Spring Blooms - Table Runner

I saw this cute table runner in one of my favorite magazines Canadian Living!  I tore the page out and it has been in my craft room for quite some time.  I am just glad that I still had it (I've been tossing lots of loose paper and such).  If you want to make one yourself....click HERE

SPRING is HERE!

The weather has change and the snow is finally melting! 

 Did I say...Spring is here!

So it is time to clean and freshen up everything around the house.

Time to bring out the flowers and watering cans.

So I am looking forward to having a healthy Easter brunch with my new Spring Blooms table runner.

I had fun making this, it took me about 3 hours in total.  Once I started I didn't stop until it was complete!  If you would like to know how I did this in a little more detail click here!

I think I'll try this on some pillows next!

I am linking my cute Easter project with these cool sites!

Card Swap!

I been apart of a Card Swap group on Facebook for quite awhile now!  We sign up for a swap and create usually 6 cards for various themes.  I thought I would post some pictures of the cards I've made for this months swap.  Our theme is Spring/Easter.  We were to create 3 for each, adding ribbon or embellishments.  We then send them to Tyra (the girl who started the group).  She then divides them up and sends back 6 cards to each of us! 

Easter bunny created with punches and embossed with my Big Shot!



Spring chick, created with punches and embellished with brads!



Chick love, border punched with a Martha punch and embellished with a Prima.





Butterfly love, A fun Spring time card



Nothing says spring like bright flowers!  I love the big flower button!



This pretty card can be used for Easter, Spring or even Mothers Day!

In return I've received some beautiful creations from some very talented ladies who take part in this fun group.  These are card makers who are from all over the Country and even outside Canada!!  It is great seeing and getting inspired by other peoples art!

This was fun to make!  I did the chick with punches and cut the circle with my Cricut, cut it in half and taped a small bag inbetween the 2 half circles!
