Peanuts gang celebrates Easter

Who else loves the Peanuts gang with Snoopy? I'm on a facebook group called "Stamping with the Peanuts Gang" and someone posted this fun stamping magazine, Creative Stamping, that I believe is out of the UK. Barnes & Noble, our local bookstore was selling this magazine with 27 stamps in it. I called 3 Barnes & Noble stores near me before finding one last week. Of course, I had to buy it and have been enjoying making cards with them. I decided to make an Easter card and this tree stamp by Catherine Pooler fits with this perfectly. Added a few Easter eggs by Papertrey Ink and voila, an Easter card!!

See the picture below with me and the magazine. You can order it online too but I think they are out of stock at the moment.

As You Like It - Favorite Person to craft for and Why (My favorite person to craft for is my chemo buddy. I am paired with a chemo buddy with this wonderful organization called Chemo Angels and I send a card a week. I love that I am bringing a smile to their face on their hardest of days, going through chemo for any kind of cancer. I have been doing this for about 8 years and I have had about 12 different chemo buddies throughout that time.

Breaking News - Tonia turns 63! LOL

The year was 1963 and it was the year my pen pal Tonia in Australia was born. (me too btw) Anyway, we have been pen pals for over 35 years and we met in person about 15 years ago when she came to Las Vegas. I have to send her card about 4-6 weeks ahead because it takes that long to get there. Her birthday is early May so I will mail this next week and hopefully she'll get it in time. I used the colors in this challenge for this card.

Another great stamp and die set by Hero Arts.

You're All That & A Bag of Chips

I love this new set by Hero Arts. It's actually not that new, but I am just now getting around to using it. First, I stenciled the background in a subtle blue using The Greetery's plaid stencils. Then I diecut out the bag of chips and the chips themselves. It was easy using the stencil to line up the coloring on the bag of chips. I thought this color combo went good for this first challenge. I chose the colors for my inspiration.
