Sorry, I couldn't resist the corny title for this posting. These two Easter baskets will find their way to a couple of special people. I used digi images from Karen's Doodles for the front of each basket. On the Karen's Doodles challenge blog this week the challenge is a photo inspiration. The picture is of a lovely bedroom all done in pink, white and green. Perfect colors for a couple of Easter baskets.

Birthday Card

I made this card for my mother in law. She loves gardening and flowers so I put Tilda on the watering can. I used the sketch from week 96 over at Sketch Saturday. I got to use lots of my favorites on this card which include my cuttlebug, cricut, copics, Magnolia stamps, ribbon and flower. I had a great time shopping at Michaels for supplies because I found the flowers in the clearance section.

Gone Fishing

These pictures were taken on Father's Day in 2003. We had a great time fishing in the pond. Everyone caught fish that day and we all had to pose with our best catch. Grandpa caught the smallest fish but he still had to show it off. It is hard to see in the pictures but I added actual fishing line the fishing poles. The fishing line goes down behind the pictures and is attached to the fish in the corners. I used the 3-24-2010 sketch from Let's Scrap for this layout.

Special Day Birthday Card

This card is for my nephew who will be 11 years old soon. We decided that it would be more fun to spend the day with him than to give him just another toy. Our plans are to take him out to eat, to see the movie "How To Train Your Dragon" or to go bowling and then we would end the day with him spending the night at our house. Somewhere in there we will probably end up going to the store and letting him pick out something he would like. I am hoping that he likes this gift and is as excited about the day as we are. Lots of Cricut cuts on this one from lots of different carts. I was in a rush to finish so I am disappointed that I didn't have more time to embellish with ink and chalk.

Spring Fold Easter Cards

I just love these images from Karen's Doodles so much that I had to make more cards. This time I did both a boy and girl bunny. These cards are made using the spring fold technique. I found the directions at Splitcoaststampers. They are so easy to make. You can find the directions here. If you decide to make some of these cards, please send me a note so that I can see your creations.
