...and this year, I am a basket case. Literally. I wanted to create a basket with a nice shape - tired of the square ones, with hard edges... So here it is - my very own Easter Basket. I have made about 8 so far, all different... here's some:
I used the new Rich Razzleberry ribbon and Cottage Wall paper, together with the Big Shot and Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder on Old Olive paper to create this one..
A total mix of stamp sets, papers, punches and accessories to create this one...
The new Autumn Traditions DSP, Soft Suede and Two-Step Bird Punch for this one, together with Pocket Silhouette Stamp set, Circle Brads and Pretties Kit on this cutie...
Rich Razzleberry and a very cool new feature: a scene of the Cottage Garden Stampset clear mount, on a H block... together with the new DSP and old flower brads and rhinestones...
There are a few more, but those I will post when I get the eggs and fill paper so you can see how absolutely cute they look. I love them. Truly !!
I am embarrassed to say a very nice lady placed an order for 4 birthday cards months ago and I completely forgot about it!!! It was a week before Christmas and it completely slipped my mind...
So yesterday I remembered and felt so bad, I contacted her and told her they would be ready today. She wanted specific ones that she had seen at the time, so I decided to make 6 instead - to make up for my bad memory - and a box to store them. Result - went to bed at 4:30 AM!!
These pictures were taken before I went stumbling up the stairs, so they are not the best I have ever taken - but mission accomplished !!
I did not take pictures of the insides, but each has a different Happy Birthday stamped sentiment, from the On Your Birthday set.
The box had to be quite large - I had to use 2 12x12 sheets to get what I wanted, but it matched the set perfectly...
I hope she likes it - and yeah, I need to actually USE my diary, I know, I know!!!!
working on it tonight... hmm..
here's my first rendition - maybe I will try a couple more tomorrow, if time is on my side :o)
This theme has a bit of a history behind it: I have a friend who turned 40 last year and made a speech during his party that he was a happy bachelor and would never be "caught" in a hook by a girl... he felt there were too many fish in the sea to be with just "one catch". Exactly 10 months later he tells me he is madly in love, proposed and will be getting married in May in Tahiti. I had been thinking about sending him a card with a pertinent message, and saw this sketch as the perfect opportunity... To my Friend - Best Wishes and a Long Married Life as a The Catch!

I haven't participated in any challenges in a while - so this is my first rendition for this one: I have been in love with the cards that stand by themselves, and love the lines in whisper white that look like panelling...
It's hard to get tired of the Butterfly Print stamp set also - and the Framed with Love frame worked nicely with the You & Moi message.
with the same chocolate coin... I think this one would be suitable for a teenager?
what they think…
