A Little Bird Told Me

Wow - is the week really over? I can't believe Easter is already almost here! So much to do this weekend still. The Easter bunny always comes a day early in our house (try explaining that to a 5 year old) because Easter Sunday is always crazy between church, my husband's family, and then mine. So when my son was super little, we started celebrating the basket/egg hunt part of Easter a day early.

I did use this little guy to make a card for Easter (probably for my son). It says Happy Easter on the inside, but you can't see that.

This card is for 2 challenges - Mojo Monday (the sketch) and Cupcake Craft challenges, which is to make a spring/Easter card with chocolate on it. Sunshine's Stamps is sponsoring the Cupcake challenge this week, so there's a little time left if you want to play along and maybe win some goodies:)

Thanks for looking and happy Easter!

Luck 'O the Irish

Good Sunday afternoon! So I'm FINALLY getting back to this post:) I started it hours ago, but then we left to go to BJ's (and about broke the bank with the diapers, pullups and wipes!), but I was excited to find a larger pack of the Bic Mark Its on sale no less! DH was generous today (he's usually though) and let me get them.

So I've been in getting into my yearly all things Irish mode (my maiden name is Murnane after all). I wanted to share this new image from Sunshine's Stamps. His name is Sean O'Hare and you can find him in the Sunshine Stamps Store. Isn't he so...adorably Irish?

Isn't this a great sketch too? Our team member Tracey designed it.

Supplies are SU cardstock in Close to Cocoa, Garden Green, Old Olive and Certainly Celery. I don't know who the DP is by, and the other brown cs is DCWV. I used Nesties for the labels, Creative Memories Cutting System for the circles. Ribbon is Offrey I think, other supplies are gold Stickles and the dots are by Martha Stewart.

Thanks for looking and happy stamping!

Another Valentine's Card - Non Traditional

Hello! I've been making quite a few Valentine's cards lately, so I decided to break the mold a little and use non-traditional colors this time. I know this image doesn't scream "love", but he is so versatile, and great for many occasions! This is the 57 Buick from Sunshine's Stamps.

I made this card for Show and Tell Cards and Scrap Pages Day 22 Challenge . It''s a 1-2-3 challenge - 1 bow, 2 designer papers, 3 brads (buttons, etc). Valentine's theme and lots of glitter.

Hop on over and play if you have time:)



Other supplies are DCWV DP, cuttlebug embossing folder, oval and circle punches, Stickles, SU watercolor pencils and blender pen, and misc ribbon and brads from my stash. The sentiment is mine, I printed it out from my computer.

Thanks for looking and happy stamping!

S.W.A.K.

Mwah! I've been doing a lot of Valentine's cards lately! Here is another one for the Creative Card Crew challenge this week. The image is Sunshine's stamps - and they are also sponsoring the challenge, so hop on over so you can make a card and enter for a chance to win 3 images!

The theme for the challenge is punches. I used a scalloped punch for the tab (cut in half), and for the image background, and a plain circle punch for the image. Instructions for the criss-cross card are here.

Image is Sealed With a Kiss from Sunshine's Stamps. I also used a SU image for the tab. Other supplies are SU cardstock in basic black and ruby red. Stickles, SU watercolor pencils and blender pen. Misc ribbon and I can't remember where the DP is from, but I think it's DCWV. Brads are also SU.

Thanks for looking and happy stamping!
