Easter Bunny Treat Baskets for CoWorkers - March 26, 2012

I found an awesome video on how to make these cute bunny baskets on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.  I did not have all of the Stampin Up Supplies to make the baskets, so as any crafter would do, I improvised using my Cricut.  I thought that I would remake the video showing you how to make the baskets if you did not have the supplies.  I am also entering this in the Anything Goes Challenge #6 - Get Ready for Easter and Bloggers Challenge - Happy Easter.

Celebrating a New Life - March 19, 2012

I have been absent from posting for a couple of weeks.  I had internet connection problems and a few other items going on in life that slowed down the process.  However, I hope to be posting a new video soon which will show you the large project I was working which caused the delay.  I almost have it complete!

Next month, I will be having a baby shower for my friend, Rachel.  She is getting ready to have a baby girl.  I had really wanted to use this cute digital image to make a card.  When I saw Sketches by Carly #52, it all clicked for an adorable card.  I am so excited for her, and cannot wait to celebrate the new arrival!

Give Thanks for Thursday --- March 1, 2012

Wow, we are already into the third month of the year.  Time is just flying by!  Let's not let it fly by so fast that we do not have time to give thanks to others for all the great things they do!  This is a little Thank You card using a watercolor technique with Stampin Up markers, blender pen and water color paper.    With this technique, you place the color in bottom of the petal, and use your blender pen to blend the color to the edges.  Start with the lightest color and build darker colors on top.  It was a fun technique and a new way to use my markers. The image is also by SU, however, I do not know the name because I used a friend's stamp set to stamp it and she introduced me to this technique.  Thanks so much!!!
