Today I am posting the first (and to date the only completed) of my batch of Easter cards.
This is the first one......
It's made with a lovely Digi from Digistamp Boutique, coupled with some papers from the NitWits Eggstra special collection, which happens to be one of my favourietes becasue of the lovely vibrant colours.
As you can see, I have made full use of my Grand Nestie Scalloped circles here and there is a little bit of recycling in there too, as the green twine that you can see was originally wrapped around my mother's day flowers!
So here is version two of the same card, using all the same elements, but slightly different papers from the Eggsta Special collection.
I hope that you like them both!
There are some lovely Easter and Spring Challenges this week so I am going to enter these cards in to the following:
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Shaped Card
One Stop Craft - Easter
Card makin Mamas - Easter
The Poodle Parlour - Polka Dots
Cure Card Thursday - Happy Easter
Catch the Bug - Easter / Spring
The good news for me is that I am on holiday this week (whahooo!!!) so I am hoping to fit in some more time for Easter Card Making and also to finish off my mega task of finishing the knitted baby blanket that I am making for my soon to arrive Great Nephew number one. I think I only have two or three inches left to knot, but, since there is another great nephew on the way (due to be born on my birthday) I have already bought the wool to start on a second blanket! Good job that I am enjoying the knitting experience so far.....variety is the spice of life as they say.
Also - I have received two lovely blog awards recently, so I really must devote some time to posting these and 'sharing the love,' but in the meantime I would like to say a big THANKYOU to the two lovely ladies who thought of me.
I think that's all from me for today, so thank you for stopping by, and come back for another visit soon!
