Build-a-Bear Easter...

I am really loving these Big Shot Build-a-Bears with all their accessories!!! We did these Build-a-Bear Easter cards for Therapy Card Nite last month. They all got to color their eggs how they wanted and the girls came up with some neat designs considering how small these eggs are! Now that Easter is over it's time to come up with another use for this set....Be sure to come back and see what I come up with!!!

Hiding Eggs...

I finally tried my hand at a stair step card! We did this card for Therapy Card Nite and the girls got a kick out of it! Even though it is a bit time consuming it is still fairly easy to do. What is Easter with out Easter eggs? This is almost as much fun as dying Easter eggs!

Easter Chick

What's cuter than Easter bunnies than little Easter chicks! I did CASE this template,but I changed the colors. I just don't remember who from (so whoever you are this is sooo cute)! I really love this set "A Good Egg", as it is very versitile in many ways for Easter. The chick popping out of the egg is just too cute!

Easter Monkey

Who doesn't love Easter? With it comes springtime, birds singing, flowers popping up, and most of all warmer weather! Here is my Easter Sock Monkey that we did at Therapy Card Nite. Although this picture doesn't show it all, this card is layered on purple all the way around. This is a simple kids card, but don't rule out those "adults" that love Mr. Sock Monkey like me!

ENJOY...

I love going through our catalogs looking at all the wonderful samples that they give us. Hince the name IDEA BOOK & catalog, as I always remind my workshop guests. So this one is from an older catty and all I did was take the "sack topper" change the colors around and make it into a card. And since my grandmother once worked for a button factory and handed down the HUGE tin of buttons to me, I am never at a loss for them. So the girls got to enjoy rumaging through a sack of buttons to find one they liked for their card. So enjoy....

STAMPS: Enjoy Every Moment

Kindness...

Being a SU demo we get SU magazines in which I also take and make cards into my own. I so loved it the card that I incorporated it into my own once again. I used the same colors, but changed up the hearts that were used and a few other things. So, you SU demos, without looking, can you point out the differences? I think the girls liked making a card that could use a more normal sized envelope that they have readily on hand!

More than a thought...

Oh I love going through out catty and looking at the different samples and trying to make my favorites my own. As in this card. I took the main look from the sample cup from the Thoughts & Prayers set. By using the same "look" sort of I made it in to this great card. I incorporated a SALE-A-BRATION set "Whimsical Words" to finish it off along with some ribbon. The girls really liked this card and they love this set. Liked this so much I made up a few of these cards to have on hand!
