Happy Easter

Hello
and
Happy Spring to Everyone!

I can not believe Easter is right upon us
but believe me 
I'm definitely ready for spring.
Ready to say Goodbye to gray, cold and gloomy days
and Hello to
beautiful blooms, sunshine and time spend outdoors tending to the garden.
Hoping with mother natures coming back to live and her renewed beauty
 I can give my mind a break from the craziness of the world, the sorrow, 
sadness and unbelievable heartbreak. 
I'm counting my blessings this Easter season that we still live in
a free county but also living with a realization that this is a 
gift we should not take for granted for.
Our family and friends in Europe are never far from my mind and
I'm praying for a peaceful Easter for them.
This years Easter card really does not have a title but maybe
I just wanted to send a message of "Hope".
Blue Bunny and yellow chick where cut with the 
Spellbinders Large Die of the Month,
March 2021, DOML-MAR21.
Little flowers are punches and grass is also from the 
Spellbinders Large Die of the Month, DOML-MAR21.
Sentiment was stamped with Spellbinders SFJ stamp set
"Joyful Greetings", 
SS-0689.
Small and large stitched oval border 
was die cut with
Spellbinders Small Die of the Month, DOM-FEB22.

 Thank you for stopping by!
Wishing you and your family
a
Blessed
and
Peaceful
Easter Season!

LOVE, love and XOXO!

Hello everyone
and 
Happy Valentines Day 
to all!
I know I'm a day early but it is never to early to
celebrate the people you love and cherish!
 
This years Valentines Day card started out to be just a pre-foiled heart border card
I found at Michaels and after adding a few things hear and there,
 mostly leftover from previous projects and 
some new additions, it ended up to be more like a collage card.
But I liked the simplicity of the lay out and the clean look so I rolled with it.
Hearts where cut with the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month, DOML-Jan18.
Cursive "love" was cut with the Spellbinders Glimmer Kit of the Month, GOM-JAN20
and XOXO are letters cut from the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month, DOM-AUG20.
Flowers was made with different size punches and layered and the large 
"Love" was die cut with a die set I got from Hobby Lobby.
I decided to go a bit of a different rout for the Grandkids Valentines gifts,
no card this year, instead each one received a small personalized mailbox filled with sweets.

Well and I couldn't resist to make a Valentines T-shirt for Queen Bee.
She will be styling in school tomorrow. 


I hope you enjoyed looking around
and come back often for more creative ideas.
Remember it's never to late to start a new hobby,
why not give it a try maybe with a handmade
Valentines Day Card.
I hope you have the sweetest
Valentines Day ever!
Thank you for your visit!
