A few easter/spring cards to share!

Graveyard bird?

So, kids think this looks like a tombstone in a graveyard with a bird sitting on it. COme on! It's creative genius!! I used journaling lines for background, cut out the birds which I "rock & rolled" in different inks. Gorgeous...in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Brayered mini card

New Cricut Cards

Scallops!!!!!!!!!

No...no.. not the seafood...The PUNCH! I have been wanting, needing, craving these punches for months...I got local art shop to order them (Since LSS didn't want to, @@). And got them both tonight..yeehaw!

Love the little chick from EGG Cited (CTMH) and the simple way the punch dresses up the card!

SLED-with Just Chillin"

Not sure why it took me so long to use these GORGEOUS papers on a layout! I love the colors. I used ribbon I bought on ebay, some chip letters (came in a HUGE stack from LSS for like $5!). And Cherish for layout idea!

help me with blog banner!!

I want to add my own image to my blog banner....get rid of the stock one. I have done it before...but on old blogger...now I CANNOT figure it out! Someone...if you know an easy way to explain it...I'd really appreciate it. I have searched & found a few instructions...but nothing seems to be working for me.

2.28 2 Peas Blog

Haven't been to 2 Peas in FOREVER and saw the blogger thread....here is the thought of the day:
would you live your life any differently if you didn't care what people thought??
AND my answer:
Maybe. Sometimes I act like it doesn't matter what people think. I often say things I shouldn't, make comments before thinking them through. Do I regret that? No. It's who I am.

I think I live my life for me, for my kids, for my family....sometimes I succumb to the expectations of competing moms, wives, etc. That...that I would change. I wouldn't try to compete.

Winter Blues

While trying to beat the winter blues...I was forced to scrapbook winter pix....GAG! This stupid snow has been here since 12/20! It's the end of FEBRUARY! Most of it is gone, but guess what we woke up to today? MORE SNOW! Nothing accumulating .... but still...it's white!

These are not the greatest photos..but make me laugh. Cuz that day there were many men contemplating the removal of snow.



And need to use up scraps so that they don't accumulate...so lots of "boy" cards...need some?? I got a fewI can sell ya!

cards from scraps

Inspiration from a mug

I bought this mug (although I don't need it) cuz I LOVED the colors & layers of images. I needed to recreate it. My attempts did not satisfy my need, so I will try again later tonight. I think the "emerging color' technique would work great, but didn't on my try. Need to find a different stamp set to use.

Here is the mug:

And here are a couple of the cards:

And another....

Layout! All about me & my day. Very messy layout...and scattered LIKE ME!

Pam's Challenge. thanks!

And a layout...

I used the cricut (stamped) to cut the title letters & tags....

Got me a cricut!

Here are two cards I made..nothin to crazy cuz I am just playing with it now.

Vintage Valentines Cards

I just LOVE this stamp set...obviously one of those cards is a winter card...but same colors. I really like the vintage images on the others....not my normal style...but still like it!
