Belated Easter Wishes...





I hope everyone had an opportunity to spend some time with family and to reflect on the significance Easter this past weekend! Suitable for the occasion, I whipped up a couple of cards Sunday morning as I was determined to give handcrafted cards this year. One of which uses the cute bunny backside from the "I love Easter" set that I scored in my Pot of Gold prize package. More to come soon...Thanks for stopping by!

Pot of Gold!!



Those girls over at TAC sure know how to make a girl feel special!! I was so excited to see a box in the mail so just imagine how excited I was when I opened the package... my girls thought I'd won the lottery or something. Well in mind I did!! The Pot of Gold prize is awesome! It includes: Uptown Girl pad from the Wing It collection, assorted stamps...even a whole set (not sure of the name though), even Cling to mount them with! A milky gel pen, a note pad, black coaster pack (6), picture pebbles, and Mulberry hardware. All I can say is WOW! I can't wait to get these stamps wet and purdy up my creations!! Thanks to Mischelle for the amazing gifts and to the TAC community for allowing me to join in the fun!!

Good Teacher...


So, I thought had it all figured out... See, my oldest baby is a senior this year and this will my last opportunity to thank the teachers on her behalf, her favorites in particular. Especially since my daughter has been sick the last few months and most of the teachers have gone above and beyond; so I really want to do this! Keeping all of this in mind, I snagged my friend's Cricut magazine because it has pictured, the perfect card for my daughter's teachers this year. I even scored a new cartridge on eBay to "get 'er done". Well, I got my cartridge in the mail and couldn't wait to put this together. Not exactly like the card in the book but close enough. HOWEVER...I 'm not real thrilled with the outcome. Okay, maybe a little bit! But something is definately missing. Help...please! I cannot seem to figure out what's wrong with it. Already I realize that a printed ribbon would help but hey, I am very open to suggestion so feel free to chime in. Thanks in advance for your input! P.S. - I'll be sure to post the new rendition.
