Come on SPRING!!

The snowbanks are melting.... and the waterway is flooding!  Jay is working on the ark so we can rescue Maddie, Paedro, Scoobie, Shaggie, Daphgne and the babies!  Thank goodness they have the hillside!!

The melting snow reminds me of Easter...   I used my cricut to create an Easter Banner!

Isn't she adorable!!  I printed grapics from Cuddly Buddly and used my glitter pens to highlight her!   

You can check out Cuddly Buddly  here. 

The banner is made with basic grey cardstock & BoBunny Delilah paper pack.

There's nothing like a cute banner to Welcome Easter!!

I was SO excited to receive my March MemoryWorks Express Kit!!   Earlier in the week, I happened upon Denise's purse cut file and simply couldn't wait to use my express kit to create a purse album!

I made a few alterations to Denise's pattern and came up with a mini tag album.  Thanks for the inspiration Denise!   I LOVE this paper!  I outlined the flowers using my glitter pens and added pearls and crystals from e. 

The tag on page 2 pulls out from the flower border and the lime green swiss dot tag is hidden between pages 2 & 3. 

Pages 3 & 4 feature flowers cut from Platin Schoolbook at 2.5".  I used my glitter pens to trace around the flowers on page 3 and added pearls from e. to 'pop' the centers of the flowers.

Another hidden tag...

Enjoy your day! ~Rhonda

Paper, Paper, and More Paper!!!

Along with the snowy frigid weather comes the desire to scrap til my heart's content.... I've been working on a set of bear cards, all occasion friendship cards and an adorable set of purses the past week!  I don't really have a favorite out of the three, but really enjoy starting with blank paper and ending up with a unique creation!  My inspiration for the bear cards was a memory of one of my son's favorite teddy bears... I used design studio to design the bear and let my cricut do the cutting work for me!  Wow!  What a machine! I'm unsure how I ever lived without it!!  The purses were alot of fun! I used prisms card stock and desgined the lettering my paint shop pro to print the X's, and O's and Be My Valentine on the papers before the cricut cut them   out!  Back to the drawing board for the next project!  Hope to see you later this afternoon!  Enjoy your day! ~Rhonda at This Old Barn
