APRIL FOOLS BLOG HOP!

Welcome to It's A Joy 2 Scrap's April Fool's Day Blog Hop! I hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday! If you came here from Katie's BLOG, you are in the right place. However, if you happened upon my blog, please head over to It's A Joy 2 Scrap's blog so you don't miss any of the fun.


For this hop, we were asked to create a project that “tricks the eye.”  I really had to dig deep in my thought process. My first thought was to make an animal with a human head. But then I came up with something even better then that. What better way to trick the eye then to use the same paper but in a different direction?

So even though it's hard to see (and it's suppose to be) here is a card that says "The Big Day"  Thanks April for letting me join in your Blog Hop. I can't believe I got to be in this with all the other talented crafters. I had alot of fun creating this card and I think it turned out pretty good.

This is an A2 size card.

Paper, DCWV Flower shower

Wacky Wed. Challenge and Ugly Paper Challenge.

I want to enter this card in two challenges. Paula, over at More Then Favors is having Wacky Wed and it is a man card. And Queen Of My Craft Room is having an ugly paper challenge. I think this card will do for both. I think this paper looks like the old fabric they used to make mattresses out of...blah. But on the other hand I thought it made a good back ground for this man card. So, let me know what you think. Hugs, Debi

Mary's bunny challange @ cardztv

• 

Here is a bunny card for Mary's challange over at Cardz TV. Most everyone knows her and knows she is the sweetest gal on the blog. The bunny was cut from "Live Simply" lite cart. The grass was cut from ... oh now I don't remember, I used my Gypsy to find it. (sorry) The flower is a sticker and the so called banner above is design paper by Debbie Mum, and I just cut out part of it that I thought kind of looked like Easter eggs. lol...

I'm having alot of fun in my craft room again and feeling much better. I hope you will leave a comment and let me know what you think or let me know what I should do different. Hugs, to all my new followers and hugs to everyone else. Debi

CCC Challange card.

All righty then, I finely made a card for a challange. Cricut Cards Challage...can you tell what the colors were we are suppose to use? These are not my fave's but it turned out fine. Blue, yellow and white. Now for some reason I think brown went good with these. The florish if from SFTN. All the card stock is from my scraps and stash. Oh darn, I should have put a little bling right in the center of the florish. Well I still will. I'm going to mail this to my sweet cuz in MN. She mailed me some very old pic's of our mothers when they were young and some of us when we were young and they traveled here is the summer. I owe her a nice thanks. I hope I'm getting back into the swing of things a little. Let me know what you think. Nice Springy hugs, Debi

Man Bday card

Finely I'm posting a card.

I just haven't felt like doing much. My oldest brother passed away in Dec. and I started to scrap some pictures of  him when he was younger and even some recent pic's of him with his kids and grand kids. I had to stop. I will get back to them at a later time. I started missing him so much I guess it put me in a sad mood for awhile.

Okay on with this card. I made this card for my honey. He is a Leo so I did a lion card. The paper is from DCWV the Rock Stack. I just love this paper for my boys, who are older and love to play guitars. But it works great for almost any man card. The lion is a sticker, it's really nice, it's fuzzy and the mane is almost like fur. I cut the grass from the Everyday Paper Dolls. It's an A2 size card. The pic doesn't do it justice but then they hardly ever do. So, let me know what you think. I'm trying to get into the crafting mode.  Hugs, Debi
