Hoppy Thoughts

I hope you had a good weekend! Seems like we've been running around all morning. First to the doctor, then for labs, groceries, a snack, to the post office and finally home! When I'm not running around I'm making! It's my way to relax and recharge!
Today I'm playing along at Festive Friday where they've got an Easter Challenge going. You have to select three words from the list that are on your design! I'm going with Aperture (because my design has lots of windows, Rabbits and Easter Eggs!
The Postage Collage series from Waffle Flower is really popular. You can ink up the Postage Collage Stamps or frame the same size scenes with the Postage Collage Blocks like I did here. There's even a set of frames!

I added scraps of colorful paper behind each of the window openings and then added die cut Postage Collage Bunny Silhouettes. The die set includes the bunnies, eggs, and even the grass! The sentiment was easy peasy because it's preprinted die cut Subsentiment word strips.
I hope you find some time to make today. And if you want to go shopping I hope you'll click my affiliate link here. You'll even get a 10% discount on your first purchase using my link if you do!

My Creative Scrapbook March 2026 Main Kit Reveal



Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern papers and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!


This time I'm playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from Echo Park "In Full Bloom" Collection. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, a stencil and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!
The theme this time is SPRING! The papers are soft pastels with images of flowers, umbrellas, suns, butterflies and more.
I love making a scene card! Just a few wavy cuts with your scissors make green grassy hills against a pattern paper blue sky. I used a punch to cut a few cloud shapes from pattern paper and then went to work embellishing.

This kit has tags, frames and 3x4" journaling cards that are perfect for creating focal points. You'll also find LOTS and LOTS of sentiments including die cuts, chipboard and sticker sentiments.
I love all the sweet little birds because finding migratory birds returning is my favorite part of spring.
Everything you see on my cards is included in the kit EXCEPT for the white cardstock card bases, solid cardstock cover matts, adhesives and gems. Things that you already probably have in your stash right now.
You'll have fun making cards or documenting memories with this kit. No matter what your style too. I love to make scene cards, but collage, mixed media, clean and simple, layered..... whatever your style you make this kit yours!
I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

Christmas Wishes

Pretty Little Studio's latest collection called #CandyCane is ready for the making! And any time I get a holiday card made is a win! I love the bright colors that remind me of colorful Christmas lights and the fun loose drawn images in the collection that add a bit of whimsy.
Today I thought I'd make a monochrome design starting with green plaid paper topped with stacked frames to create a focal point. I added a die cut dotted green scallop border along the bottom edge of the frames.

Next I added some pretty florals. The larger arrangement is adhered flat to the panel while the big white flower is added with adhesive foam tape. This adds some dimension and more interest to the design.
A simple die cut sentiment and a sprinkle of gems finish the design. I think every holiday card should have at least a tiny bit of bling to make it more magical!
I hope you check out the new collection and feel inspired to get a few holiday cards of your own done. When December rolls around you'll sure be glad you did!  I'm linking to Christmas Crafts All Year Round where E is for Evergreen!
