Happy Easter!

Hi all, and a very Happy Easter to you! It was so nice to be able to spend it with some of the family and enjoy a beautiful dinner, especially when you think of the restrictions of the last few years and awful events around the world. It was a dark damp old day here, hopefully the weather smartens up a bit as I treated myself to the week off work. I've a few jobs planned but we'll see how that goes 😉

So here's the Easter cards I sent, not very dissimilar to the one I made for Mum a few weeks ago. This time I stencilled in the grass and clouds, I need to learn to be braver with my stencilling and go a bit heavier on the colour! I think I made 7 or 8 of these so that was a lot of fussy cutting!!!

And a wee close-up of that cute bunny...

And of course there was plenty of clear gloss and glitter added!

Sweet Stampers #67 - Easter / Spring

C ut It Up #249 - Easter +/or create your own background

As You Like It - floral or cute - I love my floral stamps but looking through my stamp collection I can 100% say I'm definitely in the 'cute' camp!

Guest designing for Stamping Sensations

I'm delighted to be Guest Designer over at Stamping Sensations and the theme for March is "Spring". Hope you'll play along - there's a fab prize pack up for grabs too!

It's also the final Ruby's Memory Challenge over at Snippets Playground, so I hope you can play along there too! When Di started this challenge back in February last year it was just over a month from when our beloved Ruby died when we were still so so sad, and it felt like a huge hug from Di and the entire crafting community. There has been an amazing amount of prizes gifted and Di has donated a fabulous amount of ££ to the USPCA. So a massive THANK YOU to everyone. We now have Molly to entertain us and keep us busy, but there will never ever be another wee dog like Ruby xx. (the snippet on my card is the tab in the corner. It looked like it needed a wee something and a leftover scrap of purple was just it!)

I've used this sweet Easter set from Lil' Inker which I LOVE - the font of that sentiment just makes me happy. That little bunny looks so pleased with himself to have a basket full of choccy eggs AND a big sparkly carrot! This card's for my Mum, but I'm making a few other variations of it for friends and family... so that's a lot of colouring and a LOT of fussy cutting!
