Hoppy Spring

I am hoping it is spring where ever you are because it sure is not spring here.  Cold and rain.  I created some cards using my Silhouette Cameo this week.  This cutie is a bunny that is cut in 2 pieces and layered. 

I found this cute Spring paper at Hobby Lobby. I wish I had gotten more.  It has all kinds of spring words.  These cards were so simple. 2 cuts and I was done.  I purchased the bunny from the Silhouette store. 

Here is another card created from a cut file I purchased at the Silhouette store.  I call it Bunny Behinds.  

The original was small so I just edited it to make it bigger. 

In my last post I talked about the year long pay it forward challenge I am doing for my family.  March everyone needed to recycle and reuse.  Donate to a charity, pick up garbage along the road or anything they could think of that would be repurposing. Many of you had requested to see my monthly project.  I talked about the family pay it forward challenge HERE. This was one of my March  repurpose project.  

I sent this to my daughter's boyfriend.  It is a recycled plastic jar that had fruit in it.  There are 4 bags of jelly beans and the same bunny from my card.  I sent it to him and he thoroughly enjoyed.  

Hope you are having a fantastic day where ever you may be.  

Random Acts of Kindness

This year I took on a big family project.  We are calling it the Pay It Forward monthly event.   Each month I come up with a RAK and send all the details to my family.  I am miles away from home so it has been a fun way to keep in contact.  January was find a pretty bottle and add $5 each month until Christmas.  We will then all pool our money together for a needy family.  February I sent them all a cookie cutter and cookie mix.  They had to bake cookies and give them to a nonrelative.  March was green month.  Recycle anything.  :)  I chose to recycle a large plastic jug filled with jelly beans I sent to my daughter.  I will show pictures next week.  This next month is going to be "for the birds"  I have a recipe for Suet or a toilet paper tube covered in bird seed and peanut butter.  So I created this birdie post card to send with the instructions.  

I stamped the birds on watercolor paper and colored with watercolor markers.  Then I stamped the birds again and colored with Copics, cut them out and popped them up.

I stamped a postcard stamp I got from Hobby Lobby.  It is made my Penny Black but I was very disappointed in it.  No matter how I stamped it would not give me a good impression.  So frustrating as it was not a cheap stamp.  I attached it to the back of my postcards. 

Here is another one I created.  Just a hodge podge of background colors. I am not as happy with this one but didn't want all my hard work to go to waste.  I can't tell you where either of these stamps came from.  I was cleaning out my boxes and came upon the Chickadee one and the Blue Jay one was a gift from my friend.  I am hoping they enjoy them.  I have 7 families participating so it was a lot of work to color them all. I love the way they turned out.  My photography is lacking these days so in real life they are much better. 

Speaking of birds.  These ugly birds were migrating through NC this last week.  There were 20 of them in the trees next to my house.  I do not like them at all. I call them turkey vultures.  They are so ugly.  LOL

Hope you are all having a great week.  I will be back with more soon.  If you have a chance to do the Teapot Tuesday challenge over on Splitcoaststampers this week it is my friend Linda that is the recipient.  She could use a little sunshine in her mailbox.
