Despite the fact that we could get up to 6 inches of snow today I am SO into spring papercrafting projects! ETA: I don't mean to whine about a little snow. I'm so sorry for the people in Japan and am hoping and praying for those in Hawaii and in the Pacific. I've used an image from the few images that were released in the Butterfly Dreams collection. This is #252 TILDA WITH HANGING RABBIT. I do love bunnies and have for many, many years! I have a stuffed one that I got for Easter as a child. The more realistic looking ones are my favorites! I like the white ones but am more partial to the brown or multicolored ones so I had to color Tilda's bunny!
This fun little box is a gable box made with an 8.5" x 11" sheet of cardstock! here is the link to the directions on SPLITCOAST
Here is the LINK to the whole collection of Mini magnolias but I used the following stamps:
My project bases are Pale Plum from SU. To create the scene, I stamped the spring tree on xpress it card stock. On another piece I stamped bunny tilda. Then I masked her and stamped the bench. I cut the bunny and bench out as one piece and adhered it to my tree scene. I used a craft knife to cut the 'holes' in the bench and then my Cutterbee scissors as usual to cut the image out.
I took a lot of pics because I just couldn't seem to get a good one!
I made this card 31/2" x 6". It's a very fun size! The base is Barely Banana, then Orchid from SU. The ribbon is from Papertrey Ink as is the button. Pretty straight forward card really. I think it would make an adorable thank you to my sister who hosted us for Easter dinner-THAT IS IF I could stand to let her go!! LOL!
So here's the other card if you want to see the colors I used HOPPY EASTER.
Our sketch is my the amazingly talented and fabulous Claudia of Pretty Pressings! She kept it nice and simple so the possibilities are endless and I love that! Thank you, Claudia!
My card base is Purely Pomegranate and I used dp from Basic Grey (Green at Heart) and cosmo Cricket (Farm Fresh). They mixed beautifully, IMO. I used images from Magnolia-licious, of course- the Open Gate and Tilda with eggs in her Apron. The sentiment is from Inky Antics. For details on making and entering a card this month, please visit our Magnolia Highlites Blog!
Once again, I forgot to write colors down and in a rush to clean up my desk I put the markers away. Sorry, I'll try to do better!
Another adorable Tilda from the Hoppy Easter collection at Magnolia-licious! I used more of the Magnolia made paper (also from Magnolia-licious!) as my background. Then I added a floral from my new Basic Grey Kioshi pad-love this new collection! It's so perfect for spring! I had the card put together and then decided the ribbon needed to be woven into the lattice punch. Well, I had glued it down really well! What a mess. I was able to punch a new one and cover the place where the top of the paper pulled off! Great save! The my bow was sort of small so I added some of the green chandelier beads that I got from...that's right... Magnolia-licious!
I had Book Club on Monday and DH and I have also been car shopping so I'm not getting much else done this week. The first of the month (How did that happen already?!) is tomorrow so there will be another Copic Creations Challenge posted-I'll get it done somehow!! In the next couple of days there will also be a new Magnolia DT monthly challenge posted on our blog! Yikes! (And, we pick up my new car tonight!) 
This is #3048 Bunny Tilda! She is on preorder right now (sorry!). The cart is #601 Wagon of Eggs and is available at Magnolia-licious! AND here's the PAPER!
The wagon is colored with Y21, E31, E33, E25 and E29. The grass is YG01, and YG25. The eggs are BG0000, BG10. The wheels are BG10 and BG72. Miss Bunny Tilda herself was colored to match this wonderful Magnolia paper! It isn't really pink, it's a perfect match for SU's Pale Plum! I used markers RV0000, RV93 and RV11.. My card is an unusual 4 3/4" x 51/2". And finally, is my attempt to one of the beautiful flower clusters all you creative, talented crafters are doing- I'm not very good at it!
After choosing the image I chose the sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge blog. She has some really great ones! Then I set to coloring our sweet Tilda!
She came out just as I hoped she would. I found this oval in a stash of cut ovals that I had discarded from previous cards-the bottom was aqua so I put it back in the Spellbinder's Die and used my stencil brush to swirl on some Adirondack lettuce ink! Perfect background!
Hello!! I just had to join in on the Featured Stamper challenge today! She had this terrific clean and simple card that shouted out to me!
Good Monday morning! Well, I finished this card last night but didn't have the umph to get it posted! It looks like I had a lot of visitors yesterday! Thank you! I hope you found something enjoyable on my blog even though there was nothing new!
As you may have noticed I almost always cut my images out (and often put them on dimensionals). Tilda is cut out, but with the detailed flowers on the egg image I just couldn't cut the egg out.
I want to point out that when I cut my images I also cut the area between the legs. I don't have anything special to cut with, just my Cutterbee scissors from Joann's. I just cut up the edge of the sock to get to the unwanted area and snip it out. Easy!
Tilda and the basket are colored with my copic markers. Decorative paper is from Stampin' Up and Basic Grey. I added grass in the basket so Tilda had a soft place to sit. I'm so sorry, but I don't have colors written down for this card. 
Anyway, this Tilda is from the Love Collection, but I think she looks like she is in her Easter outfit. Remember getting a new Easter dress and hat for church? We always did. I only wish I looked this good in a hat! Never could wear them! My Tilda came from Magnolia-licious! 
Here is my close up. And for the first time, I've taken a picture of my markers. The Ciao that you can't see are E00, E02, RV000, and R85. I forgot to photo the browns which are E33, E35 and E37 with a darker brown then used for touches.
