Egg Hunt

It's Easter morning and the eggs are hidden ...

Cheops knows for each egg he finds there will be a treat inside :-)

We will keep them within his reach ...

Oh, he found the first one!

 

Now, the purple egg ...

 

Finally, the last egg was tucked by the duck.

Mommy, I found them all!

This year Michael and I will share an Easter basket ...
half the sweets means half the calories, but don't touch those peeps - they are mine!
So what's in your Easter basket?

Happy Easter from Cheops!

A Pretty Dress

 
I knew it wouldn't take me long to create another card using the Spellbinders Dress Forms dies.  As I was piecing together the dress it reminded me of playing with paper dolls as a little girl :-)

The scalloped hem dress was put through the Big Shot three times using Blushing Bride, DCWV The Luxury Stack and Kaisercraft English Rose paper.  To make the apron I used the lattice dress die and snipped off the top portion.  A piece of 1/8" satin ribbon creates a pretty belt.  Tiny soft pink rhinestones mimic a necklace with larger rhinestones at the bottom of the apron.  The dress was popped off of the Kaisercraft English Rose paper.  I didn't want to cover up the gorgeous roses at the bottom.  Crinkled seam binding and an angelica rose add a vintage touch.

 
Friend was stamped in VersaMark and embossed with gold embossing powder and a heat gun.  I distressed the Blushing Bride and designer paper then sponged on ColorBox Creamy Brown ink.  Everything was mounted to a natural linen white card.

 
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a fun, crafty day.  I will be linking with Make It Monday.

Cherry Blossoms

The sweet smell of cherry blossoms ...

Cherry tree blossoms create a magical landscape of pink flowers.
