Here's a super cute Easter card from Pink and Main. I just love their stamps and their cute card making kits. If you haven't checked them out, you should look them up sometime. (No, i'm not a paid promoter, just a fan.)
Guest Designer Gaye made this lovely card using stamps that she won LAST year. I just love these cute images that she got. If you got a prize and made a card, I'd love to see it and share it here on my blog, just send me a photo at htondre@aol.com

Hooray for Easter! Here's a cute little mini sized card that I made for the Easter holiday. I used some rainbow background paper and some easter egg paper with a cute layered front message. I hope you like it. Are you ready for the holiday yet?
Here's a beautiful Easter theme card, since we are just over a week from the holiday, I wanted to share some of the cards I made for the occasion. This cutie comes from Pink and Main. I just love their easter kits. So during spring break I got this text "Your flight is cancelled." It came at 3am, and of course I am awake and cutting lace. UGH. I went to my flight booking and sure enough, my flight was just cancelled, no replacement, nothing! Sigh, so I, like I would do, decided to rebook for three days earlier than I was scheduled. Ha ha!! 58 days to go

Happy Monday everyone! It's time to start a new week. I am glad that I am off today.

I listened to the same set of music, everyday for months. Lucky that I can enjoy it. I listened to it A LOT.
