Ear to Ear.....FMS627

 




So am I the only one who thinks up a story when creating a scene card like this one?!?  In my mind that Easter Bunny is hoping the sweet gardener hands over a carrot or two for his lunch - in exchange for a flower or an egg of course!

This card is headed to my cousin who has invited us over for Easter Brunch. My favorite invitation of the year - always a fun event and a great kick off to spring!








Karren has a wide open sketch for us today at Freshly Made Sketches!  Have fun with it!

Oh, For Peeps Sake! FMS626


 

Can't you just hear that Momma Bunny telling that little guy to stop fooling around in the egg and come out and help her?  She has a lot of eggs to decorate in the next few weeks!

The inspiration for this card came from a picture taken in a photo booth at the Children's Museum in Rochester last week.  We tried to explain to Will what was going to happen when he and Emma climbed in. I dropped the money in - or I should say put my credit card in because those photo strips are no longer a quarter nor do they take cash - $5.00 - yeow!  Anyway I closed the curtain - Emma barked orders - and the lights flashed.  And out of the strip of four pictures, this one is my favorite....




I would say we got five dollars worth of laughs of that shot!


So enjoy yourself and have fun with Cecile's unique sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Thinking of You - TTTC242

 



For someone who doesn't stencil much I sure do have a lot of stencils. So one of my stamping resolutions for this year is to use those stencils!  The Fancy Floral from Gina K is simple, sweet and just perfect for this week's Tic Tac Toe Board.  

Meanwhile an update on the Mush-Room!  Will finally got to see his new room yesterday and was so excited - and he was even more excited when Auntie and Cousin Emma jumped out of the closet - lots of shrieking! 




I went right across the top row of our Tic Tac Toe Challenge today!  Lots of possibilities - hope you join us!

Let's Eat Cake...FMS625

 



That bunny looks like he has already had a few cupcakes - I can relate! But he is a cutie and the perfect messenger on a birthday card!  I start every year with a vow that I will keep up with birthdays and send cards and in January I did pretty well.  In February I managed to keep up but I wrote most of them on the actual birthday so those cards were a tad late. Have to admit I rarely just sign my name - I always have a few things to say! We are only talking about four cards a month but I can only imagine what will happen in March......



I love the elements in Jen Brum's sketch this week!  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!
