Bunny Basket

Welcome.  I  hope you're enjoying all the amazing projects by the DT.  You should have arrived here from Kitty's blog. If not, you need to go back to the beginning here and follow along.
As you know this month's challenge is to "Reuse and Recycle" something on your project.  And use the Tic Tac Toe board.
You know how it works.  Use 3 squares in a row, Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal. If you use the left to right diagonal, you need to use 3 recycled items.


I got a little ambitious this time and used all the items. (except I really only "reused" 1 item and left over paper from a previous project)  The left over paper was from a pair of cards I made awhile back.

And my "Reused" item is a section of a egg carton.

Here is what I created.

I cut the foam egg carton to hold the 6 eggs and made the box from foam core.  I adhered the glitter to the buttons with Glossy Accents.  I popped up the image on homemade light purple foam squares.
This was a fun project. It's always good to be able to use stuff that you have laying around.  Hopefully you'll join in the fun and create something for the challenge. And don't forget to comment on all of the DT's blogs.  You could win some of these new images.

After you comment, head on over to Jacki's blog and see what shes created. If you get lost along the way, here's the full list.

Bailey Bunny


Do you know who the Easter Bunny's newest helper is?  It's Bailey at Hambo Stamps.  And he made this week's challenge at the Hambo Hoedown (here) to use "weaving" on your project.  If you play along and use a Hambo stamp on your project, you get the next week's image FREE.

Stuff I Used:
Image-"Bailey Easter" digital image by Hambo Stamps
Colored with Copics
B91, B41, R32, E31, E33, C1, C3, BG15, Y08, RV06
DP-DCWV Prints for the Year Ultimate Stack
Card stock-Prints for the Year Ultimate Stack
Faux stiching-Gelly roll white gel pen

I cut 1/4" strips of the DP and wove them to create the background.  I also used my Fiskars corrugater to create the woven design on the 2 yellow strips.  I popped up Bailey on homemade foam squares. I used one of the sentiments that came with Bailey on the inside. And put a small Bailey bunny inside also.
The layout is based on Split Coast Stampers Wed card sketch #429

Well if Bailey wants to get all those bones dyed in time for Easter, he better get hoppin'.

Thanx for looking and please comment and follow.
Happy Easter.

Easter Scene


Wow 2 posts in 1 day! I need to spread these out. This time it's my card for {Pin}spirational Challenge #49. http://pinspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com/2013/03/pinspirational-challenge-49.html
So much fun to use a pic every week as inspiration.  This week the pic looked like this:

Source: bhg.com via Deanne on Pintrest
And here is my take on the pic:




close up of Stickles and popped up egg

Stuff I Used:
Image-Scene it Easter digi by Bugaboo Stamps
Colored with Copics
Y13, Y15, Y17, YR04, YR07, C1, C3, C5, RV13, RV19, BV02, BV04, YG03, YG06
DP-DCWV the Glitter Mat Stack
Cardstock-Recollections
Corner punch-Fiskars 3 sided Flowers, 1/4" corner rounder
Stickles-Stardust
Ribbon-Just Enough 3 pack Spring
Foam egg-Holiday Inspirations Easter

I popped up the image on homemade foam squares and the egg up on more squares. And I was going through stuff and I found some Stickles.  So I thought... Let's add some sparkle to the big egg's dots and the little egg's stripe to match the glitter on the DP.

This was a fun card to create.  Can't wait to see what next week's inspiration pic.  In the mean time, I'm off to find more of one of  my official favorite Easter staples.....Peeps!

Easter Bunny


It's that time for one of my favorite foods. PEEPS!  Only 1 week 'til Easter.  This week at the Hambo Hoedown the image was a great bunny with a chick and basket. I love their site. http://hambochallenges.blogspot.com/
If you play along and use a Hambo image, you get the next image for free.
This week's challenge was to use your favorite embellishments. So I used buttons with embroidery floss, ribbon, faux stitching, and foam squares.
