We had a beautiful Saturday and Sunday after several days of rain. My hubby got to mow the lawn for just the second time so far this year. It was a wonderful hint of the Spring that we've been looking for.
I made these Easter cards for Syd & Chandler. Syd's was made with The Painter and the Bee, a Penny Black stamp that I bought from Simon Says Stamp.
For the inside, I used two stamps. The stamp on top is Peeking Bunny from High Hopes (purchased from Stamp & Create) and the Happy Easter is from PSX:
My card for Chandler uses a stamp from High Hopes, Bunny Masterpiece.
The inside again uses the stamp Peeking Bunny from High Hopes and the Some Bunny stamp is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps.
That's all for today. I hope you saw the sun in your neck of the woods today.

Fishy Friends Take Two
I have so much fun with these guys. The stamps are from Stamp'n Up! I bought them on E-Bay. Since I live by the ocean, I'm always looking for sea-related stamps and designer papers (and there are a zillion of them out there!).
In addition to the fun dp (bottom) and the Cuttlebugged ef (top cardstock bubbles), I added some Robin's Nest dew drops (the blue bubbles rising from each fishy friend) and lots of crystal Stickles on the cardstock bubbles.

More Grey Hares!
I saw the idea for this card here, and thought it was so clever. When I found this stamp, Bunny Love, from High Hopes I thought it would be perfect. PLUS, I got to use some of my Polar White Flowersoft on their little fluffy bunny tails.

Spring Basket with Ribbon
Here are two more cards using my new Spring Basket stamp set from Gina K Designs. I thought it was interesting how the hue of the designer paper changed when I layered it over semi-light yellow on the first card and then a more golden yellow on the second card.
And here is the second one with some variations in color:

Can you tell I love frogs?!!
This next card is another Gina K Designs stamp set called Little Critters by Theresa Momber. I think Theresa is the Queen of blending and I've been trying to follow her tutorial steps to achieve that look. This is the best one that I've done (based on this tutorial):

Spring Basket
This card was made with a Stamp Set by Melanie Muenchinger called Spring Basket from Gina K Designs:
I stamped the flowers on white cardstock and the basket on red cardstock with Color Box black pigment ink, then cut them out. The flowers were colored with Tombow markers. The dp background paper was cut into three rectangles and adhered to the cardbase. The circle and scalloped circle (Spellbinders Nesties) were then layered over the dp and the basket and flowers were mounted on the circle with dimensionals for depth. The label and sentiment (computer generated) oval (Spellbinders) were adhered using brads.

Just Swinging By to Say Hi!
This cute guy is a LOTV stamp, Boys Hanging Around.
I colored the stamped image with Tombow markers, cut it out and mounted it over the background paper with dimensional foam squares. The fence is a Picket Fence Border Die from Taylored Expressions. For the grass, I cut and layered light & dark green cardstock that was cut with a Martha Stewart edge punch. The little flowers in the grass are from an old Emagination punch. The branch die is a QuicKutz. The label is from Spellbinders and the sentiment is computer generated.
