Hey Peeps

Here are my Easter cards for this year. The image is one I found online. Looks like the little ducks are dancing...aren't they soooo cute??!! The rest is pretty self-explanatory. The inside says Happy Easter and I've stamped some little flowers like I did on the envelopes. tfl

Live, Laugh, Love Squared CAS08

Well, Blogger's done it to me again!!! It put the pic of the card sideways, and I can never seem to correct it when it does that!! So...crank your neck to the right, or levitate your body to the right and you will be looking at it right...hehe. If you hurt yourself, you can sue Blogger, not me! Jeesh! Anyway, the ribbon should be on the bottom. Sorry 'bout that!!

Now...here is my entry for SCS Clean and Simple Challenge (CAS08), which was to make a CAS card using the layout of this card as our guide: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1239703. Love this card by StampGroover!!

I used a pre-embossed card and just added the ribbon and the little square chipboard button, putting rhinestone square brads in the button holes.

On the inside is a sentiment in the orange and yellow saying "Live, Laugh, Love". I cuttlebugged just the side of my envelope to carry through with the square theme. Very clean and simple card. Hope you like it. tfl

Farmhouse Serenity IC173

Here is my entry for today's SCS Inspiration Challenge (IC173). This was the painting I used for inspiration from Glenda Mosher's website: http://glendamosher.blogspot.com/2008/03/watsons-mill.html

I colored it with chalks and pencils. tfl

Silhouette Beauty LSC213

Here is my entry for today's SCS Limited Supplies Challenge (LSC213). We were to use only black and white. Since I love black and white and also since I have 16 of these silhouette stamps to try (right now they are my favorite stamps!), I was thrilled and couldn't wait to play!!!

I used a template found at http://fred-she-said.blogspot.com/ for the piercing on the inside. tfl Hope you like.

Birthday Candles SC221

Here is my entry for today's SCS Sketch Challenge (SC221). I used a pre-embossed card and added the layers, with the top layer popped up on pop-dots. The candles are heat-embossed. Believe it or not, the reason I made the card in these colors was mostly because I had bought this pretty bright green ribbon and was itching to use it!!! lol I cuttlebugged the envelope with the Happy Birthday folder. Hope you like it. tfl

Spring Hello CC211

Here is my entry for SCS Color Challenge (CC211), using pretty in pink, kiwi kiss and sage shadow. The image was heat embossed and the little little border along the bottom is a sticker. Hope you like it. tfl
