Happy Easter, Happy Spring!

It's Saturday, the day before Easter.  It's a cool, rainy afternoon and I decided to make a couple tags to enter some challenges.  I am always charmed with Gerda Steiner images.  I used 2 of them for these tags: 

The 2 Gerda Steiner images I used were Nerdy but Nice on the first tag and Bunny with Carrot on the second tag.  Both digis were colored with Copic markers.  

Papers for these tags are digital.  They are found at Snap Click Supply and are Lori Whitlock's Easter Friends papers. 

I used some goodies I won in a challenge from Eyelet Outlet.   I used Pastel Rabbit Brads and 12 MM white/black jewels. 

Dies for these tags are from Craftin' Desert Divas and Paper Wishes.  Sentiments are from My Pink Stamper.  Fibers are from Close To My Heart.

I had a great time making these tags, being creative on a rainy afternoon.  Now, to make some supper!

I'd like to enter these in the following challenges:

Tons of Love -- for Great Impressions Stamps

It's another Saturday, and another post for Great Impressions Stamps. I am having so much fun on this team!

Today, I'm showing off the delightful Heart Struck Elephant(F571):

I colored Heart Struck elephant (F571) with Copic markers, and fussy cut it out. I mounted this onto a circle die cut. Then I stamped the coordinating sentiment A Ton (B238) directly onto the card base. 

I try to make Valentine cards for all the residents in the nursing home where I work.  I've got one more for the pile!  Yea!

Dogs Leave Pawprints In Our Hearts -- for Great Impressions

It's Saturday, and I'm posting for Great Impressions Stamps blog.  I poured my heart into today's piece of art.  My good friend recently lost her 15 year old Golden Retriever.  I've been wanting to come up with a remembrance piece to give her.  I wanted it to be sweet, but not too sad.  Here's it is:

I used Great Impressions rubber stamp Valentine Sparky (F600), and colored the stamped image with Copic markers.  The sentiment is a combination of computer generating and brads from Eyelet Outlet. 

The frame is a lot of layered pieces.  It is an SVG cutting file from My Scrap Chick. The designer paper is from Echo Park - Bark Collection.  Ribbon is 3 Girl JAM. Flowers are also Eyelet Outlet. 

My friend is getting her piece of artwork tomorrow.  I hope she likes it.  I sure enjoyed creating it for her!

Friends Make Life Sweet

I have a treat bag to share today that I made for a color challenge I found at the Eyelet Outlet blog.  It is also one of 3 pieces I submitted for their design team call.  I love to add embellishments to projects, and they've got such great stuff!  I'm hopeful....

On to the treat bag:

The treat bag itself is from Close To My Heart.   I decorated it by using some die cuts -- from Paper Wishes, ribbon from 3 Girl JAM,   & a stamped sentiment from Joy's Life Stamps.  Everything is else from Eyelet Outlet -- cooking brads, cupcake, lips, and keyboard washi tape. 

This is the color scheme I used for the treat bag:

This treat bag was filled with some yummy chocolates, and was delivered to a very sweet friend.  She loved it!
