Easter Bunnies?

    The thing about bunnies is that they multiply like rabbits!  The problem with Easter Bunny is that he doesn't multiply and, therefore, has to do all the egg decorating and hiding all by himself.  lol  Here's a little gal who's trying to change that.  Image by Bugaboo Stamps.

I used the sketch from Stella Says Sketch,

Friends and Flowers

     Welcome to my blog on another Friday, the day our new challenges always start over at QKR Stampede.  Our theme is always Anything Goes and you can use any image or other products from any company.  However, keep in  mind that if you do use QKR images (or their sister company, Eureka), your entry goes into as separate draw and that increases your chances of winning by a huge margin!

     My DT card today uses both an image and a sentiment from Eureka Stamps - "Bouquet" and "Friends are the Flowers."  Can you tell I'm ready for spring to be here?  Our temperatures on Wednesday broke a record which had stood since the mid-1900s - we hit 82 F and it did feel like spring!  Today they say we'll hit 83.  My apologies to those of you still buried in snow (and/or getting more) for even mentioning that.

Skating By

     A few days back, my oldest granddaughter (she just turned 21) was over again and we got involved in crafting cards.  She loved this LeAnn's World image of a skater which I had already colored and die cut so she asked if she could use it to design a card.  Making cards is very new to her, although she's watched me make them the majority of her life.  She has even assisted me on a few cards but this was the first one she's done where she took the lead and had all the design decisions.

     I love where her creativity took her, especially the hand-folded frame she put around the image.  Very difficult and I never would have tried that myself!  I did suggest the snowflakes in lieu of flowers for this card and she agreed.  :-D
