I am desperate for winter to end here in Boston. We have had over 3 feet of snow dumped on us in the past few weeks so am I desperately waiting for the first signs of spring now. Until that happens, I will color springy images. I colored up "Easter Bunny by Sylvia Zet for Whimsy Stamps" for this challenge.
bunny - C2, C1, C00, R20, R30
chick - Y26,Y23, Y21, YR18
egg - YG13, YG11, Y26,Y23, Y21, C2, C1, C00
stool - E35, E23, E31
ground - E44, E3, E41
Ready to play? There are only 2 rules to follow to be eligible for the $20 gift certificate to the store:
1) Use a stamped image carried in the 7 KIDS store, or, if your project does not have a stamped image, all primary elements (dies, paper, punches) must be carried in the store.

Yep! You read right! There are soon be released NEW Stamping Bella images....NINE of them to be exact! Some new Uptown Girls, some new Mo Manning, AND a brand new line of stamps called the "Dudas!" You are going to LOVE them!
Today I am sneak peeking of the soon to be released Mo Manning for Stamping Bella images!
Can you stand it?! How cute is that little guy with little round belly? Now, this stamp set does not come with a sentiment, but I thought this sentiment by A Muse Artstamps was a perfect match. I don't even think they sell it any more. I couldn't find it on the A Muse Artstamps website. BUT, you can always generate a sentiment from your computer or pair it with a sentiment from your stash. I used some Bazzill Card Shoppe marshmallow, licorice twist, and whirly pop CS and paired it with a strip of PP from the Echo Park For the Record 2 Documented 6x6 paper pad.

Happy Monday! (insert groan here) Well, the good thing about Monday is that there is a new There She Goes challenge ready for you to tackle. This week our challenge is brought to us by Jessie! She is asking you to CASE your favorite card by a Trendsetter!! If you aren’t familiar with CASEing, just pick a favorite card by a Trendsetter, and use it to create a card of your own inspired by theirs, but different in some way!
My card was inspired by THIS CARD created by our ridonkulously talented Trendsetter Sandra MacLean.
LOVE this card of hers! I was inspired to fussy cut my image, to layer it over the panel with the cut out, and the clouds.
Ready to play? Head over to the TSG Blog to link up your entry!
To be eligible for the giveaway, create a card or project by CASEing any card by a Trendsetter. You can find the list of Trendsetters on the TSG blog's side bar.

Today the designer for the 7 Kids College Fund are bringing you a blog hop filled with crafty inspiration featuring the Tim Holtz Idea-ology line.

camera - C7-C5-C3, R17, YR23, clear star Gelly Roll pen
I went over the sentiment with a back glaze pen to add some pop. You can find all of the supplies I used from the 7 Kids College Fund Store by clicking on the graphics below.
