Easter place tags

How much food can a person consume in 3 days? And how much can a person sing in 4 days? I think I hit my limit in all of it. Today, I'm kind of down for the count. I taught this morning and now am feeling ill. I don't usually get sick, today, it's my turn. I have visions of my hot turkey sandwich smothered in gravy, ketchup and vinegar, but know I will regret eating it. All the faster to get better. Now on to my Easter place tags..


I had geat visions for these tags. To hang them from the glassware by using an earring. Alas, time got away from me and I was finishing them in the car on the way there! Each tag got less and less exciting. By the time we got there, my tag had a bit of ribbon and a few dots! lol

The rabbits inthe grass punch is from Martha Stewart. Sentiment is from a 2nd hand sale.

Off to snooze..
thanks for looking and reading the drivel.

Happy Easter!

Just a quick post, I'm off to sing again. It's a long one tonight. And my feet are so sore from my boots. :} I've been wearing heeled boots when I sing since I started there 4 years ago. On the few occasions where I wore flats, I feel too short at the podium and end up singing on my tip toes.lol
Anyhow, on to what you're here for...


I made a bunch of these to give to some of the clergy and choiristers. that's why there are different colours.



Once cool technique was to stamp the cross in white on vellum. Then I turned it over and used my crochet hook (or stylus) to outline the image. this image was easy to do, as it was a double lined image. As you can see, it makes it look embossed.



Thanks for looking and hope the Easter bunny finds your house tonight!

Easter trio




These stamps are from Michael's buck 50 bin. I love my new square punch (why did I wait so long?) So I had to use it. On the 2nd card, I used the circle punch. Which do you like better?
The luscious flower is new at my LSS, Scrapbook By Design. (they do online orders).I love it when they come back from CHA. There are so many new products. The huge polka dot brad is also from the LSS.

Thanks for looking,

SCS Challenge


This is my 1st SCS layout challenge. It was a lot easier than I thought, maybe because I changed it a little to fit my idea. I hope it's ok to do that.
The stamps set is Never Ending Joy, again. DP is Bali Breeze.

never ending Joy Easter



























This card was cased from the SU sheets for the Wild Wasabi cardstock offer. It's the one with the flower and spring sentiment on it.
I decided to go for the textured cardstock promo. It is so inexpensive. So what if it's scored in a strange place. They show you ways to use it.

Once again, I coloured on the stamps with the markers, punched with my scallop oval and raised it on dimensionals. All products are SU as I'm demoing this card at an outside workshop this weekend. Hope the ladies like it.

He Has Risen




I received the new Papertrey Ink designer 6x6 papers and coordinating spring moss colour scheme cardstock, ribbons and ink. Love that colour.
I immediately wanted to punch little squares with the DP. Then I had the thought to make the stain glass window. The stamps are from Michael's buck 50 bin.
I like how this card turned out. if I had the smaller tag punch (SU) I would probably outline the window a little better. But I only had 20 minutes to get this idea out of my head and on to paper before rescuing my husband from crazy children. Why is witching hour the one when you're trying to cook supper? lol
