Happy Easter - Easter Lamb

 

Here is the card design I made for my Easter cards this year! So simple and cute with a chick (FREE stamp set with Sale-a-bration at the moment!!) and lamb!

 

 

I love the touch of burlap ribbon and the sparkle on the lamb with the glitter brush! Even the children made a few of these and some tags to match too!
Happy Easter to you all,

Perfectly Rustics challenge #44 - Eggs

Can you believe how close that Easter is?? WOW it's really just around the corner..... so with a fun theme to work with (I've always loved themes....) We at Perfectly Rustics are challenging you to come up with a project using.... EGGS!!

I wanted to make a gift bag tag, ready for those yummy delights that soon we will ALL be eating and with the help of my sweet little Ester (she made the chickie) we came up with this!

I do enjoy a bit of punch art, this one works a treat for Easter don't you think??
I also made a little box/bag thingy (with the wonderful envelope board) found HERE! LOVE how cute it is!!! I demonstrated these two projects for my Mother/Child class I'm running each month. Everyone LOVED these projects and now their Easter goodies will not only taste yummo but look great too!!

 

So what will you do with the challenge?? Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!

Just Add Ink #210 & SUO #94 - An Easter card in a box

With a new fun technique to play with I wanted to make an Easter card in a box and at the moment Just Add Ink's latest challenge is add an Easter box or basket and SUO is all about Easter too!!!
(hopefully the card in a box is allowed over at JAI?!?!.....)
I'm loving the colour combo of the Fresh prints DSP in the current mini so with Real red, Pool party and whisper white I came up with this Easter box card.

I've been playing with making some kind of frame for a main embellishment or stamped image, this one I've created using the oval embossing folder, cut out the middle and tore around the edge. The Easter egg is made from one of the elegant stamps in the Lovely Romance stamp set which I clear embossed. (though if you look closely you can see some speckles of white which must of got mixed into my clear!!!) I then used the PERFECT EGG DIE from the Backyard basics Framelits set!! YAY!!

I wanted to create a different background than that of the DSP so chose the sweet doily, cutting down on the two sides to slip it down the box a little more!
I know I'll be making LOADS more of these types of card/boxes, they are soooo much fun!! Do check out what the fabbo ladies at JAI  and SUO have made, they always have the most amazing, inspiring things to get those creative juices flowing!!!!

Perfectly Rustics challenge #20 - Golden Easter

 

 It wont be long before Easter is upon us so to get you thinking and creating we have come up with a challenge all about Easter with touches of GOLD!! That's right make a Easter themed project and make sure you include GOLD to join us at Perfectly Rustics this time!! I made a scrap page of our amazing treasures ready and waiting for Easter to come!

 

 I have made some 3D eggs and added my touches of GOLD with flowers!

The eggs are really easy by just punching out 4 ovals and keeping one flat, fold the other 3 in half and then stick them all together!! A 3D egg, just like that!!

The DSP I used is retired as is the alphabet set but the colours are Pink pirouette and Soft sky! I hope we inspire you to join in with us, can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Happy Easter!

Hello!
Happy Easter!!
He is Risen!!!
It's a very special day for my family and I, the day when we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead to save US (mankind) from our sins and give us eternal life with Him if we receive it!! Church was full of really great "Power in the Blood", (one of my Dad's favourite's, I could totally picture Him singing it!!) "He is risen" and "conquered the Grave" songs, followed with chocolate eggs, sunny sunshine, Hot cross buns and family time!

For my Easter gifts this year I made some Chocolate brownies, a recipe tried and true from my beautiful, wonderful friend Carli (HUGE HELLO'S to you sweet lady!) whose husband had some scrummy one's in the US and so began the hunt for the perfect brownie recipe!!! I'm telling you these chocolate goodies are hard to resist and the perfect gift at Easter!!
If you know me at all you'll know that I'm BIG on packaging so here are the boxes I gave the brownie goodness in......

How cute is that little egg basket?? I saw that HERE at Sarah's blog, soooooo clever!!!
I do hope you've had a wonderful day, meaningful and restful with a little chocolate too!!!
