Where 'O Where...

Spring has really been on my mind lately..and I thought it was coming soon. The grass was peeking through in large spots in our yard, but then... another storm hit us last night! We had several inches of snow again and a late start to school! ICK! I really need to get out, get some fresh warm air, hear the birds, and feel the sun on me! I tell ya, the winters here are sooo very long. Maybe I need to get some tanning sessions or something. ha I'm so jealous of all of you who are sweating right now! :) One thing I do have to look forward to is that my mom is coming to visit me SOON! I miss her so much...can't wait! I just hope the weather cooperates for her to get here!

So, with me longing to get outside, I can't help but make more of these little birdhouse cards and tons of butterfly things! I'm so addicted to anything with butterflies on it lately! This little birdhouse card was made with the card kit from Right at Home. I think there are still a few kits left, if I'm not mistaken. Papers are the new Scenic Route "Providence" line.And below: the butterfly card was created for this month's contest over at Scenic Route's website! I got a wild hair to enter a contest. hehe What I did was use the negative of the butterfly chipboard and painted it white and stitched with red stitching along the edges. I backed it with some more of the new Scenic Route "Providence" papers and added a Scenic Route sentiment.

I'm not sure if they'll like the "shabbiness" of it..but I guess we'll see! :) Thanks for stopping by today. I'm finally on the mend and feeling creative once again. When the virus hit me last week, my creativity went right out the door, I didn't think I was going to feel like scrapping ever again. lol Don't forget to check out my new card kit which will be revealed in 2 weeks at CMK! You must be a member to get a kit each month (visit the link for more info). I think you are going to LOVE these! Lisa put together the first kit for me and it's so much FUN!

Just wanted to say...

Happy Easter!

I have all my desserts baked, eggs boiled for dying (we are going to do it at Grandma's house this year), niece and nephew's Easter baskets are ready...I think I'm almost ready for tomorrow. I thought of this little carrot card last night, so I had to make one for my niece's basket! (I don't think my 14 year old nephew would appreciate it stuck in his basket..ha) Oh, and can't forget the camera! Have a joyful Easter day tomorrow! Hugs, Danielle

Happy Good Friday!

Easter is almost here! Do you have fun plans for Easter? Our tradition includes an outdoor egg hunt with our in-laws and all of my husband's cousins, (my kids' 2nd cousins), so the kids are excited as always. This year all my egg hunt photos are going to include hats, gloves, snow boots and the like as we still have LOTS of snow and actually it snowed again last night! Phooey! No cute little Easter dresses for us this year.

I've been feeling under the weather the last few days with quite a sore throat, hopefully it will go away soon. And poor Kati has had a temperature too. I'm sooooo ready for Spring and no more colds or being cooped up inside!

I have some exciting news to share with you all! If you are interested in purchasing an exciting new monthly card kit from me, I am no longer at Treasured Scrapbooking...my year was up there and I have more things coming my way, which I'll be able to share soon....but one exciting thing has happened along the way lately that I can share! I will have a monthly card kit available at Create My Keepsake! The first one is going to be available April 15th, however it is going to be on a "membership basis". So if you are interested, head on over to CMK today! The memberships are up and ready and they are limited. Members receive discounts, ability to pick and choose which monthly kits you want to purchase, and other benefits as well! I promise you won't be disappointed! You will also love the awards program. Points are earned for purchases, and they add up fast which equals free stuff for you! I love CMK because they always have the newest things (and I have to buy on-line since we don't have a local scrapbooking store here anymore). The card kits will come with instructions and photos for 4 cards!

I've been playing around with my photos lately trying to figure out these "actions". I think I could get quickly addicted to these! I purchased one from Photoblast called "vignette". Love how it frames the photo and takes out the ugly green carpet! LOL
To Emka: Yes, I am originally from Rapid!! It's a small world, eh? I couldn't figure out how to get ahold of you from your post on my blog!

And just really quick I'd like to give a shout out to my dad...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Dad!! He is 57 today! Miss you soooo much and love you!!!
Have a Happy Easter, everyone! =)
