Good morning! I'm popping in here to announce the winner from my March Paper Smooches DT Hop!
According to random.org, the winner is Bev!
Congratulations Bev! Kim has generously offered up a shiny new A Wicked Nauticool set! I will be in contact via email soon!
Have a great Easter weekend! ~Laurie
Good morning! Wooohooo for Friday!! :-) Do you all have big plans for Easter? I'm still not 100% well, so our family is going to have a very low key celebration, which I have decided is perfect for really pondering the meaning of this remarkable Holiday!
I have some cards stored up on my computer and I thought that I had better get to sharing them! :-)
This card was admittedly a very quick one to put together! I used some new Fancy Pants goodies along with Melanie's new A Year of Flowers 2 (from Gina K)!
For the pull out tag, I added some coordinating patterned paper along the bottom and then stamped a sentiment from Becky's Poster Board Sentiments (also from Gina K) on the top half.
That's it...super easy, but it sure helps to see my birthday card stash slowly filling up again! :-)
I hope you have a wonderful Easter filled with lots of joy! Hugs, Laurie

Good morning! It's "Cards on Thursday" over at the Bella Blog, and I have a couple of cards that are being shared!
The theme this week is Easter/Spring cards. Bella products are perfect for the bright, springy colors that I was going for! :-)
Supplies
Spring Flings and Easter Things: Borders, Miniatures, Journaling
Stickers, Alpha + Bits, Ciao Chip Icons; Button Market: Fruit Punch;
Crochet Hearts: Gulf Hearts
When I first saw this cute bunny (from the Spring Flings and Easter Things Ciao Chip Icons), I couldn't help but think of Easter baskets and eggs! So, that is what I created...a perfect backdrop for this too sweet bunny! I used my Silhouette to cut out an Easter basket shaped card (complete with vellum behind the basket). I embellished the card with a tag, Crochet Heart, and a Pink Flower button.
Supplies
Spring Flings and Easter Things: Cute Cuts, Miniatures, Ciao Chip
Icons; Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Peep, Freestyle Gulf,
Freestyle Pickle Juice; Sophisticates: Ciao Chip Trees; Crochet
