I'm Back in the Craft Room!!!
I sooo love each and every card in Peggy's gallery but since I only had time for one, I chose to case her gorgeous Purple Easter Bunny and Tulips card. I kept the same wonderful layout and some of the same colors but changed the stamps to the cross, flower, and sentiment from Clear Dollar Stamps Jesus Paid it All set. The crosses were stamped with Vesafine Onyx Black and embossed with clear ep. The flowers were colored with copics and the background of the circles were sponged with Almost Amethyst. The pearls and punched butterfly finish it off.

CAS Design and a Sale!!
I thought I would share this CAS card I made Monday (before the Grands came) for the CAS challenge on Splitcoast. The leaf from Rubbernecker's Fall Trilogy set was stamped with Wild Wasabi with a hint of Always Artichoke on the edges. The paper squares are from Basic Grey's Origins and a button and twine finish it off. I will wait to add the sentiment...I think this will work ok for many different occasions. It's pretty simple but took me forever...CAS doesn't come easy for me!!!

Wednesday Catch Up!!
I made this card yesterday for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast to use Certainly Celery, Melon Mambo, and Bashful Blue. The dessert part of the challenge was to make a card for a friend of Cindy Motherway's named Lindsay who is going through a real rough time right now.
This is also for last weeks DDC challenge hosted by Charlene (LilLuvsStampin) to make a card or project around a quote you find on the Quote Garden site. I chose my inspiration from this wonderful quote by Christopher Reeves "Once you choose hope, anything's possible". Also, (2) you must incorporate some representation of time in your design.
My sentiment spoke to tomorrow and I also stamped images of a clock on my "quilt" panels which was for da Mudder's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. We were going to a quilt show and needed to show that snooty Aquilta the Hun that the teapartiers can do anything she can do only better!!! My sewing machine bit the dust so I had to add my stiching with the ribbon and I also added a little piercing, flowers, a button, silver pearls, and silver cording. The frame image was from Nina Brackett's Lovely Labels and the sentiment was from Gina K's Inside Out set. The frame was stamped with Melon Mambo and the flowers were colored with Copics.

Sad News and Happy Cards
I made this card for Wednesday's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast. I was sooo anxious for Spring that I pulled out some soft, springy colors, flowers, and the sweet image from the Woodware Clear Magic Stamp set called Garden Tots. The image was colored with copics and popped up with dimensionals. The white scallops were made with a Stampin Up! scalloped punch and I used Martha Stewart punches for the leaves and picket fence. Papertrey Ink ribbon, flowers, and a Candy Dot from Taylored Expressions finish it off.
