April Showers Blog Hop

Welcome to the April Showers Blog Hop and I hope that you have a wonderful and creative adventure with all the Talent and Creative blogs that you will be hopping on to. Some of us are going to be posting one post today and one tomorrow, so please be sure to hop over tomorrow. I have a very special project for tomorrow and the Cricut Cartridge Lite HANDYMAN as blog candy for all who leave me a comment tomorrow, and if you leave a comment today as well, I will give you an extra chance to win. My little one will be drawing the winner on Monday evening, this way it will be easier to give that extra chance for those of you who comment on both post.

Well todays project is very green in that I made all 3 of these cards using only scraps and old supplies that I had on hand. Card one was made especailly for this hop. The other 2 are cards that I made right after the one for this hop. I have to admit, I enjoyed using things that I didn't know what I was going to do with. Well enough of me, here is my project and the extras:

This is an A2 card. This is an ATC from a swap I was in back about 2 years ago. Not sure of the maker, but it is one that I really liked. The punch is by Stampin Up.  Not sure of the cardstock due to all of it being from my scratch pile.


This is an A2 card with another of the ATC's I received from a swap. Also not sure what cuttlebug folders that were used as they were also from a swap that I was in. The stamped green card stock is also from my scratch pile.


This is a business size card that used a Stampin Up Border Punch and 3 Twinchies. Again I used only scratch pile stuff.

Hope you enjoy the hop and don't forget to come back tomorrow.
