Sweetness of Spring and Easter

Even though today we received some snow and had rain/sleet it is technically Spring in Wisconsin.  Yet we are to have wonderful weather next week - that's just the way it is.  Kris at Imagine That has this wonderful new image which is super cute called Easter Leesa.  The sentiment is from TLC.

Construction Happy Birthday

I have a nephew who has a birthday coming up so I thought this would be a fun card for him.  The image is from Digital Delights.  I had someone who has two daughters help me do some shopping and it was fun to see how he really got into shopping for my nephews.

Thinking of you

I finally needed a break from work and did a quick card for my stash and did a Viva la Verve Sketch card.  I wanted to use these bright, cheery papers to feel like spring.  There is talk of snow tomorrow, but I'm hoping that it doesn't it us.  The problem is that we could get sleet and that is a problem when you do home care.  However, it's spring in Wisconsin, and it's to be expected.

Diaper spelled backwards is REPAID

One of my co-workers is pregnant and they are expecting a girl in July.  They are not going with traditional colors the girls room is blue and green.  So that's why I tried to use those colors in this card with just a splash of pink.  The image is from Mo Manning and the sentiment is from TLC.

Lamb of God

One week until Easter!!!!  This is a card that I made using a pre-colored image from Imagine That called Lamb of God and the sentiment is from TLC.  It is another card that I didn't use any design paper on. I used several different border punches and ribbons.  I can't wait to see my family next week.
