This card was made for Amanda's Easter basket. I just thought the idea was too funny and knew I could recreate this in a card. The funny thing was, Amanda used the very same concept in her good morning message on Easter, before she opened her basket! Great minds think alike and I just loved being Amanda's partner!

Sympathy Card

My wonderful assistant Kathy recently lost her beloved aunt. This sympathy card is for her. I used alcohol inks and some cool mirrored paper that I found in Kansas City at a little stamp store. The butterflies are Cuttlebug.

I recently participated in an Easter Basket Swap on the Cricut MB, Night Owl thread. My partner, Amanda is just the sweetest gal! I made these cuts for her to include in her basket. Several of them I tried to personalize the best I could. Amanda I hope you enjoy them! I had a blast making them for you!

Amanda's Altered ATG and Holder

This ATG gun was done for a dear friend and board member, Amanda. The majority of the cuts are from Stretch your imagination from 1 1/2 inches to 3 inches. I used Doodlebug velvet paper for her name, the light green areas of the turtle and seaweed. Bazzill Bling for the seashells and clams. The starfish and sand castles are coated in Dazzling Diamonds. Skittles were used for the bubble. Crystal Effects were used to give the seahorses some shine. Dimension was added with watercolored pencils and inked edges. Glass beads were used for 'sand' and are attached with Crystal Effects. I had a blast with this project! Thanks for looking!
