"Magical Monday" Eggs-traordinary Find

For this weeks challenge, Sue wants us to use the image "Eggs-traordinary Find" and incorporate it with a paper or altered Easter Basket. This is a card that I made for one of my granddaughters, so I know I am not eligiable for this weeks contest unless I make a basket. Need to learn how to make one with one of the sites Nina gave us on her blog. Also how to take a picture and put it on the computer. I am learning so many new things, I am wondering how my little pea brain can remember so many things! You can find this here.

Magical Monday Hello Cupcake

Olga's challenge is to use 1 Paper Cupcake image 2 ribbons 3 buttons. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the fancy cut. Had the green flower ribbon in my stash and also the butterfly buttons at the top. I once again relied on my fancy cutting scissors to cut around the card itself. No mess ups this time. Guess the mess up fairy took a day off. You can find this here.

"Magical Monday"

This weeks challenge by Kim is to use "Bunny Cupcake" image and make any "non-traditional" style card (e.g., free standing pop up, joy fold, tri-shutter, etc). The front of the card has a little more on it than planned. Went to Ninas where I made the inside of the card and I finished up at home. When I put Easter Greetings on it, I failed to notice that the three bunnies were upside down. Had to put polka dot paper over to cover up mistake. Then, I proceeded to stamp the greeting upside down. Had to correct that. I think it is a little bit busy, but the inside turned out nice. Anyway.....Happy Easter. You can find this here.

"Magical Monday" Decorative Egg

Patty challenged us to use her sketch and to use any of Nina's digital stamps. I decided to use one of Nina's "New Arrivals" from her Paper Cupcakes called Decorative Egg. I think it's just beautiful, and I'm not just saying that because she is my daughter. She knows I love lavender and that is the color of my card, again. I used colored pencil for the egg (it did not turn out as good as I wanted) and Bic Mark-Its for the rest. I used my cuddlebug and my fancy scissors. You can find this here.
