SD Challenge: Easter

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail, hopping down the bunny trail.  Don’t you remember singing that as a kid?  Easter was always so special.  We woke up to the Easter Bunny’s arrival and had new dresses for church.  My Polish grandmother would take mom, my sisters and I to church to have our Easter baskets (filled with food) blessed.  As I got older I continued on with my own tradition and sewed matching dresses for my daughter, Sarah, and I.

What is your Easter tradition?  I would love to hear about it.

Easter will be here soon, so we thought we would get creative and get ahead of the game by creating something for Easter.  We are excited to announce that:

We now carry JustRite stamps

To view our stamps click here

Here is what set we used today:

The fun thing about JustRite is that they sell their wooden handle separately, so you can interchange a variety of sets.  Each stamp is interlocking and fits snuggly into the handle.  The circular sentiments are separate from the center image so you can change the colour of your ink or use a different sentiment.

The Design Team have created some cute projects for you…

Sunflowers and Dragonflies Challenge 27: ATC’s

Howdy.  Can it really be Saturday already?!  Where does the time go.  I can’t believe it’s the end of January.  Are you feeling the same way?

We love our ATC’s here at Sunflowers and Dragonflies, so we’re doing another ATC challenge.  If you are looking for stamps that are perfect for ATC’s, may I suggest our very own Beautiful Life series.  These ladies have coordinating flourishes and fit perfectly on an ATC.   These stamps can be stamped just as-is or can be coloured in.  Our ladies are ethnic in origin too.

My card uses the recent Side Step Card technique from Splitcoast Stampers.  The decorative paper was made using the Technique Junkie’s Waxy Cuttlebug technique.  The ATC uses our Melody and Melody Flourish, and the sunflower was made using Spellbinder’s sunflower die cut.  Many layers of yellows, oranges, burgundy and brown ink brought the flower to life.  The butterfly is from K&Co.

This week’s prize
