WoW! I Miss You

I got my new issue of Cardmaking and Papercrafts magazine,
even though it's the April edition, (it comes from Great Britain)
and had a lot of Easter ideas I love the new stamps that were included!
Like this cute little baker stirring up sentiments on the card front

The sentiment stamps, front and inside are My Sentiments Exactly

The Paper collection is Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl (the 6x6 pad)

I used a Copics for coloring and stickles for a little bling inside and out

Home Sweet Home

Think Fast Designs was the inspiration for this weeks Etsy Inspired Challenge Blog - Challenge #134.  I choose this darling apron because the print made me instantly think of Cosmo Crickets line Early Bird, perfect for the challenge.  I also used a chip board piece from Crafty Secrets, she had the right coffee pot what can I say?

Here's my card for the challenge:

I used Making Memories twine around the front mat

Don't ya just love that coffee pot?  She's saying 'Always with a smile'

You Go Girl!

Cut from the Forever Young Cart (Cricut).

Stamps are rubber from My Sentiments Exactly Grab Bag.

Edges inked with Distress Inks.

Hola!

This card was made for the Around the World Challenge #3-Mexico at Clips-n-Cuts  Loved the bright primary colors.  If you haven't played along it's a must!  At the end of the challenge you'll have the opportunity to vote for your favorite interpretation/inspiration of the picture.

I used alpha Glitter Stickers from K & Company for the Hola and a stamp from Hero Arts - All Occasion set for the 'just saying hello'

Sombrero was cut from the Paper Doll Dress up Cart and my Cricut Expression.

Blue cardstock backgrounds embossed with my Cuttlebug and the Swirls and Dots and Texture folders.

This was my very first attempt at printing something out and actually making it into a book. I've learned a lot since then and am so glad I tried this very first one. There are so many I want to do for the coming year. I really like the accordion books. Recently my daughter sent me a DVD of photos and it was in a cardboard mailer. Did I toss it, NO! of course not, I looked at it and thought, wow I could cover the outside and attach an accordion book to the inside and what nice gift I'd have. See I now have altered thinking, well it's always been altered but now it's digital-hybird altered. lol
