This year the festival runs from March 20 – April 14, 2019, it is full of events that honor both American and Japanese cultures and represents a close bond forged between the two countries that began with Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki’s gift of the trees back in 1912.

For my card I used a cut file from the Silhouette Design Store by Jennifer Rush called CHERRY BLOSSOM CARD.

I cut the flower blossoms out of both pink and vellum, then layered them.

Denise Bryant said...

Love your cute polar bear card!
Worst winter experience was when my daughter was little, about 5 years old. We had taken a winter vacation to go to the Lake Tahoe area from the central coast of CA where we lived. It was an 8+ hour drive for us to get to my husband's family cabin. Just as we arrived, our daughter threw up. It went downhill from there, as the bug took a turn with each one of us. We didn't feel well enough to drive home and had to extend our stay there. It was cold and we had snow to deal with, which we were't used to. All in all, a pretty miserable vacation! Had a hard trip home when we did feel well enough to travel, because our ears were so congested that it was painful to change elevation on the way down the mountain!

Congrats to Denise! If you email me your address I will mail your gift to you.

Easter Bunny Card

March is upon us, daylight savings time will start next weekend, and spring is just around the corner!

I'm ready for all of it, how about you?

Tired of cold weather, wind and snow; looking forward to sunshine and flowers blooming.

When I start thinking about spring, I think about Easter.

Today I'd like to share an Easter card I created with a cut file from the Silhouette Design store.
I just love the way this little bunny is balancing a couple of Easter eggs on his nose.

I also used a Silhouette Design store cut file for the pinking shear edge mat I cut from pink gingham pattern paper.

The cute little chipboard flowers and the sentiment are chipboard stickers by Echo Park.

Supplies Used: Card stock - white, black, grey, pink, 2 shades of teal; patterned paper by Echo Park;

Flower stem stamps by Lawn Fawn; chipboard stickers by Echo Park; sewing machine and thread.
