I heard about the Purple challenge on Steph’s blog. Her Card is absolutely amazing, you should check it out.
I don’t have a lot of purple, so I thought that it would be a challenge. Man, I can’t believe that near 15 years ago that was my brides maid colour … I’M SORRY, girls! [...]

While DH patiently helped DD study for her Grade 3 math test tomorrow, I kept the boys busy with youtube surfing on RETRO Muppets. I must have been asked to watch this at least 5 times.
By the time it was bath time, the boys were humming it & I couldn’t get [...]

Here’s my submission for Taylor’s Cupcake Challenge. She had such a happy idea for a card I couldn’t resist. I haven’t used the Treat Yourself stamp set in a bit.
To see some fantastic submissions, check out the code TECC9 on SplitcoastStampers.
Just one more pic of the sparkle:
Gotta go, or we’re going to be [...]
Origami Treat Holder … to hold a cookie or two.

I was perusing SplitCoastStampers, as I have for years, but have never joined it until this week. Anyhow, I saw Robin’s very cool Tart & Tangy Treat holder & had a flash back to making those as a kid (but mine was made out of the lined paper I tore out of my Phonics Exercise [...]
Kristina’s Color Inspiration #3

I was hoping I had the colours for Kristina’s Color Inspiration #3.
Kristina’s Inspiration was from Pier I Imports. Because I didn’t have PP in the challenge, I tried something I saw Dawn use here and here. I loved both of her cards, the polka dot thing, just too cute. I used an [...]

Here’s some baking from Easter Monday, double batch, one for a friend & one for my munchkins:
Occasionally, I pour melted semi sweet chocolate (+ a wee bit of shortening & light coloured corn syrup mixed with melted chocolate) over top of it & let it harden, then sprinkle powdered sugar over top. My [...]
Cuttlebug in the Ole’ Sizzix Machine

I can’t keep up with all the new toys out there, not enough room (or cash) in my craft cubbie in the basement. I did; however, see this beautiful embossed card from Karen which I loved & she had used the Cuttlebug. I don’t own a Cuttlebug. I can’t go out & [...]
Busy and Blessed Weekend

It was a busy, busy weekend, as it was for many other families, I’m sure. We had our Egg hunt before the Easter Service and it was quite funny in that “baby brother” didn’t so much find Easter Eggs as he did traffic control his older siblings treats into his basket.
Here are the [...]
Easter Egg Decorating

Thought I’d try something new this year to make a “speckled egg” look.
Enter the S.U. Colour Spritzer Tool, like an air brush using markers. I think next year I’ll try it “not so close” to create such an intense splotch on the eggs. I might try to blow the eggs out too, [...]

I love going to Kristina’s Blog on a daily basis. She always has new ideas & her idea this week was from a funky coloured kids room. These are the S.U. shades for her Colour Challenge #2:
I’m not sure about the yellow: So Saffron Colour, as I think the yellow I [...]
