Wasabi Peas

Many photos today :) Hope you don't mind seeing a few.

First off, I tried to get some crafting done yesterday but instead I grabbed the cleaners and did a good spring cleaning to a few rooms in the house.

So here I am today - I have been crafting all morning. I have one project to share with you and the rest, well, you will have to wait :)

Today's Challenges: 1. The ABC Challenge would like to see "Paper Piecing." This is my first time trying this technique - it was a bit nerve racking.

2. Charisma Cardz Challenge would like to see "Fairies."

3. Simon Says Challenge would like to see "Feminine (or Mother's Day)." Mother's Day isn't until May 9th here in Canada and I am just not that far ahead LOL. With the help of the internet I found out that the UK celebrates Mother's Day March 14th this year. (I love learning new things.)

4. Stampin' Royalty has a inspirational photo:

5. Frosted Designs would like to see "My Favorite Technique." My absolute FAV technique is paper layering (or a whole schwack load of paper piling in my case). And I wonder why my cards can get so darn heavy!

{I have 8 layers on this side including the card itself. In total though, I have 13 on the other side}

6. Unscripted Sketches has another great sketch up this week:

7. Crazy 4 Challenges would like to see "Paper Piercing."

And here is my final project:

Card Ingredients: My Mind's Eye Home papers; Bazzill and Recollections cardstock; DigiStamp Boutique image; Stampendous! stamp; Craft Smart Black ink; Copic and Le Plume 2 Markers; Stampendous! Kaleidoscope embossing powder; Celebrate It ribbon; random button, twine and sewing machine.

**Wait, there is more!**

I had to show this off :) My friend travelled to England a few weeks ago and bought me a very early birthday gift from Birmingham.

What a GREAT tea mug!!!!!

I am a HUGE fan of Tim Burton. I LOVE it when he teams up with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (they were also in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory together). Anyhoooo... I am off to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D in an hour so I better go get ready. This is going to be the best movie EVER!!!!!!!!

Happy Sunday!!!! Hope you all had a great weekend!
