Easter Elf

Well happy Thursday everyone!  Its almost the weekend! YAY!  Weekends usually aren't any different than any other day of the week for me since I'm a SAHM (well I guess I get to see Anthony a little more).  But this Saturday I'll be attending the Memories Scrapbooking Expo in Columbus Ohio.  So if anyone else is attending and would like to meet up you can email me at scrapathomemom@live.com.

Today's card is yet another Easter card made with Sweet November Stamps Spring Elves.  All the paper is from the DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies stack.  Its a pretty busy card but I like the way it turned out. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Bunny and Chicks

Well its another beautiful but chilly day here in Dayton.  Its been a busy morning in the Sayer's household today.  We had to drop off our car to be serviced and get my x-ray (I didn't break anything) and be back in time to get Rhaynn from school at 11:35 for early release (it seems we have a lot of these).  So now we are hanging out in the playroom/craftroom.  Both of the girls are slightly irked that we aren't going to the park on account that I can't really walk. 

My card today is another Easter card.  I think I only need three more!  The cute little bunny image is a digi from Phindy's Place group at PCP.  I colored her with my triart markers and added some stickles to the bottom of her dress.  Then I cut her out with using Nestabilities Label Four.  The sentiment is from the Sweet November Stamp set Spring Elves.  All the paper is from MME Pretty Please.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Wednesday!

Happy Monday!

I had a wonderful weekend.  Saturday my LSS had a "Garage sale".  While I was not prepared at all for the amount of people or that some women are rather mean when it comes to snagging a bargin, I did get some things that I couldn't pass up.  I got all of this for $10!  Sorry for the bad photos its been dreary here all day.  Next time I'll be prepared and go early so I can get in the front of the line.

I've been busy making easter cards so that I can get them mailed to my nephew and neices in Texas. 

The image is a free digi from Sliekje digi Stamps.  He's so cute I couldn't resist him.  She has tons of free digis on her site.  I printed him on PTI cardstock and colored him with my Triart markers. I cut him out with Label One Nestie.   All the paper is from the DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies Stack. I added some pearls and called it finished.  I did follow a sketch I think it was last weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great night!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm so excited that the sun is shining and the high today is going to be near 60!  I have another Easter card for you today.

I used the My Mind's Eye papers that I wrote about yesterday.  The image and sentiment is another Sweet November by Amy Young.  She is stamped on PTI cardstock and colored with my wonderful Triart markers.  The felt flowers. rhinstone brads and ribbon are from my stash.  I added some little flat backed pearls by Queen & Co that I got yesterday at my local LSS.

OCC Sketch Challenge

Well I"m back!  My back is feeling much better and I'm hopping to be able to get an appointment for some tests soon.  I need to find out what's trigering the spasms the only downside is that they will be trying to make my muscles spasm and its not very fun.  Thanks to everyone who sent their well wishes!

 I was able to get into the scraproom last night after the girls went to bed.  It did not go well at first.  I ended up stamping and coloring my image five times before I liked how it turned out.  So I got the February issue of the UK magazine Cardmaking and Papercraft as a gift and it came with this almost 6x6 stack of My Mind's Eye Pretty Please paper.  I love love love this paper!  I'm going to have to find more or it.  I will be making all my Easter cards with it.

Okay so on to my card.  The sentiment And image are from the Spring Elves set from Sweet November by Amy Young. I stamped this cutie on PTI cardstock and then colored him with my Triart markers.  All the paper is from the above My Mind's Eye stack.  The bling is from my stash and I used glossy accents on the egg to make it stand out a bit.

I'm also entering this card in the challenge at the OCC Sketch Blog

Thanks for stopping by everyone!  I hope that you Monday is sunny and fabulous!
