Hello


I gathered up all my pink snippets to start, trimmed them up and adhered to
a 3 3/4" by 5" piece of card stock, then trimmed the edges.  I embossed
the panel with a Cuddle Bug  Mosaic embossing folder. I used additional
snippets to die cut Pink Fresh  Mini Hello word die and Simon Says Stamp 
Fiddly Leaf.  This was a fun card to make. 

A few fun challenges: 
Can You Handle the Pressure:  option flowers 5/6

Easter ATC

  

 
I made a lot of Easter ATC's this year instead of Easter cards to send.  I 
pulled out my old Amuse printed card stock for the bases (mostly snippets)
and used snippets for the rest of the ATC. Trash went out yesterday so
I only had a couple of the snippets to photograph.   
 

 

 The one I pictured here is from the former TAC (The Angel Company)
and is called nobunny like you. Stampin Up layering oval die set
used. 
 
A few fun challenges I made this for:
