Shabby Easter Dog card (Pink Gem Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Isn't this a sweet little dog? You can find him at Pink Gem Designs. I couldn't help going with a shabby style card seeing as she's a little shabby herself. I embossed the circle with a cloud folder and the sentiment was just printed from my computer using a special font (curly I think it's called).

Easter girl with carrot and bunnies card (Yampuff image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a couple more Easter cards to show you today. I found a really old patterned paper from my stash, this was a DCWV paper and it really is lovely, the rainbow hearts are glittered. I think this has been in my stash since I started scrapbooking about 8 years ago! Definitely time to use it especially as it has such lovely Spring colours. I used an image from Yampuff, I'm not sure of the link but it was a free image online. She was lovely to colour.

Circle Easter card (Pink Gem Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

If you're one of my lovely followers you will have just seen my shabby chic style Easter card and now in contrast, I have created a bright clean cut Easter card. This image is so beautiful don't you think? You can find her at Pink Gem Designs. This card was a little fiddly as I used many die cuts and then with the scene circle I made it by: sticking down the sky and hills to a previous circle die cut and then putting it through the die cutting machine again. I hope this makes sense. The gorgeous green pearls are from Flourish with a Bling
