Paper Playtime #7 Use a Pun

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! For me, I think the best part about Easter besides the goodie baskets is getting to see all the adorable little girls at Mass dressed in their finest party dresses!

This week, Paper Playtime is having a fun challenge. You can make a project that uses a pun.

Here's what I created for this challenge:
 

I wanted to make an Easter card for my boyfriend's mom. She is the only person I know who actually likes Peeps so I bought her a box and made her this card. I embossed the background with a swirly rubber stamp and Tim Holtz embossing powder. I used the chick from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge and Martha Stewart paper punch for the borders.  I used some Distress Ink for the second border and stamped the sentiment.

I really hope you all join in on the fun since I know just how many cartridges and stamps out there have puns!

Have a happy Easter everyone!

Ralphie's Bunny Suit + Giveway!!

Hey everyone! So I know it's been fairly quiet around these parts. Between school and being sick (ugh) I've been slower than usual. I'm hoping since Spring Break is on the horizon (mine apparently is after everyone else's) I'll  have some extra time to sit at my desk and craft. I miss it!

So today is Easter time over at Made Especially for You. The girls and I have made some really great cards using digis from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More and we can't wait to see what you come up with! This week's challenge is to create an Easter card using a digi stamp which honestly, is becoming my newest obsession. I like any excuse to whip out my markers! Since I have a thing for little kids in bunny suits (I think it started with my love for Ralphie in A Christmas Story- I sorta made him resemble Ralphie) I chose yet another adorable kid in bunny ears.

This week's winner will receive 5 digi stamps from the site and I think that's a pretty sa-weet deal!

ALSO! Don't forget about this month's lucky link-up! Throughout the month of April, you have unlimited opportunities to win the Wild Card cartridge being given away by one of our wonderful design team members, Pam from Scrappin Fab Pam. Here are the guidelines for the giveaway:
