Hello!
I wish you all a Happy and Blessed Easter Sunday! We've got the kidlets and their twinsters and some dear friends coming for a traditional meal of ham and lamb and lots of other yumminess for which we're very grateful. Would you like my family-favorite recipe for shrimp dip?!
I only managed to make a couple three cards for Easter this year, so this is my Easter card for YOU!

I only managed to make a couple three cards for Easter this year, so this is my Easter card for YOU!
The tulips are from my NBUS "Magnolias for Her" stamp set from Altenew. The leaves wooden stamp is very old and unmarked in my stash. The sediment is from the Waltzingmouse "Compact Sentiments" set. The corner pp is from my stash. The bucket is a NBUS stamp from "Create a Garden set 2" from Rubbernecker onto which I hand-drew a handle.
It's easy to see how I was inspired by the following photo:
This is from the recent challenge at Inspired by All the Little Things. I was really so pleased with my take on the photo, if I do say so myself. Then I was so bummed to find out that the challenge doors had already closed and I was too late to enter. Owell, it was a fun card to make!

I hope to see you all back here on Friday, April Fool's Day when I'll be hosting a fun FLOP HOP featuring BIG FAT CARD BOO BOOS that embarrassed you! I'll have a linky tool and a BIG FAT PRIZE and I hope you can join in the fun! For more detailed information, please go HERE.

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

LOVE your card Darnell . . . and you drew the handle (I can't draw for toffee - but I'd have a jolly good try for fudge - a filling you know) I have my boo boo card all ready! I hope you are having a very lovely Easter! Hazel xx

Happy Easter to you too! x
This is a really beautiful Easter card Darnell and I love the way you have drawn in the handle yourself, and such prettily coloured tulips. Hope you are having a wonderful Easter with your friends and family! x
A gorgeous card, Darnell. I love tulips, a sure sign of spring. Blessings to you and your family on this Easter Sunday!
Beautiful design, very clever match to the inspiration photo. Happy Easters and Hugs, Shirleyxx
Happy Easter! Beautiful card to celebrate. I know you are going to have a wonderful day with your family! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Hugs!
A perfect take on the inspiration. I hope you enjoy a great day with your family, your feast sounds scrumpy. I hear rumours that you're heading to the north west of England this summer. I may have to stalk you! Happy Easter, Cara x
Happy Easter to you and your family, Darnell! Sounds like a fabulous celebration planned for today! We're here at my mom-in-law's; I'm going to attend an Easter service later this morning and this evening, we'll have a 'three of us' ham dinner. My mom is hostessing a family gathering (first time since my dad passed she's done so in her house), and while I'll miss the fun-and-frolic of the kiddos, I'm *still* not ready to face the 'empty' space at the dining room table. I'm feeling kind of a 'tug' in wanting to be two places at once but...mom-in-law is thrilled we're here and that's what matters right. this. minute! Your tulips are gorgeous, in their pretty petals of pink and coral! Here in Kelowna, we're seeing green grass and the first blooms of spring...so pretty! Have a marvelous day, my friend!
Hugs and love~c
What a fabulous take on that image...even to the cloth!! Fabulous...wishing you and yours a very Happy Easter. xx
Awesome Easter card, Darnell, you should be quite proud of yourself! I was very sorry to hear about the passing of Karen and my sympathies to you for losing a valued friend and to her family. Easter Blessings to you and your family today!!

Oh wow, what a great Easter card, but you could use different sentiments and use it for lots of things! Happy Easter!
I hope you had a wonderful Easter with your family. Thanks for this card. It is beautiful and speaks of spring and new beginnings.
Happy Easter, my friend! I also only managed to make a few Easter cards this year! It was just too early! Yours is a wonderful take on the photo! Love that bucket and how you saw that the magnolia buds look like the tulips in the photo!
Hope your dinner was delicious!
Ooooooh, love your card, Darnell! We managed to have a nice Easter dinner with family members here, as well. I am feeling quite a bit better. I plan to work on that card for you tomorrow. :)
This card is so pretty. I love the tulips. I have done the "post my card and found out I was too late" many times. Wishing you a happy Easter.
Happy Belated Easter, hope you had a fun day with your family. Fab Easter card, gorgeous flowers for us all xx
Very beautiful card!
Xoxo Olga
Simple beauty! The triangle detail is decorative and adds something extra to this CAS design.
Happy Easter to you too Darnell : ) I would LOVE your recipe!! bring it on!!
I love how perfectly your card reflects the inspiration photo you used! I mean perfect take!!
Have a great week.

