This duckling seriously cracks me up...he is just as darling as he can be stepping over the rain boot to bring you a fresh picked flower!  To create the rain boot, I used one of the beautiful papers from the new Spring Has Sprung Paper Pack and added dot diecuts from the Polka Dots Plate Die.  Squeeeee...how cute is this rain boot?!  I want a pair of them...LOL!

You can't have flowers without rain.  The raindrops come from the Raindrops Die.  I cannot believe it has taken me this long to order this incredibly fun die.  It is definitely a must have die to add to your collection!



I created the frame using the largest square die from the Double Stitched Squares Die Set and the Small Lacy Border Die.  I carefully trimmed the border die to fit around the square to create my own custom frame.  Before adhering the lacy border around the frame I embossed the frame using the small dot stencil from the Snowy Hills Layering Stencil Set.  I added the sweet little bow using the same designer paper as the rain boot.  Sigh....I love this sweet little card!

LOL  These were so much fun to make!  To give the roses some added texture, I added some white acrylic paint to the petals and added some shabby flourishes diecuts behind them.



How cute is the new Baby Onesie Die?!  This die set comes with extra dies to create either a ruffle like you see on my project or a cute little star.

~ Always In My Heart - La-La Land Crafts ~

Hello and welcome!

I am excited to share my Inspiration Friday project with you today.  The challenge theme this week is THINKING OF YOU.  What better way to let someone know you are thinking of them than letting them know they are always in your heart!




I chose a classic La-La Land Craft's image called Marci In Wonderland.  She is one of my very favorite images.  I fell in love with her the moment I saw her!  I paired her with blue designer papers from the Love You More Designer Paper Pack.  How awesome is the paper with the hearts?!  They remind me of a heart and a spade together in one, which is perfect for a Marci In Wonderland themed card!



Marci took me a little longer to color than normal this week as I decided to test out some different color combos.  I decided to go outside of my comfort zone and chose to use different combos I don't normally use for skin, hair and blues.  I am totally in love with how she turned out!  The extra time it took me to test out these color combos was well worth it.  If you follow me and saw my post from last week, you know pastel is not my strong suit.  The struggle is real.  However,  I think I conquered it this week.  You can see my last week's post HERE.



Even though there are seven different die cuts on this card, I still think it looks clean, simple and elegant.

The pop of red from the heart against the softness of the blue makes it really stand out.  The sentiment becomes more meaningful when your eye is drawn to the heart.

~ Easter Bunny Parade - La-La Land Crafts ~

Hello My Crafty Peeps!

I am so "hoppy" you are joining me here today for my Inspiration Friday challenge post.  Today's challenge over at La-La Land Crafts is PASTEL.  Well, as you can see, pastel was quite the challenge for me.  I actually find it quite hard to color softly as I am a heavy handed colorist.  I seem to like more contrast in my coloring and I would consider my card more bright than pastel but I am quite hoppy how it turned out as I love the colors of Easter and spring.  Coloring more softly is definitely something I still need to work on.  What, if any, do you feel is a challenge for you when you go to color or create a project?



When I was growing up, I woke up to the most delightfully decorated Easter table and my Easter basket was always overflowing with deliciousness!  My mom, I mean the Easter Bunny, never disappointed me Easter morning!  My mom also loved to sew and would make me the most beautiful long flowing dresses.  One year, my dress was made of colorful gingham panels and ric rac.  When I was designing this card, it brought back this beautiful Easter memory.  I feel blessed having grown up in a home seeing my mom pursuing her creative dreams. 



This row of bunny butts just cracks me up! 



I covered the Easter diecut with Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste.  Even though it is hard to tell in the pictures, it is full of sparkly goodness!

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter!
