Easter Fun ...

 
I'm so ready for our monthly Demonstrator meeting tomorrow evening at my upline Michelle Deslandes!  My family of girls is my lifeline and they bring so much brightness to the dreariest of days.  I hope they don't peek at my blog ... 'cause I'm sharing the swap that I made for them.  The theme this month was a 3D Easter swap.  I had so much fun making these cute little door hangers inspired by Andrea Walford. I ended up filling them with Easter grass and tying a bow around the boxes.  I love them!  After I finished I couldn't settle down so I whipped up some of these cute little Easter cards.  I don't know why my camera messed up the color. I used the Ice Cream Parlor DSP from Sale-a-Bration again.  It goes great with Rose Red and Marina Mist.  What do you think?
Hugs from chilly VT!

Hartford Regionals ...

As the date draws closer to the Hartford Regionals, I find myself so excited.  I get into this crafting mood and can't slow down.  I managed to do 70% of my card swaps and made a few 3d items to share.  I have never been to Regionals before so I have no idea what to expect.  All I know ... is that any time spent with demonstrators and Stampin' Up family is a blessed time in my life!!   So ... I'm addicted to making these 4x6 desk calendars.  They were a huge seller at my craft fairs this year so after some quality time with my kids (yes, we went and saw Gnomeo and Juliet and shared some much needed laughter, junk food and family time) I whipped up some of these to swap.  I used clear 4x6 frames that I found in a department store of all places.  I struggled with the first two - taking out my favorite color combo of elegant eggplant and so saffron.  I noticed I had a package of Ice Cream Parlor DSP & Accents from the Sale-a-Bration catty and started to play around.  I love it!  What do you think?
     Hope all is well in your crafting world!

I've been CASEing

I needed a little Inspiration to get back in the groove!  I have a new club starting on the 28th for young girls, a demonstrator group meeting where we are doing a shoebox swap and a scrapbooking club starting (if all works out)!  I found a cute little owl that Lynn Pratt shared (isn't she amazing?) so I played around a bit and made one myself.  I also made another page for my planner and lifted an idea for a valentine treat cup Holly at rubberredneck.typepad.com!
