BITTY BUNNIES

Can you believe Easter is almost here?  I usually feel as though time is going too fast but the past two and a half months have gone by so fast I can't even remember it.  Have I finally reached the age where everything is just a blurr?  I thought things would slow down once my daughter was in college but it seems just the opposite has happened.  Has this happened to you?

Anyway... All the snow has made me want to hibernate in my craft room.  Also, even though I only have one required design team project per month at THE DIGI CHICK, the designer's kits have been so awesome lately that I have continually been inspired to create.  This kit in particular just had so many fun and pretty elements that I just had to make an Easter themed card.  


I used a circular die (I can't remember where it is from, I put all my dies up on a magnet or hook and threw away the wrapping), cut two and made a little tab at the top to put them together.  The back side I left "as is" and the front was cut out in a half circle.   The bunny, bunny trim, flowers and background paper are all from the kit.  The grass is an MS punch.  Let me know if you want to know where the dies are from and I will look them up for you.

FREE DIGITAL KIT

If you still haven't tried digital (and I am sure if you haven't it hasn't been from my lack of nagging) now is a great time.  There is a new, free kit up at THE HYBRID CHICK  for you to download. This is a card I made from the kit.


One really important thing to remember is to use a good quality paper when printing your digital papers and elements.  I love Red River Paper's Linen inkjet paper. I am not affiliated I just think it prints beautifully and it has a soft texture that is perfect for card making.  I have tried several different types of paper and this has been my favorite.

Have a great week!

A BIT OF THIS AND A BIT OF THAT

I rarely have time to sit down and complete a project in a single session. I usually have 5-10 mins of spare time in between jobs and kids activities and well a thousand other necessary things.   I not only don't have time to complete one thing, I also have a tendency to start something else before I finish what I am currently working on. Just too many ideas rolling around in the old noggin.   I therefore flit from project to project working a little bit at a time on each.   This is a long way of saying that I have nothing accomplished to show I just have a bunch of pictures of things I am working on.

                                                          Some design team projects.


                                              A (lap size) frog quilt for my boss who is retiring.

                                                            Refinishing an old dresser.

                         Trying to organize my craft space so I can actually find things when I need them.

So many projects, so little time............
