Easter's on it's Way!

Just a couple of little Easter cards I whipped

up over the past day or so.

I am really enjoying making my own rosettes

and think one of the best videos

on how to make them is by Meg from Archivers.

I love this fun paper from Kaisercraft.  It's from the

'Bubblegum Hills' Collection and has some great ways it

can be cut apart for card makers.

All the stamps are from Hampton Arts.

Here is another version, but this time, I stamped

white cardstock in alternating pink and green inks

using this lace doily from Hero Arts.

I then placed it on top of aNOTHer stamped lace

doily, which was white embossed.

This fun Easter DP is from The Paper Company.

I had to break out a Martha punch for the heart

border, just for something a little different.

I love the sketch which is from Hero Arts

and Paige from CARDS is looking for Easter

projects this week, so will share these with her.

Hope you have had a lovely weekend.

There are storms brewing headed towards

Northern Illinois, so not sure how my weekend

will end, but I am sure all will be well.

OH....thought I would share our newest house guest

with you!  Paul added to my ever-growing collection

of rabbits...not just stuffed, but of many forms, but

Hazel is on a whole new dimension....

She is a 4-ft beauty and all decked out!

So I guess my weekend is ending quite nicely....
