Boy and Girl Hoppy Easter Cards



Finally got around to making these. Rabbit is from Create a Critter at 4.5 inches, grass is from Everyday PaperDolls, basket from Stretch Your Imagination and From My Kitchen for the eggs. Colored stickles the eggs. Stamps from MyPinkStamper. Really easy.


Now off to make goody bags for the kids at school.

Accordion Album


First time I've ever made this. Saw the tutorial on MyPinkStamper and had to make it. It was so easy and fun. Cupcake was cut from Smiley Cards at 4" and used hide/contour the cuts of the face. 1" red ribbon to tie the album down when not in use. Of course, stickles has become my best friend lately.


Since this easy, I will be making two more for my boys so that they can make their own album form our vacation pics. They will have so much fun with their "brag" book. I'll post those once I get it done.

Birthday Banner


Birthday Banner I made for my BFF's daughter's 2nd birthday. Took me quite some time to do it too but had so much fun. Used Smiley Cards for the cake, Create a Critter for the cupcakes, letters are from Storybook and circles cut from Mini Monograms and lots of stickles.

Peeking Out Pooh


This is such a cute Pooh bear. Made this for a good friend's b'day coming up on 4/15. Yup, tax day. Anywho, I've been pretty much dormant since my dad's passing. It's been such a long, rough winter in NY that I end up staying indoors all the time not wanting to go out.


Inside of card: "Peeking out to say Happy Birthday"
Pooh Bear - Disney - Pooh and Friends
Fence - My Community
Grass - Plantin Schoolbook

Banner


This banner I made for Chinese New Year. My mom got really sentimental when she saw this. My dad (who recently passed) used to write these out for the New Year. No such thing as an electronic die cutting machine in the old days. This tradition has been passed down. I really miss him and this helps me keep him in my memories.

V-day card for my Godson


Made this super simple card from my stash. Bee was cut from Create a Critter at 3" and layered. Added "V-day" stamp to it and cut out heart from Spring Holiday Cards at 2.25". Added a blue ribbon to make it more masculine looking. Hope he likes it.

100th Day of School Project


I dread doing this project each year. This year, even my little one in Preschool has to do this project. At least my oldest tells me that he will do it on his own with the Cuttlekids. Phew..... That is one less project I have to do. Anywho, figuring we've had so much snow this year, I made "snowballs" with snowflakes. Used DonJuan cart (remember that old cart?) cut snowflakes at 1" and used Mickey Font for the "100" in the middle cut at 3" and shadow at 3". Cut 4" circles from Mini Monograms. Super easy to make but gluing down all those snowflakes was a PITA. Good thing my little one was there to help out.
