ATS Winged Things

I'm feeling inspired to make a card for my young great-niece who makes her First Holy Communion next week and the ATS Blog challenge Winged Things fits the bill perfectly!  Decisions, decisions...hmmm, I'm thinking of a couple of my favorite digital stamps from ATS that would be perfect.

Keep eyes  peeled for a card soon!

Pretty Pink Posh 10 Minute Craft Dash

I was sitting at my computer thinking of an Easter card when up popped on my Facebook page a color themed challenge from Pretty Pink Posh.  They are sponsored on this challenge by Lawn Fawn.  They have the cutest stamps I've been eyeing for some time.  

Here's what I created in 8 minutes...

I started with a 4.25" x 5.5" kraft card and scalloped the border, added a strip of green cardstock to match my May Arts chevron ribbon then stamped a Easter egg border and greeting on a 5.5" x 4" white cardstock that I added a scalloped border to and ribbon before taping to the kraft card and voila!  All done :)  Usually my cards have more detail and proper coloring with Copics but I was really happy to see you can make cute cards without investing hours of work. I think I'm going to make some more too!

Ebay Scrapbook Layouts

It has been forever since I made scrapbook layouts to sell.  I thought I'd give it a try to see if I could use up some of my stash and have a little die-cutting fun.  I love putting these together but the detailed original ones I used to make took so much time.  Here are a couple that will go to the first buyer with $10.00/each:
