A Bit East-coast

.[dollar stamps Easter tag garland].

 .[Easter garland].

My first Easter project-using Michael's dollar bin stamps(the bunny with the bow, the chick, sheep, and the egg)! I love these stamps, they were just what I wanted-more realistic and vintage. I wished they had more choices & sentiments that I liked just as much as these. The one bunny with the egg tag-that bunny stamp wasn't from the dollar bin. I can't to use them for cards!

Loving your cards. Especially your embossing. How do you get your embossing so crisp?

These are so pretty! Do you send these cards through the mail, and if so, how do you protect all the gorgeous embellishments? I'm still hoping you'll do a video tutorial on your embossing. I'd love to see how you get it so crisp too. :)

Heaven, I am not sure if I have sent any cards through the mail...most go attached to gifts w/o envelopes!! And my Big Shot did all the embossing work this time-no more hand cramps doing it the hard way!!

This is something that I made two weeks ago. Very simple and sweet heart garland. I have one or two more in the works-if I can finish them! I had/have so many ideas in my head and even some that are just unfinished on my table, argh. There is just never enough time for everything!

.[potted hearts].

This year I wanted to make all of my Valentine decorations-and I did! These potted hearts I did last weekend-the larger hearts were meant to be a album...I had to find ways to cover the ring holes in them. They also came covered with canvas. I have been trying to use the red/pink ribbon for over a year-it's from a Loft shopping bag...and I have more!

.[new bow].

I made a pretty pink bow-tie for Lulu. I had to snap a photo of her wearing it, she is so chic. The next photo cracks me up-she LOVES peanut butter. Her tongue looks fake-but it's not...

 I have had some mini chipboard hearts waiting for me to do something with them. So I glittered them, strung them vertically, and then added a few punched & stamped hearts!
