Who out there is a gnome freak?  My hand is high up in the air....I LOVE gnomes, especially the cute ones.  Not fussy on the ones with the pointed ears that look mean lol.

This week I chose Easter Gnome...love that big carrot he is holding.  I have paired this image with a simple but bolder Happy Easter sentiment.

I kept the card design pretty simple...and...oh gosh NO RIBBON, that's a wozzers for me.

Monday Makes - Let's Do Easter Week 4

 Happy Monday HH Fans!

Welcome to Monday Makes Let's Do Easter Week 4, we are so happy you could join us!

This week I have chosen Bunny Masterpiece because it reminds me of when my children were young & we had a ball colouring Easter eggs.  Oh and this little mishap below....

One year my daughter decided she was going to do her eggs all on her own.  I happened to be out that day & she was with Daddy.  So Daddy thinks she's having fun in her toy room playing.  He doesn't think...hmmm seems pretty quite in the house...nope!  I come home to find my daughter covered in paint, thankfully water based, from head to toe.  I can't even tell you how bad the toy room looked.  My girl was so proud of her creations and I have to say they looked a lot better than her or the room.  The problem wasn't the mess I had to clean up, it was that she used fresh eggs.  Easter was a month away, I didn't think they would keep that long.  Well we gave it a go & they made it for Easter...but as soon as Easter was over they were gone to the compost bin.  I wish I had the pictures of the mess & the eggs it would have been great to share with this little story.  Needless to say we went with hard boiled after that & made them a few days before Easter lol.

Happy Easter

  Easter is just around the corner but I had to sneak in an extra card when I saw the "Carrot Patch" stamp in the "Spring Fever" re-release at High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 

While I was colouring the stamp, I had lots of memories come flooding back of Easter preparations as a child. My brothers and I got to dye eggs and often had contests - like most colourful, most funky, most silly etc. We always had a lot of fun and our fingers were just as colourful as the eggs when we were done. After that, we had to find our favourite hat and leave it on the table so the "Easter Bunny" knew where to put our treats and then he would hide them for us to find the next morning. So many fun memories......all coming back from colouring a stamp.. <smile>

After stamping this cutie on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured him with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. I wasn't planning on fussy cutting this one but it went better with my design to fussy cut it so I did. I combined patterned paper from Recollections and Craft Consortium to create the design and added them to the 5"x 5" card base.

Next I used a die to cut a grass strip, tulips and a fence to help add a spring feel to the card. All of the paper edges are inked with antique linen distress ink to help them stand out. I stamped and cut the sentiment and added some enamel dots to finish off the card.

Dragon Hop!!!

Hello Everyone

It's April already!

Today I'm back with a fun Easter card, using stamps

 from High Hopes Stamps.

The base of the card was created with a Basket Weave embossing folder and green cardstock. This cute image is "Dragon Hop" and the sentiment is "Happy Easter" I add glossy accent on his adorable bunny ears and Easter eggs. To finish my card, I pop the banner with 3D foam tapeand add a few adhesive enamel dots.

Here is a close up!

Happy Easter...

It is hard to believe that Easter is just around the corner and will be here before we know it! For us, Easter weekend is the last weekend of this month (March) - Yikes!!! 
This has made me put my Easter card making in to overdrive! Thankfully, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has an amazing assortment of Easter stamps available!

This card is made using Sm. Easter Bunny, "Sm." because this cutie is also available in a larger size - either way, perfect for Easter don't you think?

 I actually coloured this stamp at a crop at One Crazy Stamper. I had taken a very large selection of patterned paper with me, but when I was trying to choose a paper none of them were really working for me. So what is a gal to do? Why, go see what is available and buy new paper or course! Love the colours in this 6x6 pad from Echo Park!( the plaid is from this pad)

Finally after choosing my paper, I set about colouring this cutie with alcohol makers and fussy cutting it leaving a thin white edge to help it stand out. I cut a stitched tag out of some matching patterned paper and added a fun scallop border and a bow. After stamping my sentiment I added it to my card with matching patterned paper, more scallops and added some fish tail banner tags just for fun - although this is a great way to use up the small pieces of paper left from trimming. Matching enamel dots finish off my card.
