P.S. Hope you all had a Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from Vista, Ca.!  Ok, so this is going to be really quick since I need to get Easter Dinner going. ; )  On Friday 3/21 I went to the Local Scrapbooking Store (Pink Pineapple) here in Vista, I hadn’t gone in a while! Wanted to post this last night but was way to tired.  Anyway, one of the gals that works there (Erin) told us a really sad story about a gal who had lost her 2 yr old son and that it was posted on Lisa Bearnsons Blog, well anyway, we were asked to make cards as she loves getting them. So I made one and it is being sent, if you would like to be a part of this you can check out the story on Lisa Bearnsons Blog.  It brought me to tears as I have a 3 1/2 yr old and I can’t even imagine.  So anyway, thought I would help get the word out and I know I have TONS of cards and Card Fronts waiting to be used.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin!

Cert_celery_p_plum_baskets
Ok, are these to Stinkin Cute or what????   I saw this project and fell in LOVE with it.  The basket pattern itself as I said was from the Stampin Up Site.  The idea itself, I believe if from "Richard Garay".  To Cute!!!

Anyway, I  made several of these and they were pretty fast and easy.
The basket is from a 6 x 6 sheet of card stock scored at 2" and 4" on both sides, the handle is 1 x 8. The rest you can see is from the Good Egg set!  Ok, it is officially Easter now, so Happy Easter to you all and Thanks for stopping by! I will post a little something tomorrow, so come back and check.

Happy Stampin’,

I’ve been tagged twice….

Rub-On’s Treat Holder

Ok, so I am WAY behind using these Rub-Ons! I don’t know what the heck I was waiting for!  I was just feeling a little intimidated until I saw this on Andreas Site – GREAT Tutorial!
