Karen Burniston Designer Challenge -- Designer's Choice

This month's Karen Burniston Designer Challenge is anything goes.  The theme is "Designer's Choice," so we can do whatever we'd like.  I decided that, as Easter is just a few weeks away, I would make an Easter card.

I had enjoyed Karen's March Zoom class using the new Popcorn die with the Flower Pot Pop-up, so much so that I converted it to an Easter basket, substituting Easter eggs for all that popcorn.  

The basket on the front has the perennial chocolate bunny and a few eggs, several of which have fallen into the grass.  I added the Easter sentiment on one of the new Bouquet Bits.

The basket on the inside has Easter eggs made from the Easter Borders set, as well as two of the Spring Animals -- the bunny and the chick.  One of the cool things that I liked from the Zoom class was that Karen also used the new Triple Platform Pop-up.  As you can see from the photo, there are a few more larger Easter eggs mounted on that section.

I always enjoy Karen's Zoom and Virtual classes, and it's fun re-making the cards in a totally different theme. 

April Calendar Challenge

Time to turn the calendar to April, and I'm continuing with my participation in the calendar challenge with my friend, Sue Small-Kreider.  You'll find her April page here.

I know the saying is "April showers bring May flowers;" but I live in Florida, and we have flowers blooming all year long.  So my calendar page is a wheelbarrow full of flowers.  The wheelbarrow was made with a Honey Bee Stamps die set.  I stamped the flowers with one of the stamps in Honey Bee's Loads of Spring stamp set.  This stamp is actually an add-on to Honey Bee's Big Pick-up Tailgate, but it worked perfectly in the wheelbarrow by cutting the colored image in half and stacking the pieces in the wheelbarrow.  The grass was made with Karen Burniston's Nature's Edges die.

 I'm really having fun with this challenge.  I already have May's page done as well!
