I'm Crystal and I make stuff. I am a self taught seamstress, card maker and lover of all things creative and inspirational. I am a stay at home mother of 4.

Life is busy so love your kids, wink at your husband, pet the cat(or dog), make time for yourself and use your grandmother's china for supper.

Almost Easter
Easter is only 4 days away and I am busy preparing for it. Family dinner on Sunday, preparing all the kidlets Easter surprises, everything fresh and light. Mind you, it's not green outside yet, we are in fact expecting a spring snow storm later today and through tomorrow. It should be nice and sloppy on Friday for our neighborhood egg hunt!
Just a few things created that I would like to share.
I made this Easter card for my Mother-in-Law. I was inspired by a card I saw on Splitccoaststampers. I can't find it now, but if the person that inspired were to stumble on it and say "Hey, that's my card darn you!" I will give credit where credit is due.
I used the Stampin' Up Apothecary Art stamp set and the new framelits dies that are in the current Occasions Mini. So soft and spring like. I made another one for my Mom.
Next was spring wreath for my front door. I used some flowers I had laying around. The pink "peonies" are actually made with coffee filters sprayed with colored water. Super easy tutorial I found on Little Birdie Secrets. I bought some jute when I went on my linen buying spree and used that for a bow. The inspiration I used was from the Domestic Fashionista . Hers is much nicer, but I used what I had on hand.
I loved the coffee filter flowers so much I made a small bouquet of them to sit on my little curio table.
Going to go and do some ironing before the kiddies get home. Need to clean up the laundry/sewing area to take some pics of the new curtains I made for in there. I don't know why I went so long without. Till then, have an inspiring day!
