Gotta love pastels...

Hi Everyone! I have been running around like a crazy woman today. Haley had to be at school for God Squad this morning at 9 so I used this opportunity to do some errands. I needed a new coffee pot. It is so funny...I didn't used to be a coffee drinker until about 2 years ago and now I love to have a cup...or 3 every morning. Just helps get my motor runnin'. Do you like to drink coffee? If not what do you do to get movin in the morning? After errands I came back to the house to clean and when Haley got home we had about 2 hours before she had to back up to the school for dress rehearsal for her choir variety show. There are 2 performances today and then they clean up after the last one so she has a very long day ahead of her. I will see what kind of pictures I can get and share them with you later.

Can you believe Easter is next weekend already? I had a few orders for Easter cards and I think these are two of my favorite cards.



I have had this little Imaginisce Chick stamp for a year and this is the first time I have had to ink it up. Isn't it so cute? Here is the best part...it was only $1! I had a chance to check out the new little scrapbook store on the West side of town. Frozen in Time is such a cute little shop. It is a little small but she has some fun stuff. I picked up the paper for both of the cards there. The patterned paper is from We R Memory Keepers and it is the Hippity Hoppity line. The cool thing about this paper is that it is double sided AND the paper used in this card was all from the same paper...yep both the flowered part and the green polka dot. What cha talkin' about right? Well this is the kind of paper that has one full side of the same print and the other side has 4 different prints on the other side...perfect for card making! I used the Fiskars Threading Water punch to do that cute little scallop on the green paper. The chick was colored with sunburst yellow prisma marker. OH YEAH...Hobby Lobby has their markers on sale today for 30% off...I picked up a few more colors. Those darn things are so expensive that seems to be the only way that I can do it! The ribbon on this card...if you can see it is Bazzill. I picked it up at Frozen in Time too!

Now this little guy is simple but I love the way it turned out. Again it is the same paper and on this one I used Prima Flowers and the blue ribbon is also from Bazzill. Do you like them? I sure do!



Sorry about the photography on these cards. I was just trying to take a quick picture of them before going to bed and it was so late! I have some other Easter cards to share with you this week too. I got a few new stamp sets. One set was from Ellen Hutson's store...that gal has some great turnaround time on ordering. I got the stamp set in 4 days after my order! Check her out!

Well thanks for peekin' in! Have a great weekend!

As always, you make great cards. I stopped at the new store today for the first time. It is small but interesting. I bought some Easter paper and clear Dew Drops. The prices are competitive.
