Spectrum Aqua markers, Spectrum Noir markers, and Stampin' Up markers. I don't know what works for me best yet, so I keep trying them all. I was trying to give the clay pots a look like it just rained and the pot is still damp, but drying out. I think they turned out pretty good for a beginner.

Pocket Letter

Hi, Crafters!

Sometimes it's fun to be creative,

and also be simple in your crafting.

Today I have a very simple Pocket Letter to share with you.

I've used paper pieced die cuts, print then cuts, and embellishment elements from various sources. Tim Holtz charm hanging from trendy Twine.

Thank you for visiting with me today.

I'd love to hear from you in the comments.
