Easter ATCs in progress

(Easter ATCs in progress:  click on the pic to enlarge)

I've been working on some Easter themed atcs for a swap--but these still need a little something, such as a Happy Easter on the front! These are standard size atcs with a little bit of an arch and a cut frame.  The backgrounds on the large part of the atcs are Gelli Plate prints, while the framed section uses Perfect Pearl Mist shimmery backgrounds.  Stamp Sets Used: Grunge Collages, Grunge It Up,  Vintage Birds, and Years Ago For more info on these atcs, visit my full blog post at easily amused, hard to offend. Have a great Sunday! :)trisha

Steampunk Birdhouse to celebrate Mother's Day by Leigh S-B!

Created by: Leigh Snaith-Brunton ~ The Sharpie Domino Queen and Design Team Member Description: A Steampunk inspired Birdhouse to celebrate Mom's Day!! Happy Mother's Day to all our Mom readers!  Hope you are spoilt rotten on Sunday ;0) I used the small bird from the Vintage Bird Illustrations set and the Happy Mother's Day sentiment which can be found on the Daisies set.  Both are Blockheads exclusives and the Measuring Tape border stamp by Lost Coast Designs is also available at Blockheads Paper Arts! For step by step instructions for this card, visit my full blog post on Leigh S-B Designs blog. I'm also excited to share that my little birdie house grabbed two Top 3 spots in the Craft Your Days Away and Creative Inspirations Paint challenges, woohoo ;0)

altered rolodex card

Oh, honey, I am SO ready for sping . . .

This altered rolodex card was made for a swap with a friend--
she made the sheet music covered background, and sent it to me.
We're trying to keep these flat, as we each intend to eventually
fill a rolodex with altered cards.

The sweet bird's nest and egg are from the Vintage
Illustrated Birds set, which is a perfect set for some
springtime inspiration!

So, what spring stamping are YOU doing?