Gorgeous Easter card! We pretty much ignored the fact that it was Easter but finally I told Joe we should partake in some tradition. So we had ham sandwiches. LOL
I looked all over for a photo of my boo boo card but I don't have it. But I can tell the story about it. I'll see if I can come up with an appropriate card for the story.
What an artist! Your hand-drawn handle added such sparkle detail to this pretty bucket of tulips. Love the design layout of your card too. Hope the day with the family was just as pleasant as could be - and that you are feeling tip-top once again! Happy Belated Easter & happy upcoming week. Big hugs & TFS.
Lovely card there D and Happy Easter to you. Sorry I am late.
I hear from a lickle birdie that you are coming over the water!!!! Hope we get to meet up but will have to see my rota and holibobs!!
Hugs
xx
Such a sweet Easter card Darnell!
Hope you enjoyed your Eater Darnell! Your card is extra pretty, love the flowers!
Hope you enjoyed your day as well, Darnell, I was a little under the weather! Or maybe the weather was under me. We did have a nice lunch, my daughter came over...I had her a basket for the first time in years, was she surprised...but then she loves chocolate! Beautiful card,I do love the tulips! Ours did not bloom this year and the daffodils were gone before by end January! Have a wonderful Tuesday!
I've never had lamb before Auntie, but your dinner sounds very good! And of course I want your family-favorite recipe of shrimp dip!!! Your card is gorgeous! I love the pattern paper on your card like that, love that bucket too, I would have never realized that you hand drew the handle on it, it's perfect! You are too talented Auntie. I love the flowers in the bucket too, they fit in there perfectly. That is a great inspirational photo to work from and get inspired and you were inspired so well by it. Hugs, Brenda
Fabulous bucket of tulips, thank you for your greetings Darnell, I love your card and hope you had a fab Easter too, Hugs Gay xx
Sweet card... with a perfect design for that stunning image! Glad you had a nice Easter. Isn't Easter ham the best?!
Darnell...this is so sweet. Love your adorable bucket of beautiful tulips! Hope you had a wonderful Easter with your family!
Seemingly CAS, but so detailed at the same time. such a lovely one layer card! Beautifully executed. I love that you drew in the bucket handle, I would not have guessed it if you hadn't said. It's perfect!
Hope your Easter was just wonderful!
Shanna :)
Happy Easter dear friend! Hope yours was wonderful! Oh my goodness this is a beautiful card and I love your photo!
With so many allergies in our family ,almost everything we serve is pretty much farm to table ,helps keep thins safe.
Beautiful!
Greeatly inspired by the photo. I love your take on it. Happy belated Easter wishes. Counting down the sleep overs! Hugs Mrs A.
A gorgeous take on the challenge photo, Darnell, and I hate when I'm too late to enter a card! Happens way too often...
This is a lovely card. I really like the stamped image. It is such a great take on the photo inspiration.
Your BOO Boo challenge seems like fun. My most likely mistake (made over and over) is adhering the topper or matted image upside down on the card base!
I love your layout and it is a spot on card from the sketch!
How did I manage to miss this my friend. A fabulous take on the inspiration photo. I love those pretty tulips that are coloured beautifully. See you on April Fools Day, no fooling!
Darnell, this card is such a gorgeous take on the challenge photo. Perfection!
Thank you for this wonderful bucket of beautiful tulips, Darnell ... what a shame Mr Linky had closed his doors ... it's such a perfect take on the inspiration ... WWCD IMHO! Hope you had the most splendid and blessed Easter! Hugs & bisous, Anita :)
Incredible take on the inspiration photo, my friend! You should be pleased with yourself! So glad you were up to company for Easter & hope you continue to feel better & better! Hugs, Greta
Pretty card, Darnell, Hope your Easter was as special as you are...
