Basket of Easter Eggs

 I wanted to complete this card before the day was over.  It is now after 11:00 p.m. and I think I am going to make it.  

This is my take on FMS #726.  It took a while to put it together, but I love the way it turned out.

The designer paper is from a Carta Bella paper pack called Here Comes Easter.  For the base, I embossed a piece of very light pink card stock with Waterfall embossing folder by Couture Creations.  The tag is from Round Tags Trio by Carta Bella.

The Easter basket is a die set called Eggcellent Easter Basket by Lawn Fawn.  Also, the sentiment is a die by Lawn Fawn.

I added a bit of grass just for fun.

Stack of Books

 

This is a card created for Splitcoast Stampers Sketch SS1102.  The background paper and fishtail tags are from Newton's Nook Coffee House Stories paper pad.

The stack of books is from a stamp set by Catherine Pooler called Floral Fiction.  I colored the image and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock that I masked with an oval stencil in teal.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I had to round the corners of the tags with a corner punch.

Fairy Wishes

 I decided to try my hand at The Paper Players theme challenge.  This is PP775 and also Splitcoast Stampers Sketch SC1103.

The theme is Mythical Creatures.  I went with a mushroom house and fairies.

I stamped the mushroom house with a stamp set by Lesia Zgharda called Fairy Tale House-Mushroom.  I colored it with colored pencils and cut it out with a stitched oval die that I ink blended.  

I placed little fairies all around the house.  These fairies are from a die set by Trinity Stamps called Fairy Trio.  They are so cute with their little wands.  I put some silver stickle near the fairy sitting on top of the house to make it look like she was blowing fairy dust.  There is also some stickle near the other two fairies' wands.

The sentiment is from Creative Expressions: Fairy Sentiments.

Delicate Blooms

 It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  It has reached 50 degrees here in Hartford.  This will definitely help to melt all the snow that we have.

I'm sharing by card for FMS #725.  

The background paper is "Here Comes Easter" by Carta Bella.

The focal shape that I used is from a die set by Honey Bee Stamps called "Ocean Deep Scene Builder".  I used the next biggest die from it.  I embossed it with "Bubble Wrapping" embossing folder by Sizzix.

The flowers are a combination of "Blossom Bunch" by Impression Obsession and "Wildflower 5" by Paper Rose.

The sentiment is from "Full Bloom Sentiments" by Waffle Flower.

Full Blooms

 Yesterday, we had a blizzard.  Blizzard Calvin was its name and boy, was it a doozy!

Blowing snow and it just kept piling up!  Thank goodness for snowblowers.  My husband worked hard at getting up the snow.  I helped a little. 😊

Now, on to my card.  This is for Try A Sketch On Tuesday, TSOT #689.  I thought these were some nice colors to work with.  The flowers are from a die set by Waffle Flower: Sweet Poppy.  Sentiment is also Waffle Flower: Full Bloom Sentiments.

Time to Read

 I made a boo-boo the last time.  I forgot to link my card to the sketch blog.  Well, not this time.

This is for Freshly Made Sketches #724.  I went with books.  Actually, I'm trying to get back into reading more.

I used the die set by Waffle Flower: Layered Books.

The sentiment is also from Waffle Flower: Simple Book Sentiments.

I like how the teal colors all come together.

Floating Feathers

 Today is February 14Th, Valentine's Day.  Got a box of chocolates from hubby. Gave him an engraved rock that said, "You're My Rock". 

I like this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  You can do a lot with it.  

This is my take on FMS #723.

The background paper is Anything Goes by Echo Park.  It was perfect for the feathers.  

The feathers are from Paper Rose called Feather Trio.  

The middle section is one of the dies from Labels 33 by Spellbinders.
