Stampin' Chicks downline meeting

Hi all, Just a quick post to share some of the Fabulous Creations made by the gals in our group, "Stampin' Chicks" I am so fortunate to be in a group with so many talented stampers! We recently decided to form a new group as our original downline group was getting rather large. I really do miss the other ladies in our original group as they are all so talented and so much fun to be with. having a smaller group is good though, because we can take the opportunity to share and discuss our ideas and techniques for projects more at length since there are fewer of us and with a larger group time just would not permit. I hope it will be inspirational and we can really get our creative juices flowing! Hope you enjoy all the Cards!

Hugs, Heidi

Alex ( above) and Jeffrey looking over their goodies. I also made each child a little treat bag using the same bunny stamps as the card (below) and filled them with a giant pencil, sidewalk chalk ,shaped in Easter themes. Lip gloss for the girls and chap stick for Jeffrey. Bubbles in fun shaped bottles (frogs) that had whistles on the top of the bubble blower. the parents all really loved me for that! They also got little note books on key chains, and more misc. stuff.

A Late Easter Card

Late Easter Card

Hello! I hope this week is going great for everyone! I have a late Easter card that I wanted to share with all of you. I made this for my Daughter using a few stamps found in the $1.00 bin a Michaels. Sometimes you can find good stuff in there! I used various scraps of Stampin' Up DSP and card stock that I had in my stash. I just tried to put together some pleasing color combo's using what I had. I think it turned out rather nice, for a hodge podge card. I just wanted something light and fun to send to Nicole and her Hubby for Easter.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! My family and I sure did. We had a very nice dinner over at my Sister's place and the kids had their annual Egg Hunt. I started buying the large plastic eggs a couple years back, and filling them with little goodies from the $1.00 store. The kids get a kick out of finding a small prize in every egg. Sometimes it's a little toy, or some candy , or a quarter . Sometimes even a dollar bill! Last year I made a "Golden Ticket" and placed it in just one of the eggs. and whoever found that special egg got a special prize. Normally I make sure that everyone gets the same amount of goodies, so no one feels left out. This year I just made all the prizes the same for everyone. They have fun, and before I leave, they make sure I have all the empty eggs to be filled again for next year. The egg hunt is my favorite part. I start collecting prizes well before Easter. I am a "bigger kid" than all of them put together! Hopefully they will all have fond memories to take with them into adulthood. Here are a few pics to share of our Easter. Hope you enjoy them.

Now it's off to bed, to get some sleep before work tomarrow I have more projects to share, so I'll be posting again in the next day or so. Have a good one! Heidi
