Day 2 of April Showers Blog Hop

Welcome to day 2 of the April Showers Blog Hop. Sorry my post is late, but my post for today vanished when I tried to update the links. So all my work disappeared, but the worst was my beautiful layout is gone. I didn't save it to my computer due to thinking it was on my blog so I don't need to save anymore. So I am putting up some more cards that I had made last week using only scrap supplies and papers.

There are several of us in this hop that have made different projects for day 2 of this hop so please do go through and view them all. There is a list at the bottom of this post with all the blog that participated in this hop. These are some very talented women on these blogs and I think you will agree that they all have done a Wonderful job.

Well on to my back up projects. I will go back and get the layout from my friend and take more pics so I can post here, I was really proud of this one. Any who on to my cards:


This 1st one is useing a Trinchie from a swap I was in with some CTMH piece of ribbon I had left from years ago. I also got lucky and found 3 yellow flower brads, one of them is not the exact same color, but close. Only scrap paper was used, even for the base of the card.


This 2nd card is using a Trinchie from a swap with some yellow CTMH scrap ribbon and some black ribbon scrap from another swap I was in. The 2 flower brads are also left overs from another project and I only had 2 that matched. The stamps "Peace, Love, Forever" are from the Pink Stampers set "Friends and Family" set. Only scrap paper was used, even for the base of the card.
 

This last card is using a set of Trinchies and several layers of scrap papers. The trim are very small pieces I had left over (I don't throw anything away that is 2 inches or bigger. I used the SU punch on the edge, but it is bearly visable in the picture. There is one white button and 2 black dew drops on the pot of the bottom Trinchie. The base of the card is the only piece of paper that wasn't from my scrap pile.

I do have something sweet to give away. I have a new Cricut Lite Handyman Cartridge which will be drawn on Monday evening by my little one. You will get 2 chances to win if you commented on both todays and yesterday post. You also need to be a follower, so please leave a way for me to contact you.
