Here's the darling paper collection that I got to play with from Echo Park Paper called Splendid Sunshine!  Thanks, EP...I'm in love with this happy collection!



I die cut the Bunny & Eggs, Basket & Eggs, Bella Doily, and Heart Mini Album Finisher Dies with several patterns from Echo Park's Splendid Sunshine Collection, layered it all up and adhered to the front of an old mason jar, wrapped and tied off with The Twinery's Baker's Twine and stuffed the jar with iridescent Easter grass and candy corn!  

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

Deck the Halls - Merry Monday


Hey there!  I'm back again this week as a Featured Designer at Merry Monday!  
I must admit that being able to show my Christmas themed stamps, dies and papers a little off-season love has been quite fun!

Here's the beautiful Merry Monday #99 challenge!


I was inspired by the new sketch at My Favorite Things, MFTWSC166, and The Card Concept 5 is a close fit for the color scheme.


Love how the touch of gold really makes this card POP!  Gold glitter paper, oh how I love thee!


Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

Reverse Confetti March Release Blog Hop


Welcome to the big day!  It's release day at Reverse Confetti!  That means the Confetti Crew and 'Fetti Friends have TONS of inspiration for you!

You should have arrived here by way from our 'Fetti Friend, Christine Okken.

 I ADORE this new stamp set and coordinating dies, Class Act, that I used on my card today!  In fact, I'm totally in love with all of the new release products this month!  What is your favorite?...or are you like me and love it ALL?!  








 Perfect timing for this set, Class Act, as the school year winds down and my need to create "thank you" cards and goodies for the kiddos' teachers!  
Did you see the rounded rectangle die from Class Act fits PERFECTLY inside the Love Note?!  Squeal!  That makes this girl HAPPY!

Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous Laurie Schmidlin!
