Triple-Egg Medley

Good Monday morning!  I know most of you are experiencing sub-zero temps - but I am out on the patio enjoying a cup of coffee - beautiful weather her!

Today's card was made for the Queen of Cards challenge by Cardmaking and More - the challenge being to use the triple-stamp technique.  I used digital egg images from Rena Designs.

Easter Fun Collection

Retirement has been a great time to relax and recharge.  I needed this when I faced is finicky cutting machine yesterday.  One new blade housing (and about 7 hours) later - I finally got a couple cute Easter cards completed.  I think these capture fun and festive Easter moments.

The owl is available from Miss Kate Cuttables.

Visit Fluerette Bloom for the Peeps.  

Suzy Bee's Challenge - Monochrome

Hi, All!

Today's cards are a couple in the bunch of Easter cards made yesterday.

I always look forward to Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge with a twist - and after spending hours on the first card (my eClips wasn't playing nice), I see this week's challenge twist is just what I had been working on - monochrome.

For the lacy background I welded together four pieces of Serenade Lace (SVGCuts) with a 1/4" border.  The flowers are from Wedding Card with Flower (SVG Shop).

Below is another Easter card I made - and when finished, thought "rather monochrome!"  Ha - who would know it would be perfect for Suzy Bee's challenge?  The image here is Bunny and Chick Topper (Bugaboo).

Filigree Quail

It's time to celebrate!  I found an awesome quail!  This quail is from Tangles Graphics - check her work out....can't beat the price!

Happy Ladybug Cards and Swaps - Sketch Challenge

Hello! Sending you lots of butterfly love today! Hope you're having a wonderful week!

For today's card, I entered a Sketch challenge with Happy Ladybug Cards and Swaps. I turned the

I turned the sketch on its side - allowing me to use the Miss You sentiment I had printed.  I finished the card off with some green butterflies - very simple card today!

Bingo Challenge: Happy Ladybug Cards and Swaps

I've been participating in a lot of swaps with Happy Ladybug Cards and Swaps...Oh, and don't forget new Challenges this year!  That's where I came across this Bingo Challenge.  I was intrigued - so joined.  I was not so enthused when I received my personal challenge based on the numbers I picked - Distressed, Pop-Up, No Words, Stitching, and Buttons.  I don't generally do Distress, Stitching, and Buttons!  But I finally ended up with a card I'm pretty pleased with.

Outdoor Relaxing Cards

Hi, All!

Yesterday's "goal" was to get rid of some outdoor-patterened paper I've had hanging around for years - as well as some extra sentiments I had laying around.  Looking at these cards today, I'm pretty happy with them.  (Was not impressed last night - but you know how that goes.)

I have five cards here perfect for my brother-in-law's birthday - how many years do you think it'll be before he realizes he's pretty much getting the same card every year?

Embossed Wedding Card

Good Morning!

I have another entry for Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge for your today.

For this week, the twist is to add something with wings.  Perfect embellishment for a simple wedding card.  I added a glittered butterfly with a gem body.

Be sure to visit Suzy Bee's and enjoy all the beautiful cards "with wings."
