Happy Belated Easter

 Hello all, 

It is hard to believe that Declan is a month old already.  He has his check up and he gained 2 pounds in that time.  He is growing so fast.   Our biggest challenge is that he doesn't sleep for very long.  He is looking for food every 2-3 hours.   It is exhausting, but I know this phase will pass quickly.  I'm trying to soak up all the good things about cuddly newborn.   

I haven't been too busy in my craft room this last month.  I'm sorry for the lack of card related posts.  I hope to get back to crafting very soon.  I'm starting to go through withdrawal.  My fingers are itching to get inky!   In the meantime, I thought I'd share some photos from our Easter photo shoot.    The puppies got in on the fun too. 

I took a bunch of photos because they are only this little once.  If you have a comment click here to email me.  If you his reply to this email, it will get lost in cyber-space.   I took some one month photos too.  I'll share them once I get them edited. 

Hugs to you all,

Chris

 Greetings,  

Stamp companies are getting to be so creative.  I love how they are making dies that cut out the hands of critters so they can hold various items.  This little bunny is meant to be holding a cup of coffee/tea.  I thought it would be fun fill his arms with carrots.  It pairs perfectly with this sentiment.  It might be my new favorite Easter sentiment.  Gosh it is cute!

Hello friends,  

I bought this St. Patty's Day stamp last year and it has been sitting on my table for a full year.   I couldn't let this holiday go by without getting some ink on it.  I just think this frog is super cute!    

It has been a popular idea to cut stipes of paper to decorate part or all of a card.  I thought I'd give it a try. I cut up a bunch of green cardstock and green glitter cardstock.  I wanted them to be all different widths. Then just glued them to the white base until they met the frog's feet.  It was are really easy background to create.
