I wanted to share a few goodies with you.  I made two of these easter cards for the boys… super easy, I cut two pieces of American Crafts Bunny cardstock, folded them in half and added kaiser crafts black pearls for the eyes.  I printed Happy Easter on white cardstock using PSE6 and used my stampin’ up! oval punch to punch it out. I layered over a Stampin’ Up! scalloped oval punched shape.  Foam mounting squares and the cards were done!

This month’s Concroption DT ATC swap was themed Pet Peeves.  I joked with the ladies that I’d have a hard time narrowing it down because there were so many, or I’d have to do a series to cover them all!  I really and truly believe that it is those things that bother you about yourself that bother you most in others.  You remember the old addage of it takes one to know one?  Well the one I chose to document was tardiness. I absolutely hate being late. I think it’s completely rude to be late. I hate when I’m late and I hate when others are late.  I imagined myself seething and steam blowing out of my ears.  I drew a picture and actually liked it. but when I tried to duplicate it (i had 9 to do for the swap) I was not thrilled with the result.  I ended up scanning #1 and using the wacom and PSE6 to create a digital replication.  I printed out the outlines and colored each one with my copics, LOVE those pens.  I am pretty happy with the way they turned out :) and I can’t wait to see what my teammates have done for their peeves!

the dot brushes and curved frame are from Karla Dudley’s Spring 09 Extras kit, check it out.

The last little whipped up project this afternoon was an Earth Day inspired notebook.  Now I have made recycled minibooks in the past, but previously I covered the recycled parts with paint.  I kept this one as is and I knew my boys would love it.  It’s from the thin mints box!  i just trimmed the front and back panels, trimmed up some manila paper a scant smaller and rounded corners with my paper gator, bound with my binditall and 5/8″ wires. :)

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll blog you later!
Joscie, rhymes with bossy!
