My Kind of Wonderful

Bo Bunny has a card challenge for April up, and it's to use stamps. I wanted to participate so I used my gorgeous new "Prairie Chic" collection, and I used some of my beloved Bo Bunny stamps. I had several sets of their older stamps from a few years ago (remember those that came in the CD cases??). On this card, I used the distressed background stamp set (to create the dots on the bottom), and the flourishes stamp set (for the top left), and I paired them with white gesso. I also added the gesso all around the edges, and added some dimensional adhesive to create lots of layers. I love how it came out!

The Joys of Life

I just love this new collection from Kaisercraft, "Needle and Thread". It's so gorgeous and has such rich, vintage colors. I scrapped another pic of my daughter at the park, from March 30th. Here is another one of her, feeding the ducks. I also used a couple elements from some older Kaisercraft collections.

Unforgettable

A big post for today, sharing lots of images of my newest project - a printer's tray I made as a gift for my mom (that's her in the pic...she was so beautiful!). I'm entering it in the Cheery Lynn "Mother's Day" challenge. I used the new Kaisercraft "Needle and Thread" collection. I also used a couple Cheery Lynn Dies: Dancing Doily Lace Border and the Nautical Wheeler Doily.

Park Day

I scrapped a pic of DD at the park from a recent outing (3/30). Doesn't that photo go perfectly with the new "Prairie Chic" line by Bo Bunny? I made this for their sketch challenge this month.

@ The Duck Pond

Last Saturday, we spent a gorgeous few hours at the park...the weather was absolutely perfect. I got so many good photos from there, and I wanted to start scrapping them right away :) Here's the first one - Morgan feeding the ducks. The paper is by Ruby-Rock-It (don't you love this line??) - so perfect for the photo! And the pink pearl flourish is by Flourish With A Bling.
