Happy Easter Everybody!!!

It feels so good to actually have made a card, its been over a week.  Since I got out of the hospital after being in for 48 hours I hadn't done much except work and sleep.  I had colored this super cute carrott bunny, called Dusty Bunny,  a couple of weeks ago and had planned to show it to you last week but I just got the card made.  This little fiunny Bunny and I just want to wish you a Happy Easter and let you know that I should be posting regularly again, thanks for not leaving me LOL!!!  Enough of the BlaBlaBla:

Isn't he just the cutest little bunny.  I thought he deserved this beautiful doilie which started out white and i airbrushed it to match the cute polka dot dp.  The edges were spongerd and a few strands of bakers twine were wound around the bottom and tied in a bow. 

The upper right corner touts a beautiful flower cut from bakers parchment paper, I airbrushed the edges and gently molded it from the back side and put them all together with a brad. 

Do you see the 3 cute tiny blue buttons on the left side?  They came in a package all the way from England and sent by Jak as the prize for winning a contest to add a slogan to a picture of her darling grandson Jack.....I was so excited I won and even more excited when I got her lovely package of wonderful dp and embellishments....

I hope you all get all the chocolate bunnies and Easter Eggs you deserve!!!  Me I prefer the Malted milk ball Robin's Eggs Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Sassy Tuesday!! A New Challenge :)

Wasn't the Sassy Cheryl's Blog Hop fun last week?  Are you ready for another Sassy Challenge brought to you by the incredibly talented Sassy Sister, Jackie.  Jackie has chosen the theme Pink and White:  Here is what I created:

Okay, I have to admit the reason there is way too much blue on this pink and white card is,  I always write down my challenges, the hostess and theme on a large desk calendar so I can glance at the calendar and see what I need to get done for the week.  Obviously, it didn't work this week, as I wrote down Spring instead of Pink and White... Sorry Jackie, it still is pink and white,,,,,,,,and blue!!

The image is a new super cute Bunny image called Decked Out Easter Bunny, isn't he just too cute?!?  I colored with copic markers and sponged with distress ink.  The corner scrolls were cut with my cricut.

Three buttons tied with yard , three pink roses  and a blue bow and band to finish off this super fun card.

Be sure to stop by the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has in store for you, I peeked and the creations are even more outstanding than usual, so you know it will be great.

Be sure to check out the Sassy Cheryl's Store as she has announced she will have 10......yes 10 new images for your coloring pleasure. I have seen them and they are soooooooooooo perfect and a wonderful variety of inages for all your card making/scrapbooking needs.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day

Is it really almost Easter?!? Sassy Cheryl's Challenge

My dear friend, Peggy Marsh, is the hostess this week for the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge and she has chosen the theme. Spring--Easter Parade.  I love the new bunnies, Sassy Boss Lady, Cheryl has come up with this week and chose The Dancing Easter Bunny for my project:

In trying to keep with the more pastel spring colors I used pink and green to color my Dancing Bunny with copic markers. The edge was sponged with pink distress ink and the upper right corner was punched with a MS corner punch.

The flowers under the bunny feet are flower soft and the colors weren't as pink as I thought huh?!?  The  bow was tied and attached to the pink ribbon band around the middle of the card.

A trio of pretty pink roses with leaves in the upper left corner and this little beauty is ready to spread Easter Cheer!!

Be sure to stop by the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge blog and check out the rest of the DT creations, then grab an image and play along with us.  I got a peek of the new images Cheryl has put in the store for this Challenge and they are adorable.  bunnies, kids, easter eggs....check it out!!!

Just Because!!!

I have been really busy the past couple of weeks with DT stuff that I can't show you yet :) but I decided that I wanted to color, just because I wanted to color, and chose Mo's Digital Pencil Savannah  on Easter to color.  Here is what I came up with:

I wanted a bright springy image so I used copic markers to color in shades of yellow and yellow-red.

I created the white lacy layer using my new Martha Stewart punch around the corner punch set that I just happened to have a 40% coupon for. 

The yellow dp is from my stash .  The flower in the upper right corner is punched from the same dp .  The half pearls add a bit of elegance to the corners of the lacy punched border.

So my Just Because card is complete and now I have to get busy on finishing up with a jam packed week of new releases, blog hope and sneak peeks.  Be sure you stop back on Monday for the first of the Riley and Company sneak peeks, Tuesday will have the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge  and a Riley and Company sneak peek, Wednesday will have a Riley and Company sneak peek, The Artistic Outpost is releasing their newest stamp sets,  and at 9pm Central time the Riley and Company is having a Blog Hop of the new release images,  Thursday is Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge day, my 3rd week as hostess :),  Friday may be a day of rest LOL.

Fun filled week with lots of prizes and sales so be sure to stop in a see what is going on!!!

Thanks for stopping by

Finally got to use this sentiment!!! and an Easter Card

I have wanted to use this sentiment for years.  I love it, but it just never fit anything I made, until today!!!
Sassy Cheryl's has a digital image called Dancing Debbie,  well to me she looks like she is putting that left foot out and shaking it all about!!!  See....

Yes, I am old enough to remember the Hokey Pokey...Yeah, and a lot of you are too!!!  Dancing Debbie just looks to me like she is doing the Hokey Pokey and loving it!

Hey, how do you like my brad in the upper right corner.  I got the I-Top brad maker today with my 40% off coupon for Michaels.  I really like the MS medallion punch and I like the way that the small brad made from my dp, looks in the center of it, don't you?

You can get the brads in small, medium and large.  

I used my Elegant Tags from Spellbinders to make the sentiment tag, the sentiment fits just perfectloy in it. 

I also want to share an Easter card I made with two of Sassy Cheryl's images that I merged into one card using Photo Shop Elements 7. 

I had so much fun coloring this with copics, but it is hard to decide what colors to use when there are so many designs on the eggs LOL.

Not much explanation needed on this card.  Wonderful images for a fun colorful Easter card.

The Sassy Cheryl's images used for this were Easter Basket and Funky Bunny2.

Well, hope you are having a great week-end.  I have to go back to work tomorrow but will have another Mo's Digital Pencil card for you tomorrow. 

My Mo's Digital blog hop winner , Candy, contacted me today so she is getting her Angelina image. 

I know this is a short post but I have some more work to get done before I go to bed. I am finishing my card for the Riley and Company challenge this week.  You all need to come and play along with us. 

Thanks for stopping by, always glad to have you.

Happy Coloring
