The border punch is Martha Stewart's Scalloped Teardrop. I added a piece of self-adhesive sparkly trim across the top of it.
My banner was hand-cut after stamping "Happy Easter" with a CraftSmart stamp.
You can see that I've added a few yellow and blue sequins for extra sparkle.
The inside of my card is pretty simple with a computer-generated sentiment. My perfect 1/16" aqua border was created with my Perfect Layers rulers. I LOVE them, especially for shadow-type mats like this one. I can't hang a picture straight to save my life; I could never adhere a piece of paper straight with a border this narrow!
Speaking of chicks...
Here's one of my favorite 7-year-old peeps who spent last weekend with us. He wanted to make an Easter card for his paternal grandparents, so we went downstairs to my craft area and went to work.
He created some grass for the bunny to stand on with a Fiskars grass border punch. I had a few extra butterflies on hand so he picked some out to embellish the front of his card.
He even stamped the sentiment himself (CraftSmart stamp) at the bottom of the card. Pretty good for a novice stamper, don't you think? His centering skills are near perfect!
Well, that's it for me today. Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Hi Cheryl, love that little chick, so cute and love the cards you made with it.
Your Grandson is so cute. Love that he wanted to make a card, and what a great job he did!! Must have been watching Grandma. His Grandparents are going to be thrilled to receive it.
