Wishing for Spring

Woke up this morning to a little snow in the front yard. This was actually the most snow we have had all winter. The problem is that it is the second day of Spring. At this point, I am wishing for warmer weather to stick around. My desire for Spring really inspired me to make some cards for Easter.

I have stayed away from my Cricut these days. Not because I don't love my Cricut, but because I have oodles of stickers. I have been trying to break my habit of purchasing stuff if I don't have a plan for it. The easiest way to do this is to stay away from craft stores.

I created these simple cards by cutting 1x1 inch patterned paper and matting on 1.5x1.5 inch textured card stock. I spaced 6 evenly on the card background and used one of the larger squares to mount a sticker in the center.

This was a quick and easy way to create cards and use some of those stickers.

Here's wishing for Spring!

Spring Cleaning

Spring Break has been really low key this year. There has been no where to go and no real schedule which has been quite enjoyable. I did take some time to do some spring cleaning of my scrap room. These cards are all made using scraps from the scrap drawer and the abundance of stickers I own. Didn't use my Cricut at all for any of these cards. 

The stickers are all from the same set, and I had some great paper to compliment them.

Absolutely love these. Had some great matching paper and they are all color coordinated. It was as if I purchased the paper and stickers at the same time (I am never that organized, btw). The first is a birthday card for someone, and I think I will bundle the others as a gift. 

I make very few cards for men, so this one is super simple. The sentiment is created with Scrabble sticker block letters. 

This card is for my mom who is a huge bird lover. She lost one of her birds two weeks ago, and her other bird is having some health issues. Both birds were/are over 15 years old, so they are very much part of the family. 

Back to work tomorrow, but I am hoping to carve out lots of card-making time over the next couple of weeks as it is National Card and Letter Writing Month!
