You're Egg-stra Special (& New Horizons Class April 23!)

4/15/2022

Oh, yum - check out this sweet tray of Easter cookies at this month's If You Give Crafter a Cookie #167! So pretty!
I knew right away I had to go back to 2017's Basket Bunch for this one - this row of fun Easter eggs can't be beat! I made up a festive panel and went to town with my Blends Markers coloring - so fun! I found this pretty checked sheet for my background in the Pansy Petals DSP, which had Soft Sea Foam as one of the coordinating colors, so that's how I picked my green, lol. I even slipped in some "grass" along one edge from the Basket Builder dies! I need a snack, now...

Fusion Bunny

Wow, a darling combo at this week's Fusion "cloth bunnies" challenge!
So glad I get to bring out my fave bunny of all time this year - 2010's Chocolate Bunny single, lol. He was so annoyed that the other ones were horning in on his turf last week! I managed to float him over a version of the sketch, too, AND, will wonders never cease, I actually used a DOILY! The pack just happened to be unburied form my desk debris at just the right time! I kept everything else fairly simple, but couldn't resist finishing with my Brushed Metallic Dots - love these embellies!

OK, this is a tough one! Cardz 4 Guyz #292 wants us to celebrate Spring Equinox - help!
I had to go look it up, to see if there were any particular symbols for Spring Equinox I could use, lol. Besides eggs, the rabbit or hare is also a symbol for Spring. Excellent, chocolate bunnies all 'round! Lol. I actually don't have to many rabbits, and my fave of the bunch was this startled looking fellow from 2017's Basket Bunch - tasty! I did a little collection of chocolates, using an array of our new Naturals Blends - such a great range! I once again floated everything over my beloved In Good Taste DSP - so fitting, lol.

Check out our Spring Flowers theme at this week's As You See It #270!
So, even though it's a little bit of a "gimme" with our pretty inspiration pic, I HAD to go with our gorgeous Daffodil Daydream set for this one, lol. I love coloring in these beauties! I also wanted to make myself use one of the darker sheets in the Sale-A-Bration DSP pack we had that goes with it - I was so intimidated by them, but I was determined to break out! I'm actually really happy with how this looks, and it was good to slip in a little Easter sentiment, too!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this one - meet you there!

Such a lovely pic for this week's Easter theme at As You See It #246 - yum!
So, I love me a chocolate bunny, and yes, I ADORE marshmallow chicks, I can not tell a lie, lol, but I decided to reflect a bit on a different meaning for the holiday. Yes, we know so much more this year than we did this time last year, and we're finally getting closer to being able to gather together a bit more, but I'll miss being with my church family for the second year in a row - such a time of celebration for us! I know we'll get there - this is the Easter of hope for me...

Easter Wreath

Fusion has a lovely match-up for us today called "Easter Eggs" - love this country look!
Every time I see an Easter theme, I think I'll have to go through my retired shelves for something good - which I love to do, don't get me wrong, lol. But I keep getting reminded - Arrange a Wreath has Easter accessories, too, for a cute Easter wreath! So I finally did one today. I couldn't resist matching it with this fun DSP sheet from Playing With Patterns, I love all the colors! So I did up all my eggs to match. AT the last second, I realized I could fit in a little leaf ring for my wreath, too - yay! My proportions might be a little wonky, but I think I actually worked both sides of the Fusion today!

Perfect timing - Inspire Create Challenge #066 has an Easter challenge for us this week!
I ended up doing a blend of old and new for this one - I don't have much that's current in the way of Easter sets, and the classic goodies I do have still have a hold on my heart, lol. Take Chocolate Bunny - he's just too yummy and too sweet to give up! And Basket Bunch has so many fun shapes and dies - I use it for more that Easter, really! And look at this sweet sentiment hiding in our old Suite Sentiments set - perfect! I added some pretty paper and fun die shapes and I was all set! Hope your Easter was truly blessed!

I hope you like our fresh Spring colors this week at Sunday Stamps #227 - I sure do!
I decided to go back to my 2017 Basket Bunch bundle for this one - so many little pieces to play with and arrange - I tried to hold myself back a little for you, lol. A simple basket with Spring-y eggs and a sweet bunny were all we needed! So glad we have our Blends back for coloring!
I can't wait to see what YOU do with these fun colors - see you over at the challenge!

Rainbow Peeps

Sunny days ahead! Retro Rubber #108 is bringing on the rainbow!
So how about those peeps?? 'Tis the season! My little secret vice (if I still ate sugar - whew!) is actually marshmallow peeps. Don't get me wrong, I do like the chicks, too, especially when they're dipped in chocolate on the bottom - that's the only king I like fresh! The best way is to actually rip open the package a little and let them dry out just a tad, so all the sugar coating is nice and crunchy - you can practically FEEL your teeth rotting in your head!! Anyway, I also like the marshmallow bunnies, and that they come in all the fun colors. Today I made them in all our new brights - the NEW SU! rainbow, lol. Maybe I should make a peep wreath since I don't eat them anymore, so I can at least have them around, lol. The javalinas would LOVE that!

Oo, fun bottom-heavy sketch at this week's Case This Sketch#264! I think I'll add in Global Design Project #131's Easter theme, too!
So, my avid readers may have noticed something about my lack of Easter cards this year. Don't tell anyone, but I didn't get ANY of the Easter sets this year {GASP!} Eh, they just didn't grab me, though really, last year's awesome Basket Bunch is pretty hard to beat. So, since I was going for something retired ANYWAY, I went even further back to this simple and elegant set from 2012, Take Care. I love playing with the pretty branch and nest, and the simple "Blessings" can be used in so many ways. I figure the little eggs in the nest are perfect for Easter!
