Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

OMG, this card just cracks me up! This is a digital image called "sheepish love" from Zlatoena Designs and I've been dying to use it. I printed it out onto some Neenah Classic Crest CS and colored it with my Copics. I stitched around the edges and added some mini black brads. The DP is a new collection called "it's the little things" from Fancy Pants. I thought it was so pretty on line when I ordered last week. Well, lemme tell ya, it's even prettier in person!! Love it when that happens! Ok, so I matted the DP with some SU Basic Black and edged a few with my Martha Stewart border punch. I added the sentiment and finished with some sheer polka dot ribbon tied in a cute bubbly bow.

Oh and here's the best part.....

What'd I tell ya..... it's a hoot ain't it? OMG, I just love it! *snort*

Some KRAFTY news!!

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hoppin' down the bunny trail....

Oh, mornin' hens!! Ya'll ready for my KRAFTY news?? Well, I've hardly been able to contain myself for the past couple of weeks. See, I got this email from Beth... you know - The Kraft Journal Beth? Uh-huh, that's the one! Can you believe it? She wanted to know if I would like to be this week's Guest Designer! SHUT UP! Ya'll know I LOVEEEEE Kraft so this was a "no brainer!" So, of course my response was, "YOU BETCHA I will!!" I'm SO STINKIN excited! Hey and get this, they have a KRAFT challenge too!! Who'd a thunk?? Tee-hee!

Ok, so my task as this week's Guest Designer is to lead off today's challenge..... This week's theme is Easter Celebration! Oooh, this was a PERFECT challenge for me because I SO needed to get a couple more cards done for my family.

So here's my take on this week's challenge.... whatcha' think? *sigh* I just WUV this little bunny. Although he looks a bit tuckered out! I guess all that hoppin' will do that to ya! LOL! This little guy is from Zlatoena Designs. She has the CUTEST little bunny images ever. Ok, so I printed my image onto some Neenah Classic Crest CS and colored it with my Copics. I matted the image with some Kraft CS and stitched around the edges. I adhered the image to this great DP from All My Memories that I picked up ages ago at my LSS. To finish, I added this vintage crocheted lace, along with some Baker's twine and a button on top! Wanna play along in The Kraft Journal's challenge? Just head on over to The Kraft Journal and get all the details. Oh and if ya decide to enter, why not link your project to my That's Krafty Thursday #50 challenge too!

Oh, but challenges can make it fun too, right? Take for instance today's card... this card will be entered into THREE challenges!!

For the first challenge, I followed the recipe at the Catered Crop!

This week's recipe includes the following ingredients:

Pattern Paper – Go Crazy with Patterns! Got it!
Colors – Anything Goes! Mix and match, try some black accents I did that too!
Stamps – Aprons, images from the kitchen or cupcakes Yup, cupcake's lookin' yummy!
Color Mediums – Prisma Pencils, pens (like Sharpies or Jelly Roll), black ink, distress inks Uh-huh, black ink & distress ink -check. check!
Embellishments – pearls, ribbon, rickrack Lovin' my orange rickrack!
Misc. Supplies – Puff Paints, Glossy Accents, ModPodge Hmmm? I think Stickles count!
Tools – border punches or die cuts (or use paper trims) Die cuts and then some, oh my!
Techniques – mixing patterns, coloring with Prisma pencils Oh yeah, did that too!
Theme – cooking or cupcakes Uh-huh!
Shapes – Squares Bunches of 'em!

Whew! So, as you can see, I used almost all the ingredients in the recipe, but you can use just one or as many as you'd like and whip up something totally different and totally yummy. Then link your project to the Catered Crop's FTR6 Challenge by March 3rd. The winner will receive a $30 gift certificate to Eat Cake Graphics! How AWESOME is that!
