Happy Easter

True story:

Not exactly sure how old he was,

perhaps two or three.

(And this was many, many years ago!)

My daughter-in-law wanted my grandson

to tell me about their trip to the mall.

You know how little ones are.

If they can't see you, then you can't see them.

Translation:

He turned his back on his mom.

She was persistent and kept saying,

"Tell Gramma what you did when you saw the Easter Bunny.

Tell Gramma what you did when you saw the Easter Bunny."

Numerous times.

He finally threw up his hands and said,

"Scream and cry,

scream and cry,

scream and cry."

That's what he did when they took him

to see the Easter Bunny.

Not an Easter goes by that I don't think of this story.

Okay, now time to share some Easter cards.

See, Andy ... the Easter Bunny isn't scary!

However you spend your day, enjoy!

In your Easter bonnet

Through the years ...

Looks like the Easter bunny

was hopping through the snow this year.

As I grew, so did the bunny.

In addition to the bunnies,
my parents always, always, always
went to Peggy Gray's Candies
in Erie, Pennsylvania.
I can still taste the chocolate bunnies!
And the best part?
I'm pretty sure they are still in business.
If you live in the area,
I highly recommend a visit.
Oh - and have a bite for me, too.

Okay - enough reminiscing!

Let's get down to the present.

Monica sent friends and family
Easter cards again this year.

Kathleen's aunts

received these cards.
I love the bunnies in this image,
I had to create another card presenting them.

And last but not least,

sweet Vicki is remembered again this year.

Yesterday was Easter

Here's hoping your day was filled with all things love.

Now go eat all those chocolate bunnies!

Easter Greetings

What's your preference?

Peeps, malted eggs, chocolate bunnies or jelly beans?

My favorite is was the malted eggs.
Oh my - I could devour a whole bag!

Enough candy-talk.

Let's get down to the cards.

This one just has to be my favorite.

Just something about that sweet, sweet face.

To me, a lily that says "Easter" like none other.

I love creating different cards with one image.

The end result is so completely different.

Tell me which card is your favorite of these two.

bunny

loves

U

What a precious little chickie wearing that crown.

Vintage images that make me smile.

And remember.

A bunny and a lily.

Perfect to celebrate the Easter Joys.

This card reminds me of a seed packet.

Bunnies do love to eat the flowers, don't they?

Guess it's their idea of an Easter treat.

Easter joy!

Happy Easter!

A Happy Easter

The face?  Irresistible.

I hope your day was exactly how you wanted it to be.
Now go eat a chocolate bunny!

Happy Easter

Enjoy the freshness of Spring.

Enjoy eating the chocolate bunnies.

Enjoy eating the jelly beans.

Enjoy each other.



April, May and June

As promised, I am back with a few of my favorites.  Easter arrived in April this year and I just couldn't choose my favorite, so you'll get to see two:

 

May, in my mind, means Mother's Day.  Creating cards for this holiday is bittersweet for me, but I am happy that my cards put a smile some faces.

 

Isn't it amazing how different two cards can look when they have the same background, but different embellishments?  I couldn't choose between the two as "favorites" so you'll see both of them.

 

Even though Mother's Day cards are difficult (mentally) for me to make, they're probably my favorite.  That statement probably doesn't make much sense - what I mean is that I can pull out all the bells and whistles.  By the way: "bells and whistles" translated means lace, flowers, glitter, bling, tulle and all things girlie. 

 

This one is probably the most simple card I have ever created - yet, look at all there is to it.  Perfect for a teenager's birthday.

 

June = Father's Day.  Here's one for a fisherman.  We all know that rulers (or in this case, a tape measurer) is need to tell the 100% true story.

 

And, of course, a girlie one, which I really enjoyed creating.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow to see what I'm going to share with you: July, August and September.
