Hi Everyone,
Easter is just around the corner, so I have been making easter treat holders with idea’s from Pinterest 🙂
There are long skinny ones, short milk cartony ones and pillow boxes with bunnies and grass…
I have a list of things to make and do as long as my arm… so I will need to get a move one 🙂
Hope to blog a lot of it all very soon

Hi Everyone!..
Happy Saturday to you all 😀
I have a wee pink egg house to share with you today, this is the first of 2 that I have to share, I still have the other one to decorate…
Supplies List..
I painted the whole house white first so that it did not alter the colour of the blush paint… left the inside white
Hope you liked today’s project.. I also finished my G45 Safari Adventure mini album today too.. I will take photo’s of that tonight and do the blog post tomorrow
As always, thanks for popping round

Hi Everyone!
I have moved back into my shed today YAY!..
I had problems with moisture in one of the sockets, so I had to wait for a couple of dry days to dry my shed out and today the sockets finally worked without tripping the house lol..
So the heaters have been on all day full blast… so while I was up there I had a good old tidy up and sort out, and it feels good to have a clean work space again..
Today’s wee project is tiny milk cartons that hold tiny chocolate easter eggs.. these are cute, and they are also for an upcoming workshop at Stampers Grove, on April 1st, I’ll leave the details at the bottom of this post if you fancy joining us..
I also made some from my jelly print papers too
There will be a couple more projects to make at the workshop, and I am working on these at the moment 😉
If you are in Edinburgh Saturday 1st April, and fancy some easter treat holders, you can call James or Emma to book a space on 0131 221 9440 or pop into 92 Grove St, Edinburgh EH3 8AF.
As always, thanks for popping in

Easter Everywhere {poem}
Rabbits soft and cuddly
Baby chickens, too.

White and pink and blue.
Easter cards of greeting,
Music in the air,
Lilies just to tell us
It’s Easter everywhere.
Have a wonderful time with your families today.

I made this little easter bunny frame from scratch tonight, inspired by the one I bought and decorated a couple of weeks ago.
Using bare chipboard, some tyvek and scortape I managed to get it to look the same, with the exception of the actual photograph window.. instead of a square, I die cut a wee bunny window instead 🙂 I know it doesnt look like there is a lot of room for a picture, but if you could imagine having a pic of your little one/grand baby / niece / nephew .. or even your hubby inside 🙂
Supplies Used :-
and the back
and the depth/dimension.. plenty of room for a photograph
Thanks so much for popping in 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend everyone… tis friday tomorrow, my most fav day of the week 😀
Hi everyone… hope your weekend is going well.
Today I have an Easter Nest Project to share with you that I created for Wild Orchid Crafts as part of their Youtube Design Team.
My daughter was throwing out an old mug box, and I managed to get it up to my shed before it hit the bucket! … this is what the box looked like before I altered and decorated it
I peeled off the cellophane skin
Gave the whole box a coat of Gesso inside and out
Then I took some Linen Acyrlic paint by Docrafts Artist and painted the whole box with 2 coats
I then picked some patterned paper .. I chose My Minds Eye Lost and Found Collection
and I covered the lid and base
I had bought some Jungle Moss and Reindeer Moss last week and it was just perfect to make a nest for the top of the box
I used Glossy accents to adhere it to the lid of the box
next I took some englaise lace from wild orchid crafts and fixed a band around the lid and base and decorated the top with flowers and pearls and the bottom with buttons
The flowers were scrunched up into little balls to give them a crinkled effect then I stuck 2 together before adhering them onto the lace and topping with a pearl
I then made a label for the front of the box using the “b” side of the patterned paper, some victorian edge scissors, some skeleton leaved, a button and a flower.. oh and some old sticky letters from Karen Foster Designs
Next up was the egg shell for the centre for the moss nest… I used 3 colours of paint for the egg
I love the colour the egg turned out.. all creamy yellowey and greeney
All that was left to do now was to pop the chicks in and take some more photographs of the finished Easter Nest Box
I had a lot of fun making this project… a full supplies list is listed below.. thanks for popping in 🙂 and enjoy your weekend!
