Happy Easter

Just a quick post to say Happy Easter to everyone.  Here's a card I made using the Wild Card and Easter 2010 Cricut cartridges.

Supplies used:

• Nana's Kitchen Stack by DCWV
• Scrap cardstock I had around
• Goldrush ink by Close To My Heart
• Garden Green ink by Close To My Heart
• Pastel Pink ink by Colorbok
• Eastertime stamp set by Close To My Heart

    

That's it for now.  Have a great Easter weekend!  Hope your weather is as wonderful as ours has turned out to be.

Easter Card

Here is an Easter card I made for my grandparents.  It qualifies for the following challenges:

Cricut Cardz Challenge #18 ~ make an Easter card, any cartridge or color
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog #2 ~ make an Easter themed project with a pastel color palette
Paper Cutz Challenge #34 ~ make an Easter project, but no bunnies or chicks

This is an A2 sized card.  The papers used were: DCWV's Nana's Kitchen Stack (the pink plaid and the green dotted) and The Paper Studio's 180 Paper Pack II (yellow).  The edges are inked with pastel pink Color Box fluid chalk.  The flowers are from Close To My Heart and have been stickled with frosted lace in the centers and on the edges.  I'm not sure where the ribbon is from.  The cross was cut from the Easter 2010 Cricut cartridge at 4".  It was also inked and pop-dotted onto the card.

For the inside "Happy Easter" was cut using the fit to length feature at 4".

I have another Easter card I'm working on.  My son sidetracked me last night, because he wanted to make the largest Mater (from Cars) that we could make.  Yes, he's 16, so when he wants to spend time crafting with his mom, how can I turn him down.  Have a great Sunday!

Busted....

Okay, I got busted "surfing the net" at work the other day.  Now, I do work for my parents, so the reaction was a bit different than on most jobs.  My mom said, "Oooo, I really like those, can you make me some?" LOL

Here is my take on America's great baskets.  She has GREAT directions over on the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog.  My baskets aren't exactly like hers.  I didn't have an embossing folder I liked, so left out the embossed strip.  I also couldn't find any embellishments like her great butterflies, so I didn't add those either.  My mom wants to fill them and give them to my grandparents for Easter and then again for May Day to cheer them up.  She may also want more to give to all the "little girls" at our Easter get-together.

Hope you have a great crafting day!
