Botanical Border Notecards

I have a set of notecards to share today...made using some of the goodies I won a little while ago over at Pixie's Snippets Playground. The silhouette botanical border stamp is one of the 'Backdrops Borders' by Bee Crafty and the sentiments are from the 'Brushstroke Expressions' set by My Favorite Things. I used my Tim Holtz stamping platform to make sure that the stamps were in the same position on each card...and made one set using 'Audrey Blue' and another using 'Wisteria' ink by Simon Says Stamp. The are two of each card in each colour.

Challenges for these notecards:

• Crafty Calendar - Anything Goes
• Creative Fingers - Anything Goes
• Creative Moments - Monochrome
• My Time to Craft - Monochrome

Easter Treat Bag

I have a treat bag for you today...well...not actually 'for you'...but you know what I mean! I've been decorating a few little bags (bought from ebay) to put some Easter treats in to give as gifts...so you'll be seeing more of these this week. On this one, I've used a digi stamp from Bee Crafty called 'Easter Bunny & Hen'...so cute! The papers are from the 'Hippity Hoppity' pad by We R Memory Keepers...I distressed the edges a little, and added faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen. I punched holes at the top of the bag using my ribbon slot punch (by Xcut...I think) in the front and back, so that I could tie it closed with ribbon (from Hobbycraft).
