Your probably thinking Easter is this girl nuts it's only August. LOL! When I saw the sketch at Sketch Saturday I instantly got this card idea. The bunny image in the bottom middle is from a TAC stamp set that was kindly sent to me by Tina (Tina I will be placing an order with you soon - Love the stamps). The eggs are from Cricut Doodlecharms. The word Easter was on paper that I bought from the dollar store and I cut them out to fit on my card better (they were to spread out on the original paper).
I know I go from Easter to winter/Christmas. But hey when you get a card idea you have to run with it. This sketch is from this weeks Our Creative Corner challenge. I was having a difficult time getting the "wave" just right so I went with a more "wavier" look. Over all I'm pleased with the card with the exception of the bottom left corner I dabbed ink on it in error and if I cut it off I will have to cut the word Joy off and the card wouldn't look right. It gives it that personal touch I guess. Grrrrrrr. The right side of the card I ran through the cuttlebug using the snowflake embossing folder. Can't wait to get my hands on the new embossing folders! I also made this card for the PaperTake Christmas Card Challenge.
The challenge at Papertake was Cool Yule, make a Christmas card. I had this house mouse image for the longest time but never used it. It's an okay card, nothing specular or wow about it but its kind of cute. The paper I had in my stash forever so sorry don't know who it is from.
Finally this is going to be our nieces birthday card. She will be 3 on the 25th of this month. Cinderella was made using the Happily Ever After cartridge. I covered her slipper in diamond stickles. There is a sparkle by her hip in the picture here but rest assure there is nothing on the actual card I examined it real good, so it must be from the flash. I still need to come up with a cute princess birthday saying for the inside. I was thinking about stamping Happy birthday under Cinderella (in the blue part) but then thought nah.

You asked me about a tailored bow on my blog and I wanted to let you know I updated that card with a link showing how. Hope it helps!!!!
I am so glad you liked the stamp set. You did a great job with it and like how you used it. What clever thinking.
Great cards. I love them all.
Cute cards. We all make cards we don't need right away all the time, so it doesn't matter if you made a easter or a christmas card now.
You go from 0 cards on one day to 4 cards in one day :-)
These cards are stunning Chrissy. I love the Cinderella one.
Fantastic creations sweetie.
