The First One....

 Yes.  I have been very busy avoiding any housework that needs to be done today!  What have I been doing, you ask?  Well, I have made 5 easel cards!  I made my first one yesterday and I like to practice a lot so that I can perfect something.  I will show you all 5 over the next few posts, but I'll only show you one of them in this post as I took lot's of pictures...and all the other ones are patriotic! ;)


Here's the first one~



Details~








For these fabulous challenges~






Yes.  Lots of photos!  I chose Pear Pizzaz to go along with my crumb cake this week!  I was thinking some sort of purple, but it just wasn't working with any stamp images, and then I saw this bird stamp from SU! that I've had for quite a while and haven't used and the rest is history!  What do you think?  I rather like it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today--I hope  you come and play along with these amazing challenges!  Happy stamping friends!!! :)

    Pear Pizazz and Crumb cake is a gorgeous combination and you've certainly got my attention because you made an easel card :) What a wonderful combination of challenges. I especially love the double ribbon treatment. Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos.

    I love it Mynnette! I haven't made an easel card for a while as I tend to prefer a simple fold but this gorgeous card is making me want to get crafting! I love the colours and the pretty image. Vicky x

    Why do boring housework when you can create gorgeous cards like this, Mynette?! Wowzers! Never thought to put Pear Pizzazz with Crumb Cake until right now. Love how that combo came together and the easel card shows it off beautifully. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Dynamic Duos! :)
