Two for ... er ... Sunday

I don't have many Easter stamps, as we don't give Easter cards.  So the one stamp set I do have gets rather a hammering.  

The fridge is full of Lindt chocolate bunnies, or maybe they are multiplying in there.  Alot of it seems to have come back from Melbourne, a surprise that it survived a 2 hour plane trip.

These are such lovely fresh colours and this card came together surprisingly easily as well.  The peony images from the PTI anniversary set are just so versatile and a pleasure to use.

Goodness, I can't believe it is nearly Easter time, though it's hard to tell exactly when it is as Easter eggs have been in the shops since the beginning of the year.  There were so many lovely elements to this graphic it was really hard to choose 1 or 2, but this is what I have settled on.

I loved the blue foil wrapped eggs and the rabbits stamped on newsprint. Unfortunately I had nowhere for a sentiment so ended up with a comment.

The challenge this week was to add eggs ...... but when I started this card, I didn't have any stamps with eggs on them!!  How did this happen.  But fortune was smiling on me today (well in 1 respect anyway) when the mailman came today he brought with him my Waltzing Mouse order  which included egg stamps.    However in my enthusiasm to colour I made a complete mess of the shading so only the bin gets to see that one.

So, this is what we have ended up with.  Not eggs but think alittle laterally, they could be.

Now for  some gratuitous animal photos.  As I have probably mentioned we have a rescue dog with us at the moment.  We are on trial to see if she is happy here, needless to say my husband and daughter are in canine heaven.  Billie is a 2 year old goldie collie cross who has had a pretty tough life and if we could just fix the weeing on the rug problem and the barking at other dogs problem we would have the perfect pooch.  Mind you she is a dream compared to our 5 month old Ragdoll cat who is prone to a few psychotic moments throughout the day.
