Happy Easter

My buddy Karen sent this photo of her puppy Molly.  Look how excited she is to be a bunny!  Molly is the sweetest little girl.  She is the official greeter at Karen's Shop and my local playground... you girls who follow Di will know what I mean by that.  So, how about hopping on over across the pond and check out this fun and very creative blog page..... Hop, Hop, Hop! 

My snippet card for today is called the never ending card....and trust me, it does go on for a bit, but it's a really fun card to make.  I saw it posted on a blog...wish I could remember which one.... an issue for those of us who have fallen off the swing one to many times!  If anyone is interested, I can write up the directions.  It's a hard to give photo  justice to this inter-active card, I find it really fascinating.... I am however easily fascinated....it's a great way to use snippets and as you know...I have many.  Di, email me I have a wonderful idea for the playground girls and let's just say....FIELD TRIP!

Now on to the snippet card.  The base wasn't a snippet, it is a 4 x 10 inch piece of white card stock. 
This is what the front of the card looks like.....

and then, you fold the gate fold open....and this is what you see....

next open the center folding the top up and the bottom down

And finally fold the center panel to the back and this is what you see.....

This card was fun...a challenge but fun.   Look at all the bits and pieces you can use up....

Well friends....  Happy Easter! 

Workdesk and Snippets and Class....Oh My!

Ok, so here's what was on my workdesk last.....

Today is Wednesday, a day I'm always looking forward to.  Another week of seeing what Julia has been up to and a chance to peek in on all the creative folks that I've meet through Julia.  So, take a minute to visit Julia and if you have a few more minutes, check out what we've all been up to this week.  My tag for Cheryl...I probably won't see her until May, but this is for her.

I started my day getting organized.  I decided to tidy up all the snippets left over from the card kits I made for my May class.  I'll have lots of Christmas snippets left, so lots of cards in my future.  Maybe I can pass out snippets on the playground...Speaking of snippets, my tag is loaded with them.  I've had the flowers in a box on my desk for months.  I did add Perfect Pearls to the centers.  The doily has been in my stash for years, it's one of those things were you buy a package of them and then 10 of the 12 sit for years waiting for a home.  The scissors, the flourish and the small doily center and the butterflies were all cut from snippets left over from card kits from days gone by.  Don't you just love the scissors....I sure do....I'm going to link to Di's Snippet challenge.  I hope you hop on over and check her blog out.  And if you have snippets, and I'm sure you must, you might want to skip through the fence and play with the rest of us. 

Doesn't that look tidy....I thought so....but then after I put them in my snippet file(s), I thought I need to get busy and get a tag made for a gal who made a beautiful tag for me.  I was quite surprised by the gift of a tag from Cheryl.  She's such a talent and at the beginning of our last all day crop at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique, Cheryl handed me this tag....

Her gift of kindness made me feel so good.  The entire time spent with everyone made me smile.  Thank you Cheryl.... I'm not a great tag creator, but I wanted to make a tag for Cheryl.  I named my tag Hope.  Cheryl fought through a serious health issue and during her entire challenge, I always saw hope.  Thankfully, Cheryl fought through it and I think I will always see her face when I hear the word HOPE.

I showed you my snippet organizing desk....now let me show you what my desk looked like as I was making the tag for Cheryl...

When I see the mess my granddaughter makes when she's crafting....I have to giggle...I think she inherited that gene from me....Well, to show her that Grammy cleans up her mess as soon as she's made it....(well most of the time)  Here's my cleaned up desk....at least clean until tomorrow!

News about out Blue Jays.  There are at least 4 eggs and maybe even 5.  I've only been able to get a photo of 3 eggs, but we have seen the tip of  4 of them and we think we've seen a glimpse of a 5th. 

From me and our visiting mom......Have a most wonderful week. 

Hugs to all..... Glitter Grammy
