So I decided to make a whole slew of Easter projects for ya today---pinwheels, Easter Egg holders and notecards! I used H&M Stamps new set "Eggstra Special" designed by my friend Debbie Corbari--it's a fun & cute set for sure, love it! The dp and cs I used is all from Stampin' Up and I colored w/ Copics and added stickles to all my images!
I think pinwheels are such a fun project--I used to make these with the kids when they were "much" smaller & hadn't done them in awhile. Quick & easy to make & such a pretty Spring project. You can make bunches of these as favors for kids or like I did just to be pretty in a container. The only difference with mine is I didn't pull the center all the way thru w/ a brad because I liked them fuller (so mine don't spin)! If you're looking for easy directions to make these you can go HERE!
These fun Easter egg holders are made super quick. A length of dp folded into a circle & secured with scor-tape. I cut my images out with oval nesties, adhered them to more dp and attached to the holders with more scor-tape. I added a lil' bow to my bunny cuz' I thought she needed some blue on her :o) These would be so fun on your Easter table on Easter morning or for brunch & dinner too, hee hee!
And I couldn't not make some cards to match. These are really easy, but so pretty! I just took my white cs (4x5) and embossed with my rectangle nesties. Then I cut out 3 rectangles of cs from my white cs to emboss with the CB folder (swiss dots)--those got attached to the centers of the card. More fun images on top of that pretty SU dp and pearls at the bottom. I left off sentiments so they could be for any Spring occassion you needed! The border I used around my images is from PTI's "Spring Tag Collection" (just lovee that set)
Hope you enjoyed my projects today, now make sure and "HOP" around the rest of the DT gals blogs today!

BTW, I had a blast at my pal Marti's house last nite (waving "hi")--didn't get home until midnite and got some new goodies to play with too :o) I also got to meet up with Tiffaney (Inkling 2 Stamp) whom I've only known thru blog and Amy Scheffer (Pickled Paper Designs) which was great! Today we're off to IKEA and then to see "Escape From Witch Mountain" at the movies with the kids--that was my FAVORITE movie when I was much, much younger, hee hee!
Enjoy your Sunday--
