It's Time to Do the Bunny Hop!



Next, please hop over Judy's lovely blog...


I love this digi pooch which was designed by (ta-da!) our fearless leader, Sandy Allnock - So, thanks, Sandy, for the great Easter image which is colored with Faber-Casell watercolor pencils and aqua brush.

We're almost done with cards for Easter (due March 18) and hard at work on Mother's Day (due March 31) and, of course, we always need "all occasion" cards with or without sentiments. I am constantly inspired and amazed by the creativity of the women on this blog and the sense of satisfaction I get in creating for such a worthy cause! And we send so many cards each week, it's amazing!

There's a little blog candy here for one lucky "hopper" which, if I can't get this random.org thingy to work will be distributed with the assistance of shipper Dixie!

A New Embossing Technique (for me)!


GMTA... had a card making afternoon with friends and we did flowers glued onto cardstock, then embossed with Sizzix lattice card and lo and behold, here comes a similar tutorial the next day..... love this technique and will use a lot more than the 15 cards I already did for OWH!

This card is also for the "anything goes" challenge #8 on the Do You Stack Up challenge blog.
