Sweet November March 2014 Preview - Hoppy Easter and Two Farewells

Hi all!  Welcome to the Sweet November March 2014 Preview.  Amy has created an adorable set of four Easter rabbits entitled, Bunny Tails.  I've used one of the images on a card.  You'll need to check out Amy's blog and the CC Designs blog to see the other three cute little bunnies!  I chose the rabbit sitting with an Easter Egg for my card.  Isn't he sweet?  The dotted background paper is from the new Doodlebug pad, Springtime.





And now for a few farewells.  The first of the farewells is to Amy.  Amy is stepping away from designing, and ending her Sweet November line of stamps.  How do I even express the sadness I feel knowing such a talent is no longer going to be shared with others?  Amy's was the first card blog I ever visited.  I fell in love with her amazing coloring and card layouts.  And when I discovered she was also a stamp designer...well, I became a devoted fan.  Her images are cute, joyful, and fun to color.  Imagine my delight when she asked me to be a Sweet November Gal and craft cards with her images!  My hope is Amy will become a book author and illustrator and continue to share her stories and drawings with us.  (If she does, I'll get to tell my grandchildren, "I knew her when...")  So dear Amy, I have relished my small part in your journey, and look forward to seeing where your path takes you in the future!

And the second farewell.  I'm stepping away from this blog.  I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here, and thank you to everyone who visited and left sweet comments!  I will miss you all, especially Amy and my former teammates from the Outlawz...Carla, Dawn, Linda, Penny, and Jen...you ladies are the best!  And I apologize to the ladies at From the Heart Stamps...I never really had the opportunity to get to know you.  A special shout out also goes to Mary J, Pam Sparks, Lau, Krista, and Mo for their encouragement and technical assistance.  My decision to step away was not an easy one, but I am at peace with my choice.  Thank you for all the inspiration and support you've given me over the past nearly two years.  What a fun ride it has been!

  12. My dear Tress, these little bunny cards of yours are absolutely darling... your first card is so bright and cheery with that new Doodlebug paper and I love how you created multiple butterflies for the second bunny to chase. It is that creativity of yours that I will miss so much. Thank you not only for sharing your talents with the Sweet November team but also for being such an encouraging and wonderful friend! Take care, enjoy time with the fam and if you ever do find yourself coming back to crafting you know we'll be here happy to see you again. :)
    Big huge hugs my friend!

  17. Hi Tress! The journey does come with twists and turns doesn't it?! One nice thing about color book therapy and stamping is we can pick it back up anytime. Your bunny cards are adorable…make a gal smile! All the best to you and yours! Take care!
