Do I Smell.....................Jellybeans?

I know we all know the true meaning of Easter, but sometimes it's fun to bring out the bunnies and the candy for the children's sake. We all remember the days in school, when it was exciting to come in class and see that the Easter Bunny had left us some goodies. Then we would finish our class work and have an Easter Egg Hunt. Those were the days!

This Handmade Easter Card reminds me of those days in grammar school, when it was exciting to pretend and the teacher would make it so believable too!

I would like for this card to take us all back to a place and time of just fun!

Hopefully I'll find some challenges for this adorable Easter card, but if not, that's okay because I enjoyed making it. It took me back to a place and time in my life when there were no worries. Just fun!

Thank you for stopping by! Hugs Brenda

Seeing Double

Well it's another Friday and the weekend is here again. I hope everyone had a great week? My internet has been down for a couple of days and I have missed a couple of days of contact. But I'm back now!

I have uploaded a couple of cards that are identical except for the color. This is a challenge that I came across over at City Crafter Challenge Blog http://www.citycrafter.blogspot.com/ and thought it would be fun to do.The flowers that I put on these cards are made out of a circle punch for the base, a pear punch for the petals, and a real small flower punch to make the stamen for the center of the flowers.

I really had fun doing this handmade card. I think I want to do some more of these flowers. They turned out really nice.

The background for this card was made with a leaf cuttlebug folder, sponged with  dye base ink. White paper put in the folder then ran through the cuttlebug.

I hope I gave you some inspiration with this handmade card. Try it! It's a lot of fun!

Thank you for stopping by one more time! I do enjoy checking to see how many people stop by. It does my heart good! Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs Brenda

Many Thanks

It's Thursday, and another weekend is upon us. Can you believe it? The days are just flying by.

I have a lot going on this weekend. My mom is coming for the day tomorrow, I'm going to visit with a friend Friday night and we are going to the Christmas Made in the South convention in Savannah Georgia Saturday morning, and Sunday morning my husband and I are going to my youngest daughter's house  in Ashville North Carolina for Thanksgiving. Wow! That's a lot of going. Pray that we have safe travels.

Now, on to this card. I changed up a little bit. I didn't do a Christmas card this time. I needed a break, just for a couple of hours.
I made this handmade card mainly for a couple of challenges. Lexi's Creations and Colour Create are for starters, but I will be adding it into several challenges for sure.

Thank you for stopping by and thanks for all of the comments. As always keep those creative juices flowing and your hand busy.
