BunnyDuck????!!!!

 Afternoon everyone! It's Friday!! I hope you are all ready for the weekend. My son is on spring break so it's like every day is the weekend...we get to sleep in!!!! And then...the fighting begins!! My kids are at each other all day and I have no idea what I'm going to do with them once he is out for the summer...I keep telling my husband...WE NEED A POOL!!!!

Anyway...it's been a while since I have posted..things have just been getting in the way but really important things so it's not like I can whine that I haven't been able to craft...my mind has just been on my BFF who's baby was just born a preemie with heart problems and just had surgery and is trying to survive the next 3 days and so...I have been lost a bit especially since she is in Pa. and I'm here in Nc.

But today I have for you bunnyduck...he's a bit confused as to what he is I think...lol...this was my day to post over at Great Impressions and this is the images I used. Did you know that Great Impressions is doing challenges now? They are monthly so you have plenty of time to play along...the current challenge ends on Saturday but a new one will start on Sunday so be sure to join us!!

Fanci Peacock

Hello everyone! It's Friday!!! It's feeling like Saturday here because Jodus is off of school for a teachers work day. It's nice and sunny and in the 70's...I am so ready for full force spring here....MINUS the dang pollen there is yellow everywhere...our cars look horrible!

Today is my day to post over at Great Impressions and today I am working with Fanci Peacock which you can find HERE along with the rest of the GI images!
I thought I was going to love coloring this one in but then decided to heat emboss it and add stickles for sparkle...you know everything has to sparkle!!
I have been asked how I made the flower for the other card I did so I used the other one that I made at the same time and wanted to give you the link to the girl who actually did a tutorial for them that I followed:

Great Impressions Blog Hop!

Welcome welcome to the very first Great Impressions blog hop! I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful company of stamps and have a great DT!!! Our hop this weekend is a combined hop. We are hopping along with the girls from Creative Inspirations paints! If you have not tried their paints...now is the time to do so....they are soooo pretty and shimmery and lovely! You will see in all of our posts not only Great Impressions stamps but also Creative Inspirations paints on our projects!

You have from Friday March 9th 8:00am EST until Sunday March 11th 8:00pm EST to complete the hop. And then you will be entered into the drawing for the prize package which you don't want to miss out on!!!

Here is what I came up with for my project to share:

Wow...I really am loving the CI paints but I really need a lot of work on how to use them. I used them to stamp my image and then also painted my flowers! But I can see now why people that use mixed mediums love them so much because they are beautiful, dry quickly, and are very smooth!

Okay....so I guess you would like your letter huh?! Well...I actually got lucky and get to give you (2) letters so I have for you are A and T

So if you came here from

Angi's blog: Making Mayhem

then you are right on track and you will now head over to

Dawn's blog: Dawn's Craft Place & More

but....if you just started here with me you need to go back to the beginning which is here

Creative Inspirations Paints Blog 

and start there remebering to grab the letters at each stop, leaving each girl some love and then leaving some love along with your word/words on the last blog of the hop!

Enjoy!!

Great Impressions~Bunny in egg balloon

Good morning everyone! How are you? I got my hair cut this week. I finally feel almost normal again! Got it cut and colored and had a little bit of girl time which I don't get very often. It's short and it requires me to actually "do" it which is fine because I hate that I always just throw it up in a pony tail and it just looks and feels so much healthier.

Today is my day over at Great Impressions to post and this is the card I posted! Here is a link to the store and here is a link to the blog where you can find the rest of the DT's work from this week and other weeks as well!
Great Impressions is going to be starting a monthly challenge and we would love for all of you to join us so please make sure you check in on Sunday, the 4th for the new challenge, all the rules and prizes!!

Super easy card today...some paper piecing on the balloon, some MS border punching, coloring and flowers! Oh...how bout' those yellow flowers...I went a little too crazy on the stickles...yikes!!!

Great Impressions~Get Well

Happy Saturday everyone! Yesterday was my day to post over at the Great Impressions blog. We have little challenges going on with the DT and the challenge was sentiment only. I thought this was going to be hard for me but I found a sentiment from GI ~Get Well Prayer that is pretty big so I didn't have to worry about how I was going to take up the rest of the space left on the card.
Great Impressions is having a 10% off sale right now if you use the code GIB212. This will end at the end of the month so hurry over and do some shopping while you can get a fabulous discount!
Also be sure to go by the blog so you can check out all the other DT creations from this past week!

I used the cricut for this card and got really lucky with the sizing being pretty perfect to fit the sentiment and the card size!
It wouldn't be me without some glitter so I used my stickles on some of the leaves on the DP. I "think" this DP is from DCWV but I can't be sure because this is from my scrap pile. I have been doing reallllly good with going through my scraps before getting new paper out so I can use up some of my huge pile!

I used Winter Fashion Marlee and decided to cut her out. I'm not great at cutting but I couldn't resist with this image...it just seemed "right". I then popped her up a bit with some pop dots. Not too much else too it. Nice and simple!
