Green Weekend
I have been holding onto this super funky printed cardstock for a while now. I bought a bunch of these little bags at the thrift store the other day and trimmed one down to go on the card. The image is justjohanna Just For You Branch which I colored with a Marvey Marker and a Prismacolor pencil. I think it would be fun to slip a gift card or home-made coupon in the little bag.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the 1st Annual Fiskateer Spring Fling. It was really fun to meet many talented crafters. My friend Tami was there and we both won prizes. I won the Fiskars Craft Drill. I got to play with it a little bit at my Fiskar Demonstrator Certification training a few weeks ago.
Our family has been working on our garden since Thursday. This is a picture of a little bit of our garden. You can see some of the typical plantings: corn, eggplant, herbs, etc. But, every morning, we wake up and someone has burrowed a hole in our garden. I know it's not a bunny because no plants were eaten. What is it? Rat? Mole? Anyone else have strange holes in their gardens? It's really giving me the creeps.

In Your Easter Bonnet . . .
Here are a couple fun cards shaped like Easter bonnets. I used Linda's template. I decorated the hats with justjohanna stamps: Happy Easter, Created By, Michelle's Little Scroll, Circle Dot Background, and Lacy Border plus a couple leaves cut off some ribbon and Anna Griffin paper on the bottom one and ribbon and a hat pin on the top one.

The Bird Project
This month each justjohanna Design Team Member was sent a little wooden bird cutout and asked to decorate it however we want. The birds will be displayed on a wall in the justjohanna Boutique.
- Bird: Painted white then heat embossed justjohanna Circle Dot Background in pink and added Me and My Big Ideas pink sparkles and clear sparkle for eye.
- Tail: justjohanna Limited Edition Kit fabric that I fanfolded and stapled.
- Scalloped frame: justjohanna Lacy Border stamped in pink onto paper from the justjohanna LE Kit.
- Background: Hot pink painted 5 x 5 canvas with justjohanna Michelle's Little Scroll heat embossed with Ranger Antique Vertigris.
- Hanger: lime green ric rack.
Check out Debbie's amazing bird project.

A Duck Makeover
Then, he got a little makeover with paint, Daisy D's paper and a new ribbon.
Then, I embellished a yellow towel with light blue rickrack, added some rubber duck goodies from Target and some Krispie Pops that I'm calling ducks now (close enough) and put it all in a basket.

Ooh la la
For now, here is a little pretty that I made after my whirlwind weekend. I used a vintage pastry pan, vintage sheet music, French ribbon, faux pearls, feathers and a sparkly black ribbon embellishment.
