Joy

It's time for me to start making Christmas cards once a week so that I have them done by the time I need them.  Christmas Card Challenges is anything goes this week, and Christmas Inspirations is looking for a round card.  Well, that led me right to the sketch at Stamp TV:

Here's what I came up with using Bo Bunny Noel:

That lace is so pretty, and I found it at a flea market.  Every once in a while I go to an antique store or flea market to see what kind of treasures I can find.  Lace and buttons are usually a for sure find.  The stamp is Penny Black, the pearls are Recollection, and the buttons are CTMH.

A Little Basket for You

I saw the instuctions for making this basket on Stamp TV, and I thought it was the cutest little thing! 

I think this would be a really fun way to hand deliver an Easter gift!  I make my own paper shreds from scraps that aren't really useful for anything else.  Perfect way to recycle paper and that way they always match the project.  All supllies for this project are from CTMH.  I cut the ovals using nestabilities, and I cut the dimensional butterfly using my Spring Slice design card.

I can actually enter this into quite a few challenges (yippee! - that's pretty good for me!):

• Totally Papercrafts - spring time
• Tellen's Place - Easter
• Frosted Designs - handmade embllishment
• Our Creative Corner - 3D Easter project
• Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - Easter
