I really like this Heartfelt Creations Grand Portal Cling Stamp Set too! It's one of the new releases also from Heartfelt Creations! I think it'd be really fancy to do a stained glass effect on the top window, with different markers or colored pencils!

I love that card by carol, lots of strong, vibrant colour is just perfect for this time of year. Ok plan for this week is to watch the quail eggs hatch! We have been hatching chickens in a little incubator over the last couple of months, but the last lot Tom put on were 12 quails eggs. The eggs are tiny so I reckon the chicks will be mega cute! And perfect to play with at Easter ;-) Maddy x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards. I'm going to spend Easter with my daughter in Perth Australia. I haven't seen her for over a year and miss her terribly, so looking forward to the trip, even the 7 hour flight to get there, as we are splitting it and spending two days catching up with friends we haven't seen for nearly 23 years. How's that for exciting
