Author Happy Easter everyone !!! Thought I would share with you the Easter basket I made for my daughter’s gymnastic sister. The bunny is the same cut as the one on my previous card post. The bunny is so cute that I had to make another project with it. The basket is from Michaels. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
Has anyone tried the Martha Stewart Custom Stamp Setting Kit? I just did and I give it 2 thumbs down! I used the round stamp and put the small letters in the center of it and then the round decorative border around it. The border sits higher than the letters so the letters won’t stamp correctly. I took the border off and stamped the letters separately then the border and that doesn’t give a smooth impression either as nothing sits flush perfectly. boooo! I really like the MS punches, glitter, and flock. So, this stamp set is a big disappointment for me.
If anyone has any tips for getting crisp, even stamps out of this set, please let me know.
I made this super cute Easter card for the Peachy Keen sketch challenge #49. This one was a little difficult at first, but once I cut out all the squares, it came together nicely. The cut is from Treasure Box Designs and I cut it using my Sure Cuts A Lot.

I’ve been wanting to make cake pops ever since I saw them on a blog several months ago — and today was the day. My daughter, Sara, had her usual three hour gymnastic practice this morning and afterwards we stopped at the store and picked up our supplies. Making the pops wasn’t hard, it was just very time consuming. I had fun making these with my daughters. I let them decorate them anyway they wanted and here are their masterpieces. They are gluten free. Enjoy.
What a georgious day we had today — it got up to 78 degrees today! Not bad considering it’s been in the 30′s and 40′s lately. My girls were able to play outside most of the day and I had some quiet time in my craft room. I Was going to create my first project on my YuDu I just purchased (M’s for $99) but instead, I wound up cleaning a couple shelved in my closet to store the YuDu and all my paper stacks. Then, I created an Easter card.
My first couple of projects on the Imagine didn’t align oh so well. So, today I updated my Imagine to the latest firmware and then re-calibrated it again. That seemed to do the trick. Yay!
