Easter card w/ envelope

Happy Spring!

Sharing an Easter card I made to send to a couple people at church.

Features Basic Grey's "Olivia" paper and Lawn Fawn's bunny from "Critters in the Burbs". 

 The bunny was cut out of the patterned paper.

I added a dab of Stickles to the nose and Liquid Pearls to make a cute tail.  

Here's a matching envelope with the cut out bunny:

CCC79, PV and CC164: Fall Treat bags

Hi.

Sharing some treat bags I am making for my 3 year olds at church.

I found the poem on the Internet and changed a few words for their age level.

I'll write their name on that line beside the pumpkin.

so it will read "May God's light shine in _____".

The pumpkin was stamped in orange and brown and pieced together.  I used the tree leaf in the set to make a leaf for the pumpkin... little creative license, ha ha

I am entering this project in the following challenges:

Paper Variety #14

Greetings. 

Today's card was inspired by Paper Variety's challenge #14 this week.  The cute photo at the bottom of the post is the inspiration.  My card features an Imaginisce dog stamp.  I colored him with pencils and then added liquid pearls to his belly and glossy accents to his nose.  The hat was cut out of some patterned paper I had and I added the liquid pearls to it for texture.  I created the sentiment myself on the computer and printed it on colored paper.  It actually has pop dots behind it.  This challenge is generously sponsored by Cosmo Cricket!  YUM!

Here's the ADORABLE inspiration photo.  I just wanna snuggle that face!

Sorry for the dark photos.  I usually take mine outside but due to over 3 inches of snow on the ground I decided to stay inside, ha ha.  Stay warm! 

Thanks for coming by my blog today!  -Kelly

Supplies:
Paper:  MME, cardstock
Stamp: Imaginisce
Ink: Memento
Tools:  Spellbinder labels Eight, Crop-a-Dile
Misc: brads, string, Glossy Accents, Liquid Pearls by Ranger, pop dots

Thank You card for male

Happy Friday!  Today's card is a "thank you" for a male.  It looked very much like a sympathy card after I finished the stamping so a quick trip to HL helped cure that with the addition of the colored papers.  I think this one will be headed to one of the storytellers at church in the preschool department.  The kids love his ventriloquist act with "Arnold" who shares God's messages in such a humorous and entertaining manner. 

The fall colors were inspired by  City Crafter Challenge sponsored by the Pixie Dust Paperie

The overlapping of the trees was inspired by the weave in the Paper Variety challenge week 7 sponsored by Apron Strings Designs. 

Supplies:
Inks:  Stampin' Up in baroque burgundy, old olive, close to cocoa, ruby red, more mustard, and really rust; Distress in vintage photo, antique linen, peeled paint and weathered wood. 
Stamps:  Lawn Fawn "thank you" and tree???? no name and bought about 7 yrs ago...
Other: Stickles in red, Tim Holtz edge distresser

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a happy and SAFE Halloween!  -Kelly
