Easter Bunny Milk Carton

Okay, I'm a little early on Easter.  I didn't even look at the calender until a week ago to see when it was.  So I made these about a month ago thinking it would be much sooner than April 20th.  Oh well.  Now all I have to do is fill them with snacks and they will go into the Easter Baskets!

This is the milk carton from Close To My Heart Artiste cricut cartridge.  The bunny I just kind of pieced together using the basic shapes in the CCR (cricut craft room).  As opposed to the Cricut Design Studio.  Which is  whole different tangent I'm going to go into.  I bought the new Cricut Explore because I heard it would cut svg's and true type fonts and be so wonderful.....NOT!  I returned it and I'm still angry.  The Design Studio can't even do the basics like shadow feature the Silhouette Cameo and SCAL can do.  Very disappointing!

Well, back to happy Easter thoughts!

Countdown to the Holidays Small Boards

I have posted these boards before in the large side.  But I had some of my friends that don't have the wall space ask for the smaller version.  So, I busted it out and designed the smaller boards.  Here they are in a 12 X 20 inch size:

Easter Countdown Board

It's been so long since I've posted and I want you to know that I am always in the middle of a project, but I'm terrible at getting them posted.  So here goes.  I'm going to post 5 tonight.  I've been working on a series of "Countdown Boards".  Countdown to:  Easter, Summer, Fourth of July, Back to School, and Halloween are all completed and those are the ones I'll post tonight.  I'm working on Christmas and Thanksgiving.  And Valentines is already completed too, I just cant find the pic, so I'll post that one next time.

I'm going to really try not to go so long in between postings this time!

This first one I'm posting is Easter.  I used the Cricut and my Eclips machine to cut the vinyl for these and most of the vinyl is Oracal that I picked up right here at good ole JoAnn's!

The only Cricut cartridges I used in this one were:
Plantin Schoolbook

The rest are just SVG files I downloaded.

Happy Easter Cake

I made a sunflower PEEP Easter Cake. I wish I could remember where I see some of these things. It obviously was not my creation. But it was yummy! (At least that's what I heard!)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #105

This week's challenge on the Fantabulous Cricut blog is "Egg"cellent...somehow use an egg in your card layout. I found a rooster on the From My Kitchen cartridge and used the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline paper to make this little unconventional easter card. I love the colors, peach, grey and pale yellow.

Mojo Monday Challenge #234

Well, this is my card for the Mojo Monday Challenge. I had such a hard time with this design. Mostly just deciding what to put on it. But I settled on yet another Easter card. Easter is my fave! I used the Straight from the Nest cartridge for this gorgeous little nest! And the circle card came from Birthday Bash. Now I have to walk away from the craft room for the night...AHHHH!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 104

Here's this week's entry in the Monday Challenge for Fantabulous Cricut. I love these milk cartons from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2. I used Gypsy Wanderings for the bunny and the grass is from my most used cartridge, Plantin Schoolbook. I am having so much fun making stuff for Easter, but seriously it is piling up. I'm going to have to start giving it to the neighbors!

The great thing about this project was that I got a chance to drag out my gypsy, which I am still leery about and I learned to use the center cut feature on my cricut! Who knew?

Fresh Strawberries

I had so much fun this weekend with the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge. I think this cartridge is a must have! So, we started with the basket, cut out and tied up some strawberries (cuttlebugged them), and added grass. I'm so tickled with the simplicity of them! What do you think?

Easter Mini Milk Carton

I'm still working on trying to get the lighting right when I take my pictures. I'm having so much fun with the milk cartons and as you can tell, Easter is on the brain! I also love, love, love the fence cut from Paper Doll Dress up.

Mojo Monday Challenge 231

Well, it's Saturday and I'm finally done with my Mojo Monday contest entry (one of my mostest favorite websites). Ewwww! I have Easter on the brain. This is one of my favorite holidays! And are these bunny behinds the cutest or what?

Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge - 3D

Okay, this project is for the Peachy Keen 3-D Challenge. The challenge is to make a 3-D project using Peachy Keen stamps (easy enough), but the kicker for me was to make a weather theme. Now I've been kicking around this project for about a week...I'm getting a head start on Easter. In our house we go through Crystal Light and Wylie's Sugar free juices like they're going out of style. I mean, seriously, we should own stock! And I have all of these left over containers and I never know what to do with them, but, of course, I save them, you know, just in case. So here is my recycled version of an easter basket/container for treats (or peeps)!
I used the Create a Critter for the chick, sun and clouds, Doodle Charms for the eggs, and Plantin Schoolbook for the grass. And of course I used the Cuttlebug for textures. Wish me luck, I want to win this one!
