A Couple of Easter Cards


This is for Crazy 4 Challenges - a nice and easy sketch!  Thanks ladies - I had fun.  I started coloring my bunny with copics and didn't like the look, so I re-colored him with my Marvys.  I can't tell you the last time I used those!  Everyone talks copics but the good ole Marvys sure worked for me!!



This cutie is for Our Creative Corner and the sketch is by Silke.  I loved this sketch~~ it was a challenge to get the colors for Curtain Call #23 - white, kraft, light pink and black to look like I wanted.  I originally had my card base black, but it was to severe with this cute little bunny, so I changed it to white.  I am happy with the end result.  Thanks everyone for a great couple of challenges!

F/U Note:  We had a HUGE success with making some emergency money by having a garage sale ~ DH was on a roll selling....everything!  Kudos to him.  I spent all day and pm photographing items for Ebay~ came to a stand still when I realized  I have no idea what to charge for shipping.  I will go to the p.o. on Monday and get some boxes and rates.  Luckily, the money isn't an issue now so the pressure is off  "to get er done".  The money earned from Ebay will help to pay future bills.  Thank heaven for garage sales!! LOL

Thanks for stopping by~~

Some cute little bunnies here! Really nice job on BOTH challenges.

That's great you had such a successful garage sale. My secret to Ebay....once you start listing, keep at it. It gets easier each week. I stopped around the holidays and haven't made it back yet!

Depending on what you are mailing, a small digital food scale works to figure shipping. Mine goes up to 5 lbs. and works great for me.
