Burst of Colors

Hello Everyone! It's the Easter week already. Do you have some egg coloring time on your schedules this week? I certainly do :-) I love coloring eggs and there are so many other traditions. So that means I usually color my eggs on Thursday which in Germany is called 'Gruendonnerstag' (lit.: Green Thursday) and if I'm not mistaken it translates as Maundy Thursday (please correct me if I'm wrong). It's also tradition in our family to have some green food on this Thursday like spinach etc. Then on Good Friday fish is on the menu (most likely salmon or tuna steaks for us) and I love to bake some traditional (and also try new recipes) cakes for the Easter weekend. Easter Sunday we like to celebrate with an ample Easter Brunch. Well and I think my card I have for you today fits quite well for the theme Easter: This beautiful cross is from a Heartfelt Creations stamp set (HCPC3450) and available from Dutch Paper Crafts HERE . As is the sentiment! Darlen

Hello & Happy Thursday! Wow I can't believe we are just one more week away from Easter. It feels like I just put down all my Christmas stuff....jeeez. Even though if I have my house decorated for Easter for already 4 weeks now ;-) Weather wise Spring is my favorite season of the year., at least here in Florida. The temperatures are just right, nice and warm but not that hot and humid that you have to turn on the AC. I love having  my windows open in the whole house all day long.  The card I have for you today is also showing some springtime feelings. It's the little 'Dandelion Girl' from Whimsy's Wee stamp collection. This card was also published in Whimsy Inspirational Magazine Issue 7. The cutie was colored using Copics and Prismas. DP is from Echo Park's 'Country Drive' collection. Sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Design and available HERE . The 'Country Heart' die and the corner die are from Whimsy's Shapeology collecti

Happy Saturday Everyone! Hope you all are enjoying your weekend! Today's card was published in Whimsy's newest Inspirational Magazine HERE . A guy card for a change ;-) The image is from Whimsy's Kenny K collection called Ryder Cole. Sentiment is from the Celebration Mini Tickets by Raindrop Echo Designs also available at Whimsy stamps. I colored this dude with Copics and  DP is from Basic Grey's Oliver collection. I kept the card pretty simple. Just a few metal embellies, 2 buttons and 2 brads.  Here are two more photos: Thanks for visiting me today and any comments you may leave are very appreciated and make my day very special! Luv 'n hugs Iris
