Isn’t that Pinterest mood board so happy?  It just makes me smile every time I look at it! I’ve been itching to use my new MFT Some Bunny stamps since they arrived on my desk a couple of weeks ago and I thought this would be the perfect occasion.  I wanted to create a little “egg-hunt” scene and just love that particular bunny from the set – she really looks like she’s up to no good, lol!!  I used various colours of Bazzill card stock and gathered together some dies to make my scene.  To create the awning across the top I cut a strip of white card stock and a strip of pink then die cut them with a scallop border die.  I then simply chopped the pink strip up and added bands onto the white strip – I love it!  I scored it along the top and folded it a little to make it pop up.  To add a little detail to the easter eggs I used a chicken wire stencil to add an embossed design – like the foil on a real egg.

II can’t believe the summer is almost at an end – it always makes me a little sad but the start of a new term is always exciting so lets see how you mark the occasion!!

I love the MFT background stamps – they’re so detailed yet stamp perfectly.  I used the Typewriter Text backfround stamp from MFT and some other stamps from Clearly Besotted.  I also had my first play with Distress Markers – and then ordered a whole heap more!!!

back to schoolDon’t forget Simon Says Stamp have a $50 gift voucher for one one lucky, randomly drawn participant!  Yay!!

A Valentine for Hubby!

This year is the first year since we met in 1991 that my husband and I have not been together for Valentines Day!!  We don’t always do anything particularly extravagant or indulgent (although sometimes we do!!) but we are ALWAYS together!  So where is he I hear you ask?  Well, he’s in Andorra skiing!!  I know – alright for some eh?  Anyhoo, in his absence I have made him a wee card for his return this afternoon.  We are MASSIVE Apple junkies in this house and there are quite a few iPhone-style dies and stamp sets appearing at the moment. I fell in love with the MFT Cute Cameras 2 die set so have used the little iPhone die to create this simple card.  Chris HAS to have everything in black (cars, iPads, iPhones etc) whereas mine are all white!!  The sentiment is from Post It: Love from Clearly Besotted – fits well doesn’t it?!

i heart u

Right, while the cats been away – the mouse has been playing with all her new stamps and dies so operation “tidy up before Chris gets home and realises I’ve done virtually no housework for a week” has to start!!

Thanks for dropping by xxx
