Early Easter Greetings

With Easter right around the corner, this set is ideal for creating beautiful greetings for family and friends!  The images and sentiment are from the Easter Blossoms set from the Occasions mini catalog.  The Wild Wasabi background was embossed using the Big Shot Perfect Polka Dots folder.  The floral patterned strip of Melon Mambo DSP comes from the Ice Cream Parlor DSP pack that's available for FREE as a Sale-a-Bration selection through March 31st. 

Sending Springtime Smiles

The image and outside sentiment featured on this card are from the Easter Blossoms set in the Occasions mini catalog.  The Easter Wishes stamped inside comes from the Hostess level 2 set Something to Celebrate, also in the Occasions mini catalog.  It doesn't show well in the photo, but the flower blossoms were highlighted with the white uni-ball Signo gel pen.  

Petal Cone Basket

Well, it's nice to be missed!  We got word that some of you wondered what was going on with us since we haven't posted lately, but have no fear, we've just been living life (you know how that can go sometimes).  Actually, we had the pleasure of hosting our best friends, Kevin and Patty, from Nebraska for the last four days!  We had a wonderful time and even got some stamping time in (it's never enough, though!).  Anyway, this petal cone basket was made using the video tutorial from Angie Kennedy Juda over at Chic'n Scratch  Our basket was made using the Nursery Suite Specialty DSP and the "sending Springtime smiles" greeting from the Easter Blossoms set in the Occasions mini catalog.  The 2 1/2" circle and 2 3/8" scallop were used for the elements on each side of the basket.
