Remember, you can use any type of crafting medium for this challenge just as long as you stick to the theme. We are being sponsored this time by Peggy Loves Vintage. She is offerin 5 cut out images of the winners choice as the prize!! I have been admiring her images for quite awhile and was so glad when she offered the DT members a chance to work with one of the great vintage images. I used the image St. Clair for my easel card.


Please link up your Spring/Easter project at the Craft Us Crazy challenge blog for your chance to win!


Here is a little info about Peggy Loves Vintage:
My husband and I have shared 36 years together and we have 2 sons and a daughter and 2 glorious grandkids ages 3 and 6. I started collecting vintage cards quite by accident. I was helping with my aunts estate sale and ran across her collection. The cards were so wonderful that I fell in love with them and have been collecting them ever since. I love to get a new vintage scrapbook and read all about the lives and times of the individual. Some of their stories are truly inspiring.

Hope

I got to spend some time crafting today just for pleasure and not to meet a design team deadline. I have wanted to make a card with this beautiful fairy for quite awhile now. The image is Fairy Fae Catches a Star from TiddlyInks. The flower was made using 3 circles and cutting them with decorative edge scissors. The word Hope and the stars were cut out of gold foil paper.

Reading Rachel


Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring 365 Cards all week long. Today's challenge is PQR (Polka Dots, Quilt, and Red). For my card I decided to use Reading Rachel from Sassy Studio Designs. This challenge was a little challenging for me. Once I decided to use a pattern paper and paper piece the blanket on her lap for the quilt, the rest of the card was pretty easy. The Martha Stewart border punch adds a few more fun polka dots to the card. I added some snow white flower soft to her slippers to give them a soft fuzzy look.

For A Special Young Man

This card is for a very special 9 year old. I just love this card because it combines two of my favorite things, digi stamps and cuts from my Cricut! The digi stamp is Nature Boy Lover from Sassy Cheryl's. Isn't he just the cutest? The frog is from the Boys Will Be Boys Cricut cartridge and the snail is from the Nate's ABC's Cricut cartridge.
