April Cards

This was the view at my house on Monday, April 28th! Unbelievable....well not really....I do live in Wisconsin! Enough with the snow! Every time we try to pump all the water off the top of the pool cover - it snows or rains again!




























I LOVE the new Tart & Tangy stamp set in the Occasions Mini Catalog - it's too fun! I came up with this card - and it was a big hit for my April classes!


















































We also tried out hands at the Shaving Cream technique - it's a ton of fun too!































Who can resist Sassy Suzie - everytime I read one of the word stamps in that set - it brings a smile to my face!




















Thanks for looking!

P.S. If there are a ton of spaces between these cards - I apologize! I have tried and tried to get rid of those darn spaces!!! It looks like they are gone on my screen and then when I go to "preview" this posting - it inserts a bunch of spaces again! If anyone knows how to make this stop - let me know.....

Rose Cottage Scrappin Kit

Here's another bridal shower gift made with the Rose Cottage Simply Scrappin' Kit! My wonderful step-daughter - Stephanie, got all the bridesmaids together for an upcoming bridal shower and they each made a double page layout for the bride! What a keepsake!



Most of these ladies had never scrapbooked! That's why our Simply Scrappin' Kits are sooooooooo fabulous!



The pages that say "mom" on them were actually done by a little girl....all by herself!
