Here are the March club cards. I hope you will all enjoy them. As you see, there are 6 cards out here. You will actually be making only the normal 5. You will have a choice to make either the toddler girl or toddler boy.
Karen Simon gave me the Cross embossing folder to turn in to a card, so I hope it did it justice. I hope she (and the rest of you) will like it as well! You will notice that it has a lot of "pearls" on the sides of the card. Well, using that many pearls would be too expensive, so I've used a product (liquid pearls), that I purchased for a faux pearl effect. I think it turned out ok! There's nothing like the others, but I think it's a good substitute.
Also, don't look too closely (but now I know you will because I said not to), at the bottom of the graduation card. I ripped a piece of the white embossed honeycomb paper, and tried to "patch" it. Don't any of you try to do this! It looks totally bad. And for once, I've decided I'm not going to change it. Mainly, because I'm not going to send it to anyone, and I'm too darned busy to care about it right now. I also want you all to know that I DO MAKE MISTAKES, and many of them. I'm just real skilled at usually covering them up - except this one!
I wanted to do something a little "funky" with the toddler cards, so I thought of the old nursery rhyme, Ring around the Maypole, (kind of like Ring around the Rosey game), and used several colors of "swinging" ribbon. You will most likely either like it or think it VERY STRANGE. There won't be any in between. If you don't like it, make the ribbons into something else, but I personally think it's different enough to be kind of cool... I must have really been in a strange mood when designing this card too, because I chose to give the bunny a pierced ear and diamond earring. I couldn't find a place for a tatoo, sorry!
See you soon.

Other than the embossed cross, all images are Stampin' Up! and meet (SU! copyright requirements)
I really like the graduation and St. Patrick's day cards. I'm not that crazy about the religious Easter card (mostly because personally I'm not that religious), but it is a pretty card. I also think the other Easter cad is adorable, even if the bunny does have an earring. As always, I'm looking forward to the next meeting.
