Something To Get Egg-cited about!

Yes, I did.  I just had to use that pun.  But this time of year is always egg-citing for me.  It's a time of year that reminds me that I have an eternal home waiting for me in heaven with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  That's the most important thing, but in addition to that, I love boiling, dyeing and eating eggs!  I was that kid that never got enough of them.  I knew we would have deviled eggs on Sunday and I could not wait.

I remember my favorite Easter was the year my Mom let me have two pair of shoes.  Oh she was the best!  I was not that fond of always having to get only one pair andespecially since they HAD to be white.  But that year was different, I talked her into letting me have this pair of yellow patent shoes.  I was really something special that year.  The classic white eyelet Easter dress with a drop waist and yellow ribbon and my YELLOW shoes.  What could be better than that?

But wait there's more!  I got a pale yellow polka dotted swiss dress too!  My bedroom got a fresh coat of paint that spring too .... lemon custard yellow.  So now I'll give you two guesses what my favorite flavor of Baskin Robbins ice cream was ... yup ... lemon custard icecream.  And I am sure you want to know why I am so egg-cited? 

Well, I love polka dots and Close To My Heart is celebrating National Scrapbook Month withDotty for You!  Find out more in the video in my previous post!

2012 National Scrapbooking Month: Dotty for You

Heartfelt Sentiments Card Challenge 3/11/2012

Alright, our team leader issued another challenge for the past weekend.  A 6x6 card from one of our CTMH How-To Program books.  We were to take a 12x12 scrapbook design and make it a 6x6 card.  How clever!

I made two cards.  One using our current Spring/Summer 2012 Idea book paperpack, Footloose and it's Footloose Complements.  Also featuring the Garden Wooden Shapes (dragonflies) and Color-Ready Cork Alphabet in Chocolate. 

And my stash clean out card from pieces of B&T paper from Hooligans is below.

The design for the cards were taken from the book "Magic" on page 110 design layout is called "Juggling Act" left page of the two page layout.

Get in there and create!  HURRY, these books are only available while supplies last.  Shop with me and get yours soon.

Thanks for visiting.  Comment and let me know your thoughts.   ~ Jaynut
