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!!!

Just Add Ink Challenge #8

It's getting closer... Easter that is!

Of course the supermarkets have been SCREAMING it load and clear with the arrival of Hot Cross Buns and Easter treats galore for a long time now!!
So with that in mind the fabulous team over at Just Add INK have challenged us to do an Easter theme project. How wonderful that only last night at my Paper Dolls Stamp club that, that was the exact thing that I too was talking about.....
Here is my Easter Basket, made with inspiration from the new DSP that is coming out in the Autumn Mini (only 19 more sleeps!!) The colours are Orchid Opulence, Old Olive and the new and very groovy Rich Razzleberry!!


As you can see there is no Rich Razzleberry to be seen... WHY?? Do you ask, well because my pack of new pre-order goodies have not arrived yet (possibly because I've not ordered them yet, but I will!!) but the colours work so fabulously together!!
Here is a close up of the tag and detailed edge

I first saw this little basket last Easter over at Alisa Tilsner's blog but I can't find the exact place now it's been so long!
Let me know if you'd like the instructions, I'd be more than happy to post them at a later date!
Smiles and hugs Sharnee :0)
