Easter 2017

Hello crafty friends,

Here's a recap of my Easter 2017 cards.  I did a ton of coloring, but end up not making as many cards as I wanted.

Sands of Time

Hello crafty friends,

Scrapy Land's Challenge #63 has a theme of  "Anything Goes using SL brand dies", so I thought it was a good time to use a die I recently picked up.  Here's my card for the Challenge:

After having this die set in my wishlist for a few weeks, I finally got it and I'm so glad.  The flowers are lovely and the perfect size.   Here's an image of the die set, called Stitched Daisy Pair by Frantic Stamper:
