When I was a kid about a hundred years ago...okay, 40 years, we used to say "Pretty please with cherries on top?" It meant we reeeally needed a favor, like super needed it, and if you were me, your sister was balking at helping you out....so you needed to make it a really important please. And of course, the ultimate request was, "Pretty please with cherries and whipped cream on top?" And sometimes, it worked and my sister would actually turn the tv (no remotes at my house) or bring me a glass of kool-aid. Maybe.
Today I'm sharing a cherry card with a digi stamp from Power Poppy, the ultimate place for nature stamps imo. You can get the acrylic stamps too (and I have some) but the digitals are super nice when you need something to color right now. I colored this cherry stamp with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut it and put it on a matching red background.
The checkerboard paper is Graphic 45 and I inked the edges with Candied Apple Distress Ink. I added teal and red sequins and a sentiment from My Favorite Things. I'm entering this in the Think Spring Challenge at Power Poppy and you can enter here too! The blossoms are coming on the flowering trees and it's a pretty sight. No cherries for awhile, but they are budding! I looovve seeing the plants green up and the buds on the trees. Winter can be long but the Spring is definitely all the more welcome because of it.
Happy Easter Weekend!

I'm adding a second entry to the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop, which has been all kinds of fun. Who knew there were so many coffee-related crafty items and so many ideas? Many thanks to Amy and Chitra for organizing and making a great website. Join in if you have time today!
My second entry features Prima Marketing Coffee Break papers and teapot. I won the Prima goodies from the Seasonal Coffee Lovers Bloghop in December from my DT pal, Caffeinated Papercuts aka Jennifer. I think I love every single page in this 6x6 pad, so I put as many as I could on here, along with a variety of Prima flowers and pearls from various sources.
Here's a closeup of the little saying. It's part of the paper pack too. You can see all the Coffee Lovers entries on the PInterest page here and it's so fun to browse!
Thanks, again, Jennifer, I love my coffee goodies...although in my case, it's tea! Speaking of which, it may be time for a cuppa.
Happy Friday and Happy Hopping!
