So, if you arrived from the wonderful and super duper talented Grace's Blog you are in the right place, if not, make sure you'll head on back over to the ODBD Blog to find the entire list of participants.

I have chosen to use the "Pincushion Tag Set" and this is what I came up with.  This is a pretty CAS card for me what do you think?

Recipe:

Paper:  PTI White, PTI Lavender Moon, Basic Grey June Bug

Stamps: ODBD Pincushion Tag Set

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Tattered Rose

Accessories: ODBD Custom Tag Die, Wilton paper doily, scissors and pincushion charms, heart pins, white cotton lace, mauve lace, hand dyed seam binding

Size: 5.5"x5.5"

Well, this is it for me for today. Now I will send you off to Lori's amazing blog.

Thanks so much for stopping and have a blessed and super creative day!

Hugs,

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Hello and happy Tuesday stamping friends! Hope you all had a fabulous Easter celebration! I have a  quick post for you today. I made a Dog Sympathy card the other day with one of the newly released stamps over at Our Daily Bread Designs called "Dog Sympathy".

Recipe:

Paper: PTI Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate, My Minds Eye Portobello Road

Stamps: ODBD Dog Sympathy

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Vintage Photo

Accessories: Spellbinders Labels 18, Petite Ovals Large, Lacey Ovals, cotton crochet lace, half pearl trim, turquoise seam binding, silver paw charm, foam dimensional

Size: 5.5" x 5.5"

What do you think? I left the sentiment off here, so I can use it either as a "just because" card for one of my dog lover friends or if I need a sympathy card for someone that lost a dog, I can just add it on the inside.

If you have not yet seen the April release over at Our Daily Bread Designs you should check it out!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs and blessings,

I wish you and your family a blessed and relaxing Easter weekend!  My girls are in a Easter play at church and my 6 y.o. has a little speech and part of it goes like this

Easter is really for Jesus
who died and then rose from the dead.
We must always remember the love Jesus showed
and all of the things that He said.

So, remember this Easter when you go to church,
and this message you tell everyone.
That Easter is ALL about JESUS
and the bunny and treats are just fun!

Let's celebrate the real reason for Easter!!

Hugs and blessings,

Back by popular demand!!!
