Happy Easter for Giada

Hello everyone,

FIRST - Melissa do not continue reading, it's for Giada!!! ;)))

I managed to make one card this afternoon. After applying heat on my lower back for a bit, long story short I was cooking and I felt a little pinch when I turned towards the sink..serves me right to cook for my family...LOL..kidding of course!!

I'm better now so I decided to play along with The Fairies Challenge for Easter. I will not be making any more Easter cards, in our family we don't give out Easter cards really. But I did want to make one for Giada, my cousin's sweet little one year old daughter. She is our PRINCESS!! I have 2 boys and my brother has 1 boy so this little girl is our angel..we spoil her a lot..LOL!!

Here is my card:

Here is a closer look at the image colored in copics and at the paper piecing:

And here is the sentiment given as a freebie by Sans Designs, Thank you Sans!

For this card I used an image from Bugaboo Stamps, a freebie Friday image I might add!! I paper pieced the eggs and the bunny's bow. I also used dies, ribbon, buttons, and a bit of stickles here and there. Oh and how could I forget the Sketch I followed...it's from Sunday Stamps:



I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Sunday Stamps, SSC40 sketch
Fairies Challenges, Easter
Glitter n Sparkle, # 24 Easter/spring colors
Sentimental Sundays, #146 anything goes
Crafty Emblies, #9 anything goes

Thanks for stopping by, AGAIN..LOL!!

Merry Monday #54, Snowman

Hello,

It feels like Christmas again in Quebec, Canada so I see it very fitting to be posting a snowman card!!

We are getting approx. 30 cms of snow. It began over night and will continue until tomorrow. What does this mean? Spring is not here yet ;((  The kids have a snow day and mom and dad are working from home...well at least mom is trying too..LOL!!

Here is my card for the Merry Monday #54 challenge this week:

And here is a closer look at my copic coloring:

At Always Playing with Paper, Merry Monday this week the challenge is use a snowman.


I immediately knew I wanted to use one of my  images from QRK Stampede, this one is digi15914.  I love the fact that it says Noel on his scarf, he's so cute and cuddly!!

I also used a sketch from Crafting When We Can:


For the text I found a sticker from one of my CM packs, a Christmas edition. I also used my Martha Stewart snowflake punch and some snowflakes brads from Eyelit Outlet and a candy cane metal sticker, don't remember the cie it comes from.. I added some bling and ribbon, and I used my Scallop square die for the image.


I will be entering the following challenges:
Always Playing with Paper, Merry Monday, #54 snowmen
Crafting When We Can, #40 sketch
Christmas Card Challenges, #16 photo inspiration (the candy cane did it for me)
Through the Craft Room Door, TTCRD anything goes
Sentimental Sundays, #146 anything goes

Thanks for stopping by,

Bugaboo Bingo - Mother's Day

I can't believe I had the time to make 4 cards today and enter all of them!! YAY for me!

It's 11pm here but I am wide awake and ready to post another card!!! Wish it was always this way!!

So here is my last card of the day:

I followed the Bingo challenge over at Bugaboo again, so much fun!! This time I used the pearl/circle/die cut combo line!! I also used a Bugaboo image called Dandelions Bflies, it's a perfect image for a mother's day care, I think!!



I also followed a color challenge over at Dynamic Duos, I haven't done that in a while, it was lots of fun to use only 2 colors!



For this card I used pearls, a circle die cut and a scalloped circle die cut. I think it works perfectly for the Bugaboo bingo challenge!

I will be entering the following challenges:
Catch the Bug Challenges, Bingo challenge (pearl/circle/die cuts)
Dynamic Duos, #44 Black and soft yellow

Well that's it for me!! I hope I get a chance to blog my projects again soon. This week we are expecting another snow storm...I really hope it's the last one!! Keep your fingers crossed that we don't lose power again. The last snow storm we were out for 18 hours..Brr it was cold in the house!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Remember to...

love & create ...with a smile :)
