Springtime Smiles

All supplies are Stampin' Up. I combined the sentiment, egg, and flourish from the Easter Blossoms set and the Day Of Gratitude medallion for this clean and simple card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge over at SCS. (For Mary Beth- mbrcutie25)
I really like to find ways to make each set versatile for year round use and both of these seasonal sets would work for that.

My second pic is the clown that we made at our cake decorating class yesterday. Mainly we were working on roses which I think I may need to keep practicing. A lot. Sorry I didn't get the picture of the clown before my guys tore into the cake.

Nature Walk Birdcage

Designer paper and ribbon are Webster's Pages, stamp set is Nature Walk by Stampin' Up.

Prayers For Japan

I am keeping the people of Japan in my thoughts and prayers and made my card thinking of hope and renewal for them.
Butterfly and sentiment are from Mark's Finest Papers (Just Dandy and Thankful Mums and Pumpkin sets), Stampin' Up sets Easter Blossoms and Kimono Kids. Chiyogami paper (Japan) with Celery and Pink Pirouette cardstocks.

Believing Is Seeing

I love the sentiment from this Stampin' Up set called Just Believe. This is for the color challenge to use Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, and Crumb Cake. All supplies are Stampin' Up except for Nestabilities die cut frames. Springtime Vintage papers, Baja seam binding ribbon and half pearls.

Baskets and Bunnies

I used this adorable Stampendous clear Easter Basket set that I came across in the clearance area of the craft store. Resistance was futile.
Colored the basket and bunny in Copic markers, Scallop Circle frame SU Sizzix die, More Mustard and Whisper White cardstocks.

Sweet Summer

Sweet Summer set with Springtime Vintage designer paper by Stampin' Up. For today's SCS Featured Stamper challenge honoring Bridget Finlay, our sweet friend from Ireland!

Cakes 101

Finally a hobby of mine my whole family can enjoy! I took my first cake decorating class today where we are learning the very basics. My practice cookie shows the first effort at using the star tip. I don't expect to look like the Cake Boss any time soon, I just want my occasional cake to not look so darn pitiful.
