Treats, Tags and Peekers....

   Believe it or not, it's rainy and cool here again and what's worse is that some areas, out west, actually had some snow this morning!!  Yuk!  I guess when you think about it, I'll take the rain any day over snow, especially in late April.   On the upside, the long term weather sounds like we may finally get some nice Spring weather coming in next week.....!   Woohoo  -- Wish me luck as we need some SUN!!

    Today, I'm moving kind of slow, I tend to hurt more when it's damp and cold.   Even so, I'm not feeling too bad and very happy I can create.   I started this morning by packing up some Easter Treat bags for my family and I made some cute little tags for my bags with one of the adorable Clementine Bunnies, from StampFairy.  For these tags, I used to color techniques - Paper Piecing and Copic Coloring.  Here is a picture of my favorite one, which done in Pink and is for Alex's girlfriend, Acacia.   It's nice to have a girl around the house and fun to actually be able to use pink and purple! 

 
  My second image shows three of the bags I have completed.  The pink is in the middle and the two blue bunnies were created for Brian and Alex's bags.  Hubby has a green bunny, and his is hiding behind.

   I am submitted these little tags to the follow challenges and encourage you to join in on the fun!

• StampFairy Challenge - Challenge # 19 - For the Girls
• SSC - Copic Coloring Challenge - Spring Themed  (2) or more cards/place cards
• Elephantastic Challenges - # 25 Anything but a Square or Rectangle
• Two Sisters Challenge Blog - # 36 - Inspirational Image (Bunny) 

      I also have one new card to share today and this one was created for the new CAS Challenge that was posted today over at 'The Outlawz'.   With tomorrow being Easter Sunday, the Girlz posted the challenge early for anyone to get a head start.  This week it's a Sketch based challenge and this is a copy of the sketch I copied over from TOL.

 My Card

   My card was very fun and easy to create, but did not turn out nearly like I had hoped.   I am posting it and also posting it at The Outlawz, but I'm asking for your HELP?  What can I do or change to make this better?  I have lots of the same paper (Cottage Wall) from SU, which is one of my favorites, so I can easily do something again.  I do have to stick to the sketch, but I'm curious to see what you would do!!   I appreciate any help/hints!!   

   In the meantime, I received a wonderful package in the mail today!  It was an order I had placed at SCACD - Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and now I am the proud new owner of some of the hottest new Exclusive Stamps from her store.  I have three of the adorable "Peekers" and can't wait to color them up.  I was so excited when my package arrived and that will be my next project.   If you have not had a chance to see these adorable stamps, I am enclosed a little sneak peek image.  You can also find the entire collection created by Elisabeth Bell, long with some wonderful inspiration form the DT at the store HERE or over on the DT Blog HERE!

 
   Aren't they cute.....?   As I said, they are super popular and every time I see a card created with one, I just smile.  I am a big fan of SCACD and also have enjoyed taking part in the brand new challenges at the SCACD Friends with Heart Challenge Blog.   I have slowly been adding to my collection of Susana's exclusive stamps so that I play in every challenge!    I also love to shop with Susana, she's awesome and she carries the best goodies and also is the faster shipper, I know.  Not to mention, who doesn't love the sweet little thank you she includes with every order.   I know I sure do and it's always a joy to find that extra wonderful surprise!    I highly recommend you visit her store and also the blogs!  I think you'll be very happy and I know you'll love these little Peekers for sure!
