Easter Bunny Topiary

WoooooHoooo!  I actually got a project done in the same month the holiday was in!  This topiary is made out of a medium foam ball and a medium foam egg.  I covered it with OVER 500 little flowers cut from my cricut!  I used the following carts: George & Basic: Ears, eyes and nose, Accent Essentials: flowers, Gypsy font: comma (for arms), Sesame Street font.  The "Easter" paper and carrot are from Canvas Corp.

Book of Shadows

I made this book over the weekend also.  I saw it on www.paperphenomenon.blogspot.com.



Haunted House

I went to a local retreat put on by www.croppintrain.blogspot.com for the weekend.  It was a blast!  I can't wait to go again in November!  A big THANKS! to all the ladies that work so hard to put these retreats on.  I worked on this house with my friend Renee over at www.chasing-bees.blogsot.com (I'm calling you out Renee!  Now post your house so everyone can see how awesome it is!)  We got the idea from www.paperphenomenon.blogspot.com.  I've been planning on making this house since before Halloween, I have finally gotten around to it.  I'm looking forward to making more projects with Renee, I had an awesome time!  We hope to do a Santa's Workshop in November.  I used cuttin up, chic and scary and happy hauntings, I think.





Mad Lab Invitations

I made these invitations for a sweet little boy's Birthday party!  I used the everyday paper dolls cart and the gears cuttlebug folder.

My Design Team Entry

I finished my entry to become a member on the SSD Design Team.  Hopefully I make it!  I must say, I really didn't love everything in our bag when I started but we had to use a little bit of everything given.  I thought before I started that it would be a major challenge.  I am surprised at how pleased I am with the project.  If I get it back, I will add something to the front (prolly "MY Sweet Pea") and put cute spring pics of baby C in it)  My least favorite paper (the tan damask) is now my favorite!  I bought 4 or 5 extra sheets of brown to create the book.  I also added Tim Holtz vintage photo and shabby shutters inks and a couple of brads.  The base pages of the book are my design.  They all have pockets on every page including a hidden page on the cover (pull the canvas).  I think if I make it on the team it will help me open up to use things/colors I don't normally work with, which I really need to open up more!





Backpack

I made this backpack from a tutorial (I modified it and made it larger.) on www.paperphenomenon.blogspot.com.  I packed it full and managed to fit K-5th (and will fit through 6th) in one book! 







Halloween Basket

Here is another basket I made using the basket pattern from www.paperphenomenon.blogspot.com  The book of spells is made from 2 mini canvas' hinged together.  The bottles are Tim Holtz filled with glitter.
