Everybunny 12 x 12 Double Page Layout

Pin It

Here's a look at the double page layout on the make n take I had last weekend.  Does that bottom left corner look familiar? Usually when I do a make n take, I always try and have a few extra's pieces cut out especially when it involves the big shot.  I don't like stopping to cut out extra pieces.  I love the Everybunny Stamp Set in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.   

You can take a closer look at the individual pages below.

Heaven Blessed Easter Card

Pin It

Here's a quick Easter Card that I made last week, again I had some leftover pieces sitting on my desk.  I thought instead of putting them away, I should put them on a card.  I love the images from the Heaven Blessed stamp set in the Occasion Mini Catalog.  They are just so cute and fun to watercolor.  If you have not noticed I have been on this water-coloring kick, I find it so relaxing.

Let me know what you think!

Easter Egg Card

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's Blog Hop.

This is a card I made using leftover pieces from a make-n-take that I had over this past weekend.  I cut those paper doilies out so I really wanted to use them.    I just love using them to cover the ovals so they look like decorated Easter Eggs.  The middle small oval/egg, I used a little leftover rick rack from the tasteful trim die to decorate it.

Let me know if you have any questions.  

Thanks for stopping by!

With the current trend of tea images in the paper crafting world, it only seemed appropriate to offer a tea-related template, and that is our newest “High Tea” 3D, teapot.
