Lambs, Chocolate Bunnies and Easter Chicks...Oh My !

I am having so much fun with my new Cricut Easter 2010 cart...LOVE it!

We are having more people than originally planned for Easter Dinner so I don't have enough Easter napkin rings to go around (they were flower felt ones I made ages ago)...so, I had the brainiac idea tonight to make new ones using shapes from the Easter cart. Lambs, Chocolate Bunnies and Easter Chicks, OH MY !

I hope my family loves the Easter Napkin Ring Holders as much as I do!

Directions for those that are INSPIRED to make this quick Easter project:

I cut the shapes at 5 inches and used a glazed pen to highlight their bows and a 2" X 6" green strip of cardstock rolled up to form a little tube, stapled using Tim's Tiny Attacher and then glue dotted on to the back of the die cut shapes.  Super, super easy and fast ! 

You could easily make these as place holder to depending on the placement of the paper ring.

HOPPY EASTER everyone !

Signs of Spring are EVERYWHERE !

I LOVE Spring Time, don't you?  Most of all I love the colors of spring...greens, pinks,  yellows, blues, purples are exploding in nature everywhere you look.  So INSPIRING !

My eye naturally finds these wonderful spring time colors no matter where I go.  And who could resist creating a special project show casing not only spring time but the most important spring time event, Easter!  Can you believe that Easter is only a few short weeks away?  WOW, this year is going by so fast.

Here is a special Easter Egg shaped mini album I made to showcase a family Easter gathering.  The album in actually an egg shaped corregated/mylar garland that I bought at Jo Ann's Craft and Fabric store.  See you can find inspiration in unusual places too :)  I used my Cricut to cut some of the shapes, American Craft patterned paper, Cuttlebug embossing, various stamps and lots of cute Easter embellishments I have collected. 

Hope this Eggstra-special Mini Album INSPIRES you to make a spring time project soon. I taught this class last year at a local craft store so if you have any questions about putting this project together, please post a comment and I will happily respond.  Have a great week !
