Here in New Zealand, we enjoyed a long weekend — the perfect excuse to break open my recently arrived Paper Pumpkin Kit!  This one is the Lakeside Retreat Kit, and it is fabulous, with outdoor-inspired imagery that works beautifully for masculine and gender-neutral greeting cards for all sorts of occasions.

Today, on ANZAC Day, we pause to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of all New Zealanders and Australians who have served their countries in war, conflict, and peacekeeping operations.  This day marks the anniversary of the landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli in 1915, and has become a time to reflect on all who gave so much in the service of others.

We remember those who lost their lives, those who returned changed forever, and those who continue to serve today.

Lest we forget.
We will remember them.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and I have a lovely card idea to share with you—featuring the stunning Pop-Up Petals Bundle paired with the soon-to-retire Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.

Creating bright, playful projects for children is always so much fun, so I’m excited to be joining the Creativity Abounds Design Team this month as we share our Kids Projects Tutorial Bundle.

If you’re looking for something fun, playful, and just downright adorable, the Cutest Crew Bundle is going to steal your heart!  I used the charming animal characters to create this fabulous fun-fold card.

Have you checked out the Kits Collection recently?  There is such a wonderful variety available — cards for any occasion, simple scrapbooking layouts, gift ideas, and home décor.  It’s that last category that I especially love, and the Radiant Reminders Kit is a perfect example.

At the end of last month, I hosted our bi-monthly Scrapbooking Escape, and we spent the day creating with the beautiful Currently Loving Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.  It was such a fun, relaxed day of creativity!  Today I’m sharing one of the three double-page layouts I completed.

Easter is a beautiful reminder of love, sacrifice, and the promise of new life. Through it, we are given hope that carries us forward, even in uncertain times.

May this Easter bring peace, joy, and renewed hope to you and your family.

Ngā mihi o te Aranga
HAPPY EASTER!
