Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  These are my Easter baskets for this year- without candy! They are fun to  make 

and so easy!  Check out Kitty's video on how to make these adorable baskets.  There are many tutorials on Pinterest - here is just one-

The flowered basket is for our youngest Grandson.  I didn't think he would mind a flower on his basket.  He basically eats the candy and runs.  I love decorating these adorable baskets. 

I like the nautical basket for my Grandson that lives on the island.  

Here's our youngest Grandson below.  We came back from Florida the first of April to snow on the ground.  Enough so that we could build a snowman with him!!  It was all gone the next day.

Boy, did I miss that great Florida weather!

Hope everyone has a fabulous Easter!  It was great seeing the family today!  Have a great week!

Home again!

  I haven't posted in a while since we have been traveling in order to get back to Maine!  We did spend 2 days at Disney before we headed home.  We had to get our Disney fix since we won't be going back for awhile.   

The pictures above are of a project for the Craft Fair my sister's and I are doing the end of April in Westbrook.  It's a Spring/Mother's Day Craft Fair in Westbrook.  It will be the first time we have done this fair so we are hoping it will be well attended!  I used Spellbinder's/ Becca Feeken's die for this cute pocketbook.  Becca has directions for it on her blog. 

Here is a couple more Mother's Day cards.  These were also made with Spellbinder's / Becca Feeken's dies.  She has beautiful dies that are so pretty!

I also wanted to show you some cute gift boxes we are making for the fair. They are really fun to make and decorate.   I found the instructions on Pinterest.   You can find Carol's easy instructions here-

Carol has some adorable boxes that she decorated so cute!  You will have to check those out!

I used Stampin Up's butterfly die for this gift house.

I believe the Gnomes are from My Favorite Things but don't hold me to that....

Here are a few pictures of our set up for the fair.  We like to do a run through before we actually set up.   I think it will be fun to see what sells and what doesn't.  We meet so many nice people when we do the fairs.  It is half of the fun!

The picture below shows some Mother's Day cards. 

I love the Pocket Books that can be used for anything!

The Luminaries are on the top shelf- below that are some of our Gift boxes that are houses. 

Here is the rack with Father's Day cards. 

We are still working on our display of Samplers. Sorry the picture is so blurry.  

I thought I would end this post of a picture of hubby and I at the Flower & Garden show at Epcot.  I will show some beautiful flower pics in my next post.  It is good to be home...even though we still had snow in our front and back yard!

Atlanta Braves Spring Training Arena

We had a fantastic day on Saturday at the Grand Opening of the Atlanta Braves Spring Training Camp facility in Northport!  They opened the arena for the day with no charge so that people to tour the grounds.  What a fun time we had!  

You can see below they had Veterans from the area bring pieces of the American Flag and put it together right on the field.  It was fun to  watch it coming together.  What a job!

You can walk 360 degrees all around the park.  There are a ton of places to eat too!  The food was reasonably priced and delicious!

The view of the grounds was fabulous too!

I don't think there is a bad seat in the place. 

I love looking out over the  field.  We will be going back next year when they have some games!

Here are a few pictures of a card  I have been working on...

It's sort of a shadow box card.  The butterfly is from Stampin Up.

It still folds to go into an envelope. 

Our time in Florida is coming to an end.  Can't wait to get back to my Craft Room!  I will miss all the warm weather here for sure!   Talk soon!

Game of Thrones Birthday Card

I recently purchased My Favorite Things Castle Die!  I love making birthday cards that look like a castle - now with these dies it will be so much easier.  This card was inspired by the TV show Game of Thrones.  See all the dragons- I think they are more like pets.....

The Dragons are from My Favorite Things too!  I used some bling on the castle too!  What's a castle without bling?

The sun is from Mosaic Moments.  

I know I am sending it to my niece's daughter who is turning 7 in March.  Hope she like this card!  It was certainly fun to make.!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I wanted to show you several of the projects I have been working on since my last post.  The cards above are going to our Grandsons for Valentine's Day.  I don't have a printer here in Florida so we hand wrote the saying on the inside.  The panda bear is from Marianne Designs.  I love this cute bear!

This card is just one I wanted to try since it's a new technique for me.  My sister, Connie, was here for a visit and she showed me how to make it.   Love that you can add your sentiment to the back or to either side.  I am not sure how I am going to decorate it but wanted to show you this adorable card.  It's call a Double Slider Card.  The tutorial is from Mixed up Crafts and so easy to follow-

This card will stand up too since it is made as a tent card.  You will love it!  

The card below was for a friend who had a birthday recently.  She is in her 90's!  I thought she would like to see some flowers since it is going to be a long winter!  It is fashioned like a card in a box.  I added the leaves from Heartfelt Creation's Classic Leaf die.   A few bees are buzzing around too. 

I put the sentiment on the back of the box.  

The last project I am working on is a Concertina Card from Mixed Up Crafts.  It is a British blog and I think her name is Sam.  I just love her blog.  Lot's of great tutorials that are fun to make.  You can check her out here-

Here are a couple of pictures of my Concertina Card.  I haven't decided how to decorate it yet but wanted you to see it.  It does close for mailing too!

  The weather was a little chilly to start but now it is just beautiful in the 80's.  Hope it stays that way!!

I bought this sign at a Craft Fair!  My husband and I love to play golf here and I thought it would be nice to have on our wall!  Nice reminder!

We have been to Disney several times since we have been here.  So you know it hasn't been all work and no play.  Here are a few pictures from our stay.  Hope you all have a fabulous Valentine Day!
