Eggs-tra Scary! & Easter Cones {Cosmo Cricket: Togetherness}

Happy Easter! I just wanted to share a layout I worked on this week - the picture was taken just a couple of week ago and I think it's great that I have one smiling and one screaming ;) Thanks to Suzanne for help with the title! I used a PageMaps sketch from February. I'm not super thrilled with my stamping or sewing but I thought overall it was super cute :-)

 I made these for teacher gifts & stuffed them full of candy. I saw the idea here and changed just a couple of things but they were a big hit. The carrot was SUPER easy to make as you didn't have to embellish with anything except green grass and ribbon ;)

Thanks for stopping by & I hope you are all having a great weekend :)

Rainy Days - Accordion Book Foldout

We had some bad weather in the area Friday and Saturday. It didn't really hit us hard until Saturday but the warnings were bad enough to keep me inside both days. Since it looked like this: I was able to stay inside and get some scrapping done! Here is the two page layout:

The first wagon is actually an accordion book that has 6 pages when you open it...

This was such an easy way to get lots of pictures on the layout!

It was one of the kits from this month's book club and I just copied it from the book making only a couple of minor changes. It still took several days to complete since I can't devote any long stretch of time to sitting at my craft table...and I'm still struggling with napping or scrapping ;) It was also a lot of punching and cutting out - I think my scissors hand needs a break!

Milk Carton Bunny Easter Basket

Look at me! One week after major surgery and I'm posting again ;) But I have to admit this is NOT a craft that I made.

My 3 year old's preschool teachers made these baskets for the kids. I think they are adorable. Such a cute idea if you're looking for something to do with kids. She was so excited to have it (and not just because there was candy in the eggs!). She was most excited about the soccer egg since she is playing soccer now. I guess I will be running out this weekend trying to find some soccer eggs...
