Card Crafting!

Hi my bloggie Friends! I have it seems today a lot to accomplish and not enough time to accomplish it within!
I am sure you know this feeling.
I tend to get anxious on Thursdays since my day off is usually Friday, so I start adding up in my mind all the things I want to craft, clean, buy, reorganize and do and it starts the train rolling to Friday!
I have a couple little Easter goodies to send two of my sisters and I wanted to include handmade Easter cards, so I at least was able to accomplish making one NO TWO cards (now) today and I thought I'd share it with you!
I used an existing card that was blank, cut out the egg shape
backed it with paper and used a dimensional Easter image
I found the gorgeous trim at JoAnn Fabrics for $3.99 a yard
and I had a 40% off coupon!
I was quite pleased with the look and I think it is something
she'll love to receive!
This card was made in similar fashion
just using my now favorite fur trims!
I also simplified the insides using scrapbook paper templates and stickers
to send my Easter Greetings!
It's most of the time these days around here now
about what I can make that I can actually FINISH
instead of my adding to my to-do list!

  5. Susie, I had fun doing that EZine cake but, throwing the first one away & then doing 2 more... I'm tired of them sitting around drying all over the place & am glad the swap is in the mail. Did you do the swap too? I see you live in Dallas. I live near Ft Worth. Have a great week. Charlene
