Quick Share

Good Morning All! I know long time no post. Couldn't be helped, with having tons of invites to do, Teacher appreciation gifts, wedding invites, oh and baseball practice, games...yeah never ending.  But I wanted to share the card that I made for my Mother.  I hope that each of you that are Mom's had a VERY wonderful MOTHER'S Day and that you spent it just the way you wanted!  I have got more goodies lined up this week so come back and check it out.  Thanks for stopping by!

So here it is! Super Simple and easy to make. I used the Bigz L Die Fun Flowers #121812 which is still available to purchase. You can't tell to much from the picture but I sprayed the petals with water scrunched it up let kit dry then sprayed with Shimmer Mist. LOVE this card. Doesn't have to be from Mother's Day it can be for anything.

 Cardstock used was Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake. Early Espresso satin Ribbon.

Easter Bunny Card

Happy Saturday! 

I have yet another Bunny for you! I LOVE this Top Note Bunny!

Got the idea from Maria Cameron on Stampin' Connection who I believe got it from Terri Ransom. They made a box.

I could not resist making one.  I just added mine to a card...but you could easily put on in Front of the Fancy Favor box....which hmmmm....I do have and could show you later!  I will list all the supplies on that post. ; )

Now this would make a cute "Some Bunny Loves you card too" Doesn't have to be just for Easter.

Anyway, hope you enjoy heading out to take my son to Breakfast and then Easter Egg Hunting at the Fields should be fun!

If you have any questions please let me know.

 Happy Stampin',
