Happy Easter Cardz TV Gallery

Hi Everyone
my privilege to post today at
I can't believe that
Easter Sunday is just a few days away
and we had snow here on
Monday morning wish I could see some signs
of spring.... so nothing to due but
make myself some cute Easter
treat boxes
 
 
Started with this cute little print and cut file from the
Silhouette store
Design ID #56920
I size this to 3" and  the
little Happy Easter
from CARDZ TV STAMPS
"Happy Days"
fits perfectly on the egg!
I stamped this with versa fine
and embossed with clear embossing powder
 
 
 
Now I have this little time saving thing I do
I have a little block from StudioG
that I have this To & From on
I keep in in my drawer so
when ever I need it I don't have to try to
remember what stamp set it is on just
grab and go
But you can find it on
this is the perfect font
 
 
For I remember it is Easter morn,
And life and love and peace are all new born.

This sweet card set does make me
long for spring. The green with the touch
of pink is a wonderful color combination so happy.
The adorable snail fits perfectly with the
