peeky Easter egg!

Are you as happy as I am to welcome spring? I've already started Eastering with this little cutie:

I've made quite a few of these Peeky Eggs (you know, like hollow sugar or chocolate eggs), but this one is my favorite so far.  That's partly due to the sweet little girl, and partly because of the shimmery metallic finish of the Curious Metallics Smoosh Roses surrounding her.  Not sure what a Smoosh Rose is?  You can learn how to make your own HERE. 

Those roses are so simple, I like to make a bunch in neutrals and save them to use in later projects.

Are YOU Eastering yet???

a spring window frame diy makeover, and the final fairy pop layout

Whew, my inaugural post at the CutCardStock blog is up.  I had grand illusions that spring was truly here, but then it snowed on my daffodils.  ***sigh***  That didn't stop me from updating the window frame that lurks around our house,  this guy occasionally gets a seasonal fix:

More info on the window frame in THIS POST. 

Also, at the Altered Page Artsociates blog, the final, and my very favorite, layout from the tiny 2x4 inch fairy themed pop-up book is up.

Look at that little guy, flying his butterfly driven chariot! 

I am SO ready for spring.  Count me in on these spring challenges, please!

Couldn't resist a little crayon.  And some mica flakes, don't ask why--there were just begging to be used.  And they're shiny.  Enough said.

Time for more fairy pops!

You'll find more photos and another layout in my post today at the Altered Pages Artsociates page.

Also, I'm very pleased to let you know that I've been invited to join the CutCardStock design team.  As I'm already madly in love with their metallic cardstock, this is looking to be a good pairing . . .
