EASTER–ANYTHING BUT A CARD CHALLENGE AT PLATYPUS CREEK!

Hey everyone!   Hope you had a lovely weekend.  Mine was spent at my 12 year old son’s soccer tournament outdoors.  Yesterday wasn’t too bad – in the 50s for day game and cooler for evening game, but bearable.  This morning was quite cold and snowing, which was stinky, but the boys won today, so that was nice after tie and loss yesterday.  At the moment, I’m just glad to be in my house, bills paid, dinner eaten, kids’ lunches pack and kitchen cleaned, so I am blogging and crafting until bedtime!  YAY.

We have a NEW CHALLENGE for you this week at PLATYPUS CREEK BLOG and it is EASTER BUT NO CARDS – must be something OTHER THAN A CARD!  You do not have to use an image from PLATYPUS CREEK, but we’d sure love to see one!! Hope you will come play along!!

 

My card today features PLATYPUS CREEK image “Easter Ella” who I have colored with Copics and cut with Nestie.  I then daubed the edges of die with Memento inks.  Fence basket is cut file from My Scrap Chick, which I cut with my Pazzle.  I used Core-dinations CS and DP from DCWV.  I added some Easter grass and candy filled plastic eggs.  Sentiment is from a rubber stamp set in my stash and is cut with Nestie.  Hope you like it and will come play along!!

I’m sorry I’m a bit late with posting this NEW CHALLENGE at MILKCOFFEE CHALLENGE, but the week was busier than expected and we are away this weekend for my older son’s soccer tournament.  Thank goodness I have had some down time tonight which has allowed me to catch up on a bunch of stuff

Anyway, our NEW CHALLENGE over at MILKCOFFEE CHALLENGE is GO GREEN, so we want to see the color green or use something recycled (or both are of course acceptable!)  You have until 8pm EDT on Wednesday, March 27 to come play.  While we’d love to see you use an image from MILKCOFFEE SHOP, it is not required to play along in our challenges.  Hope you will come join us!!
