Wishing you...

... a blessed Easter!

Hello everyone 

and a

Happy Easter to you all!

WoW, what a spectacular weekend,

the sun is out, trees and flowers are blooming,

how much better can it get?

One reason I don't  want  to keep you long and

keep this post short and 

sweet so you can get back outside

and enjoy this beautiful weather!

Here is my spring inspired

"Easter Card". 

 Easter girl and little eggs are cut with

the Cricut cartridge 

"A Child's Year".

 Butterfly is also a Cricut cartridge

"Art Philosophy".

 One of my crocheted flowers adorns some punched flower paddles.

 Leaves are a die.

 I could not resist to take a card picture with some

wild purple violets.

We have millions in our yard, BEAUTIFUL!

Sweet Easter treats for sweet co-workers!

 Labels are cut with the Cricuts cartridge

"Lacy Labels".

 Stamps are from Studio G.

A basket full of sweet Easter wishes!

Hope your basket is filled with lots of sweetness aswell!!!

Wishing you a wonderful and blessed

Easter Holiday!

Enjoy the beautiful weather

and

Thanks for taking the time to visit!

Burlap Wreath!

Hello everyone!

First I need to apologies for

neglecting to post to my Blog,

but I have a good excuse...

... the weather!

It is absolutely gorgeous and

I been spending many hours outside,

partly getting the yard ready for planting season

and the other part on the bleacher watching

the boys play baseball.

But I got some creative time in too.

Recently our Public Library is offering 

"Burlap Wreath making classes",

absolutely totally for FREE!!!

Yes, I can't pass up a free thing

and since I didn't wanted to go by myself

I talked some girlfriends into coming along.

I have to tell you we had a

 BLAST!

Here is my wreath from the first class,

made from an 12 inch base.

I found the wooden letter and frame at Michaels.

Not to bad for my first.

And this is the wreath from the second class.

This one was larger, 18 inch base,

and the burlap was a bit different.

I already had the 

"Happy Easter" sign 

and as you can see I cheated a little

and just hung it on the wreath.

Since the sign is not permanently attached

I can redecorate the wreath after easter is over.

The girls and I had so much fun we keep on 

going back for more,

HaHa, maybe we will end up with a wreath 

for every door in the house!!!

Thanks for stopping in!

Hope you all have a wonderful creative week

and maybe I inspired you to make a

"Burlap Wreath" for your door!

Just a bit more Green!

Hello and

happy first week of Spring to you!

HURRAH we actually made it!

SPRING!

You can feel the change in the air,

a little hint of green on the Willow tree,

spring flowers blooming and

a few warm enough days you can open the windows.

I can't wait to spend more hours outside and 

start planting.

Already,  pansies and cold crop are for sale

and I'm having a hart time not to buy,

but more snow in the forecast for next week!!! 

Passions, it can't last forever!

You have to excuse me,

I'm a little late on this post.

St. Patrick's Day milk carton treat containers.

 The milk carton is a Stampin'Up! die.

Shamrock a punch from Martha Stewart.

 "Pinch Proof" stamp from Stampin'Up!

 All other stamps are from "Studio g".

I filled the milk cartons with Hershey Gold Nuggets

for a sweet St. Patrick's Day treat.

 One more GREEN thing before I let you go.

Spring also means the beginning of 

Baseball season for us.

Greenwave Baseball that is!

 Our first week of games is off to a great start.

Our youngest is playing Junior Varsity and

Varsity this year.

Guess I will be living on a bleacher for a few month,

YAY lucky me!  

So proud! 

Thanks for stopping in,

hope you have a great week

and maybe you will be catching a game or two!

A little bit of GREEN!

Hello everyone

and a wonderful Sunday to you!

The sun is out, the snow is melting

and the windows are open to

let some fresh air in.

My husband dusted off the grill and

we had our first BBQ of the year.

Yes, maybe the winter who won't end

is finally on the way out of here.

Since the weather was so nice I decided 

to take the pictures for this post outside. 

I know it's a bit early but here is my

St. Patrick's Day card.

This is a no stamp card,

very fast and easy to do.

Punched four leave clover for good luck and

rhinestones for bling.

 I found the pattern for the shamrock on Pinterest.
The antique doily is a die cut from QuicKutz.

May the luck of the Irish be with you all year!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!!!

 A bit more green, this one from mother nature!

Our first Snowdrops.

Thanks for stopping by!
Wishing you a wonderful start to the workweek!

Enjoy the Journey!

Hello

and happy Sunday to you all!

Sorry for posting so late,

but the weekend was absolutely fantastic.

The sun came out and with

temperatures in the 60,

a little spring teaser,

I just couldn't resist to go outside and

play in the yard.

Well not really playing but actually 

hard labor,

picking up sticks and branches from 

our last ice storm 

and cleaning out the flower beds a little.

I hate to say it but it felt good!

So tired of ice, snow and 

cold temperatures,

COME ON SPRING!!!

The only good thing about cold weather,

I have more time to make cards.

This is the card I made for my Dad's

Birthday in March!

 Just a little washer I tide to the poster.

The "Railroad Poster" is a Stampendous stamp,

tickets and sentiment are from the Tim Holtz

stamp set "The Journey",

train and hand are from Hero Art

"Past Time".

Thanks for stopping by, 

hope you enjoyed looking around!

Have a great week everyone!

Love is in the Air...

 ... it sure is!!!

Hello everyone!

Getting ready for the sweetest day of the year

"Valentine's Day".

Here is the card I made for family

and friends this year.

Sentiments are stamped with the

Recollections stamp set "Valentine". 

 Cupid is a die and hearts are punches.

The wings are from the

Cricut cartridge "Indie Art".

 And here is the matching little

treat bag for the card.

Filled with lots and lots of

CHOCOLATE!

Hope you all have the sweetest 

Valentine's Day ever!!!

 Well, not just Love is in the air,

but also ice and snow.

This is what we been looking at the

last few weeks.

 When the sun comes out it is the most

breathtaking sight I ever seen.

It feels like you are surrounded by sparkling crystals.

This is the few from my stamp-room window.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

From snowy and cold Kentucky,

wishing you all a great week 

and

a heart warming

Happy Valentine's Day!

"Grow your BLOG" party!

Hello everyone 

and

WELCOME 

to

and my humble Blog!

Before I get to myself and what I do

I would like to thank Vicky at

"2Bags Full"

for sponsoring this wonderful event.

I started "My Paper Daisy" in 2010 to share
all the little things I love to do and create.
The blog is a  little bit of everything but mostly my
love, or you could say,
my addiction to
stamping and card making!!!
Blogging sure has been an adventure
and opened a whole new world to me.
Over the last few years I met so many wonderful like minded
creative people who kept me inspired with
 their great ideas and most of all there incredible talent!

Before I take off and join the party
I would like to share some of my favorite cards with you.

Thank you so much for taking the time and stopping by!
I hope you like what you see and come back often!
Happy Blog Hopping!!!
