Wishing somebunny a special Happy Easter

How about this yummy looking cupcake on your Easter table this year?

Maybe one at each setting to bring a little Spring to the festivities.

My son said it almost looks good enough to eat.  I shall take his word for it as he provided the styrofoam ball for the "cake"...found from an old science project. 

 Love it when I can re-use something.

To create this I used a loop punch to make my cupcake tin.  

Then I sprayed Glimmer Mist on the ball and decorated with Liquid Pearls.

I made a little pedestal of sorts for my cupcake by using 

Nestabilites and popping each one up with dimensionals.

To top off my cupcake I glued on a white bloomer and dabbed a little more "frosting" on it....

with some sparkly Stickles for the cherry on top.

My tag was made from a die, then sponged around, stamped and decorated with a few white pearls.

A pinch of this

Good morning and happy Monday. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I know I did. I got tons of work done and spent tons of time with my family at the same time.

Well it is officially March (I can't believe it). That means there is a new Stamp of the Month! Go check it out. Also I hope you stopped by yesterday because we started our new monthly challenge as well.

Tons of new things huh. Don't forget the new store is open to so go do a little Spring shopping!

Today I have a new card I made using some new My Mind's Eye Paper, colored the stamp with some copics, and added some lace for more country feel. I used the scalloped rectangle die to cut out a window so you could see the love coming from this card.

Heap of Love

i know my post is short but you got a lot to look at with the NEW CHALLENGE, the NEW STAMP of the MONTH, and to go shopping.

Don't forget Jenny will be back tomorrow with something for you.

Go make a Great Impression!

Okay...so let's get started:

CHALLENGE #1

Something Handmade

~Fairly easy....just add something to your project that is handmade. Now...the girls on the DT took my handmade to heart and I think they thought I meant they needed to make "something" so they went above and beyond for this challenge but from all of you...I just need to see something handmade on your project or you can make "some" "thing" if you want...it's up to you!

Here is the work of the DT:

Angi:

She made this stunning sachet

Before

After

April:
I did a handmade flower on my card that I just learned to do.

With age comes Wisdom...

Remember the times you could walk hand in hand

with your older brother or sister?  How you 

just assumed they knew everything because they where older...  

This adorable stamp reminds me of that innocent time

Best Friends {J43}

The Queen colored this sweet stamp

with her copic markers...

Added some of The Queen's  Royal Twine using 

Majestic Mango...

Used the sentiment stamp 

With age comes wisdom

(You're one of the wisest people I know)

Love all the color tones for this

 will be starting a monthly challenge!  so make sure you

come back tomorrow to join in all the FUN...

Fabulous Friday~Bunny in Egg Balloon

Good morning and Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have enjoyed your week and are ready for your weekend!

Before I get started on my post I wanted to share with you that starting Sunday....March 4th Great Impressions will be starting a monthly challenge! I will be updating the blog over the next day or two to reflect the rules, how you can easily find the challenges and so forth so be on the lookout! But the challenge will run for an entire month and there will be prizes awarded and a Top 3 each month! So I hope that you will all come out and join us for our very first challenge starting Sunday!!

So today I used Bunny in Egg Balloon and decided that the egg just needed to be paper pieced. This image is just so darn cute with that bunny's big floppy ears.  Once I finally decided on a layout (which is the hardest part to come up with for me) it all came together pretty quickly and easily. However...I'm not loving my overstickled yellow flowers...yikes! They may actually have to come off! But overall...this for me is super springy and I love spring!!! My sentiment is computer generated by me. I didn't have anything fitting for this card so I just made my own.

Have a fabulous weekend and don't forget to drop by the store and take a look around if you haven't been there already and come and join us on Sunday!!!!

These Old Boots...

I don't know about you, but hiding out in my closet from the fashion police is a pair of old shoes... platform sandals...an old pair of thick Sketchers that are like walking on air...wrapped in silky soft fabric...

They're red, white and blue. Yep.

Worn for many summers...should be retired, but no matter how worn the fabric, how 'off' the white...I just can't give them up! Even if it means I only wear them out into the yard where no one else can see...

Hence the inspiration for this card...using "Old Boots" and "Western Boots" stamps from The March Stamp of the Month Program available today exclusively from your participating local stores!

And because us girls aren't the only ones that need a little upkeep, I decided to make this one a masculine card - a.k.a. sans ribbon and girly colors.

I know it's hard to tell from the above photo that this is a window card...so here's another picture for ya'll!

The sentiment stamp "Old Boots" is one stamp, three lines. I only stamped the first two on the front and stamped the last line by itself to use on the inside of the card...

If you look closely at the "Western Boots" stamp it has flowers on it - definitely girly! To remedy that bit I just used a cotton swab and dabbed it on the embossing powder to 'erase' the flowers before I hit it with the heat gun. Easy peasy!

Pssst! If you haven't signed up to be a follower, hurry up - you don't want to miss out on any of the March fun that's being stirred up around here!

Inky hugs,
Angi
