Baa, Baa!


It's been more than three weeks since I've been in my Scrap Room and almost that long since I've been upstairs because of my leg! I limped my way up the stairs today to make two cards using my new Terrye French  Sheep With Flower Basket stamp (#106), and it was worth it. I had fun!


I design cards for Treasured Times Rubber Stamps


I used:
  • Kathy Davis Journeys card stock. It's gorgeous! There are a variety of pretty blue and green prints and some sparkly dragonflies.
  • small doily
  • Spellbinders & Cuttlebug to cut solid green mat
  • Terrye French Sheep with Flower Basket stamp
  • ribbon, ink, corner punch, foam adhesive
I made a second card with the stamp and went with a completely different color scheme.



On this card I used:
  • Cuttlebug and embossing folder, sand paper
  • bakery string
  • doily
  • Liquid Pearls, yellow
  • Maya Road Star pin
  • blue paper flowers, yellow ribbon rose
  • Ranger black Archival Ink, yellow glitter

How charming to drink your morning cuppa from this whimsical sheep cup made by Highland Stoneware
in Scotland. It holds 8.5 ounces and is safe for the dishwasher, freezer and oven! 
 




Did you pull any April Fool's pranks on Monday? College Girl replaced Handyman's daily cereal with dry cat food - she poured his cereal into another container and replaced it with kitty chow! He gets up at the crack of dawn everyday and always has a small bowl of his favorite cereal. Isn't she a rat?! Ha Ha! She placed a note in the fridge, under the milk, regarding the whereabouts of his actual cereal. He recognized kitty's dry food and didn't eat any and College Girl had some 'splaining to do' when she got up later in the morning! I awoke when she did and could not help laughing when Handyman gave me a wry look!

Happy April, No Foolin'!


 Hope you had a lovely weekend! Ours was quiet, restful and fun. At our house, Easter Bunny leaves clues regarding the whereabouts of College Girl's basket. What a clever Bunny he was to embellish her basket with two Kappa Alpha Theta symbols; twin stars and a cute little kite! 
 


 When we looked outside during breakfast we spotted this adorable baby cottontail - so tiny! He nibbled on grass and we nibbled on cinnamon coffee cake.


No April showers in the forecast this week, but I look forward to a few sometime this month. 

 
 Do you know how April Fool's Day got it's start?
  The most popular theory alleges that the custom originated when King Charles IX reformed the calendar, moving the start of the year from April 1 to January 1. People who continued to celebrate New Years on April 1 were mocked and had pranks played on them, thus initiating the custom of April 1st foolery. 

College Girl and I hatched a perfect April Fool's joke for Handyman to find this morning. I can't wait to see his reaction - haha!
