Make It Crafty Blog Hop ~ Easter Spring Creations

Welcome to the •MAKE•IT•Crafty• Seasonal Blog Hop!

  This month we will be featuring Easter Spring Creations.

   If you've arrive from Lisa's Blog Pretty Paperie Sweets, you are on the right path!

 The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around.

  If you get lost, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here

   This month we have a number of Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using various CTMH products to help you get in a mood for Easter & Spring.  

Got a good start on my Easter cards
The first card is made using Confetti Wishes Paper and Crystal Blue cardstock.  The edges have been distressed using the edge distress tool.
The stamp set used is a retired set called Eastertime ~ It is one of my all time favorites!  
 LOVE!  
The word Easter time was stamped in 3 colors of ink, applied with a sponge dauber ~ Crystal Blue, Honey & Gypsy. The eggs were stamped using the same colors.

This next card is created with another favorite retired stamp set 'Sensational Season' 
The bunny is colored using ShinHan Touch Twin Markers.

I used 2 different color card stocks for the background, Cotton Candy and Canary.  The lace trim is from my stash.
The bow on the bottom is black striped twill.

Note: The set in the Seasonal Expressions called Hopping by has some really cute stamps that will make a great card!

 I hope you enjoyed all the lovely artwork… 

Now it’s time to head on over to Dominique's Blog at Fun2Cre8  and see her artwork!

Family & Friends is the theme I have used for this hop

I have created a couple of 2 page layouts 

 First Layout is of Family 
using Hopscotch Workshop on the Go

~ My Mom & Dad enjoying Ice Cream ~

This next 2 page layout is of my Husband Mike 

using Chalk It Up Paper & Compliments

He is Funny & a lot of FUN

Page one of the 2 page layout...

~ Some of the funny outfits he wears ~ 

The is page 2 using Flip Flaps ~ Here you see the underlying page before the page protector was added

Funtimes

Here is the same page inside a page protector with a FLIP FLAP ~ notice the picture at the bottom left has changed?

 Now with the flip flap flipped up to reveal the photo below...

Next we have some more Family Fun. 

We were a family of Winter Fun Lovers... Snowmobiling was an activity we all enjoyed ( it is too cold for me now)

So here is a blast from the past!

The background stamping was created with second generation stamping using an expired stamp set from Pear & Partridge WOTG , as is the words Family ~ Live in the Moment was also from an expired WOTG.  Fast & Furious is from a current stampset of the same name, Fast & Furious.

And Lastly a card for a Friend

Using a Hostess reward stamp set Better with a Friend
