Re-constructed Easter card

Have you guys seen the Hallmark line of cards that are made to look like they were made by hand?  Obviously, they're not the stuff that all of us create... you can still see that they're partly mass produced with factory machines.  But last year my MIL sent us one of those cards for Easter.  I thought the pop-dotted eggs were cute, so I saved the card to re-constuct one this year... AND THEN I SENT IT BACK TO HER! Lol!!!

I just cut out the panel with the eggs.  The Happy Easter "stamp" was already printed on there.  I added a white card base, some SU Rich Razzleberry card stock and paper, and a Crushed Curry polka dotted ribbon.  The colors matched the eggs perfectly. :)  Wish I took a picture of the "before" card.

Easter for the kids

I try to make something for my students at every major holiday.  Easter is no exception!  I figure I gave them a lot of candy for St. Pattys and for Valentine's so I was on the hunt for pencils and erasers.  Found some cute ones at our "dollar store" (everything is MORE than a dollar. LOL!) and packaged them up:

Used SU cello bags to hold the pencil.  

The topper is just super simple.  A SU stamp, SU punches, and a little Easter eraser added with a glue dot.  I should have no more excuses of "I didn't do my work because I didn't have a pencil."  >_<

Entering this in the following challenges:

Decorate to Celebrate - Easter

Creative Craft Challenges - Anything but a card

I work with 3 other teachers as well, so I made them this easy goody bag filled with sustaining treats!

Monochromatic Challenge at Party Time Tuesdays!

It's Tuesday!!!!  That means there's a brand spankin' new challenge over at PTT!  This week our challenge is monochrome!

We were lucky enough to be sponsored by Robin's Nest, who gave the craft team beautiful glittered papers and dew drops to work with (they'll be our March long sponsor).  Our digis were sponsored by Spesch, Digi Stamps 4 Joy, and The Stamping Boutique.

Here's my card!

My digi is by The Stamping Boutique.  Isn't she adorable?  Her name is Fairy Cynthia - Easter.  Inked her up with just pink and yellow Copic markers.  Paper is by Robin's Nest.  Not sure if you can see it, but it has a tremendous amount of glitter on it!  :) Everything else is SU except for the stamp.
