Somebunny Loves You

Many people think I have some crazy ideas, values, and am off the chart when it comes to some convictions but oh, well.  One of my convictions is not to mix the secular with the Spiritual so I don't do Easter eggs or bunnies.  Easter is Resurrection Sunday to me.  Having said that, I just love some of the bunnies and "easter" stamps and digis.  So I use some of them but not for Easter cards.  Is that clear as mud?  This digi is so cute and I am using it for a kids card for OWH.  It could be sent any time of the year. I printed this digi image along with several others quite some time ago and now for the life of me cannot find it in my computer in order to give credit to the artist.

Easter Bonnet

These yellow roses were made the same time I made the pink ones so when I saw this hat digi by Doodle Pantry, I know that I should use them together.

Cheery Spring Hello

Used a new digi by Designed2Delight and my new Cuttlebug folder to make this cheery Spring card.  Cutting out these flowers with a Cuttlebug die cut and adding a button is such a fun way to make your own flowers ( much less time than the roses I made and posted in a previous post.

Spotty, Dotty Cupcake

All kids like sprinkles on their cupcakes.  I used a dig by WinkWink, printing it once on white paper for coloring and a second time on this spotty embossed paper.

Take Time To Smell The Roses

How often I forget to do this.  We get so busy with work, paying bills, taking care of family, etc. that we forget to enjoy life.  Even this Spring, I have been so disgusted with our cold, rainy days, that I forget to notice that things really are in bloom - heather, tulips, hyacinths, daffodils.  It took flowering trees to catch my attention.
This digital sentiment is by Doodle Pantry.  I finally learned how to make paper roses - I love them.  Leaves are stamped (Kitchen Stamps).  "All my love" is Stampin Up.

Happy Birthday Hot Rod

Yes, a second post today  with another kid's card.  And would you believe it another digi by Doodle Pantry?  It just seemed to fit what I had in mind for this card.  I am using the banner sketch idea at CPS and the banner idea over at City Crafters for the basis of this card.   Except for the fact that I have no idea what parts of a motocycle are metalic and what parts are painted, it turned out pretty well.
The birthday sentiments and flames are from PaperCraft magazine.

Happy Bird-day

Continuing on with cards for kids for OWH  http://www.owhhomefrontblog.org/ , I was glad to see several of the challenges on my most visited blogs, were challenges including cards for kids and/or happy birthday themes.

This cute digi is by Doodle Pantry.  I am using my new cuttlebug folder of spots and dots, which I have wanted for quite some time  and finally broke down and purchased.
