I used the topnote die with a Penny Black image and a sentiment that says ~ Just chicken to see how you`ve been doing... from Inky Antics. Added a punched bow and rhinestone, photo corners and punched opposite sides with a MS Corner Punch inside. Won`t you join in the fun? Thanks for peeking at my work and comments are always so much appreciated.

I used a 6 x 6 square of Bazzill textured cs for my base, textured Soft Suede cs, Tempting Turquoise cs, and dp from Euphoria from Basic Grey. I used the scallop die from PTI and the Label 11 from Spellbinders for my main image and popped it up. I used a MS Corner Punch on the inside. I used Kaiser gemstones and a butterfly from K & Co. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!
Hi Sis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! Today`s CAS challenge was to just stamp the sentiment and nothing else. My sentiment is from PTI as are the Hawaiian Shores Felt and Flower Dies. The yellow dp is from Kaisercraft. The flowers inside and on the envelope are punched from this paper. The buttons are from PTI. Thanks for looking and hoping you have a day full of sunshine!
Hi Sis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi and Happy Easter everyone!! Today`s Featured Stamper is TheresaCC. Congrats to you Theresa! You have an amazing talent for all things stamping and you are such an awesome artist! A well deserved honor you should enjoy this week.

I chose this card to case.
Theresa`s Card
I changed mine to a square,changed the main colors, and stamps used. I kept the same basic idea of one large main area and matted very thinly with the black. I changed my base to Hawaiian Shores CS rather than white and the brads to three black pearls. I colored my image with Copic Markers. I used a MS Corner Punch inside my card and on the envelope. The dp is Euphoria from BG. Thanks for taking a peek! Hope you get to spend your day with loved ones and have some time to reflect on what Easter means to you.
Hi Sis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Peeps! For those of you who don`t know...I am Lithuanian (both sides of my family) And on Easter after coloring and decorating our eggs (and after going to church) we would always choose what we thought was going to be the hardest egg. We had an egg cracking event. My grandfather (on my mom`s side) always won! I think it was not so much the egg but how he held it when someone would try and crack his! He left very little of his egg showing. I have tried to master his technique but no such luck! Isn`t it funny the small events and customs such as these we look so forward to as children. I hope my children pass this fun game on to their own. :-)

Here is my recipe for Swedish Coffee Buns which are melt in your mouth delicious! Ironic too as my dh and I are starting Atkins Monday and cannot eat bread.
Scald 1 cup canned milk. Pour over 1 stick of butter. Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. When cooled down add 2 beaten eggs (room temp) and 1 yeast cake. Adding cardamom is optional but we loved the taste. Add 4 to 5 cups bread flour...depending on the moisture in the air the day you make them...I usually ended up with 5 cups. Let rise in covered bowl for 1 hour. Make rolls and let rise again. I made mine by pinching off a twist and actually tied them in a criss cross. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. YUMMY!

Talk to you tomorrow! Go to sleep all you peeps so the Easter bunny makes it to your house! And blessings to you all.
Hi Sis!!!!!!!

Hi! YAY! I finally felt well enough to do a card today. Some `ole bug had a hold on me and would not let go! Thanks to all who sent me pm`s and emails hoping I got better fast. I appreciate it! Todays Inspiration Challenge Steph sent us to William Chambers Millinery. What fabulous hats! I can remember trying on my grandmothers hats when I was a young girl. What fun that was! I got my inspiration from this hat.

Pink Flower Hat
It reminded me of a butterfly. :-) I used pink shimmer cs and punched the opposite corners (inside and out) with an EK Success Corner Punch. The envelope is embossed partially with the Swiss Dots EB Folder. I used the grass from Inspired by Nature and my sentiment says springtime...there is magic in the air... and is by Penny Black. The butterfly is by Prima and really sparkles irl. Thanks for taking a peek! Hope everyone has a joyous Easter weekend! Will be back later to tell you about an old Lithuanian custom and to share a recipe. :-)
Hi Sis!!!!!!!!!!!

It is going on my wall of fame!! :-)
