Easter Egg challenges

 Wow!  There are an awful lot of Easter projects out here in blogsville and I thought I should join the crowd.  I started out with a white Recollection tag from Michael's, covered it with my favorite My Mind's Eye checked paper. Then using Cricut Design Studio and A Child's Year I created my little scene of Easter eggs and chicks.  Cut the images out with my Expression using more Recollection paper and glued them all together.  'cuteness'.


I added purple trim it's an oldie paper ribbon from Basic Grey.  I glued my 'cuteness' down onto the tag then added the lace and bead trims along the edges of the tag.  Next the beautiful ribbon.  I am in love with how soft this silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply store.  I wish you could just reach in to your computer and touch the ribbon, it feels like it's floating.  I added a jeweled stick pin and voila, an adorable Easter gift tag.

This post meets the requirements for quite a few blog challenge.  Listed in no particular order.

    What a fabulous Easter creation, Michelle! LOVE it! And I couldn't agree more about the silk ribbon -- it DOES float -- it's just luscious to work with. So glad you like it!
