Easter Challenge

I've got a quick and simple layout to share with you all.  This week Bitten by the Bug 2 is hosting a challenge where all you have to do is post an Easter project made using your Cricut.  

I decided to make a layout for my youngest daughter's first year album.  I have the most precious pictures of her from that day.  I have to start moving faster with my layouts, and I was pretty proud that I made this one very quickly. 

The eggs are cut from Create a Critter 2.  I ran the pink and the purple through my Cuddlebug.  I embellished the green ones with buttons and rhinestones.

The other cuts are from Artbooking.  I ran the flower border though my Cuddlebug also.

Artbooking-"First," "Easter," and Flower Border
Create a Critter 2-Eggs (Shadow)
Divine Swirls and Polka Dots Cuddlebug folder
White Gel Pen
Chalk and Versa Magic Ink for edges
Buttons and Rhinestones
Recollections cardstock
Pattern paper-K & Co. Snugglebug stack

We hope you will join us at Bitten by the Bug 2 and link up your Easter project.

Bunny Challenge

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at Bitten by the Bug.  This week we are creating projects, cards, or layouts featuring a bunny cut with your Cricut.  I decided to get a start on Easter treat bags for my kids' classes.  I bought some bunny graham crackers at Walmart.  I thought they would be perfect for treat bags.  

I was determined to make this easy since I am making 51.  I didn't pick anything with a lot of layers.  

I started off by picking a photo mat from Artbooking to use as my topper.  I cut the bunny from Holiday Cakes and the carrot from Create a Critter.

The stamp is Jaded Blossom Easter Treats 3.  

I used the craftroom to help me with my sizing and to layout several cuts on a page.  

For the photo mat, I glued the layers then I scored it at 2.5 in. to fold it to make a topper.

I also used Auto-Fill for my bunny cuts.  You can adjust this to whatever size paper you are using.  

I usually cut everything out and then I start layering and putting together my treat bags in an assembly line to go a little faster.  

So 46 more to go this week!

Supplies:

Artbooking Cartridge:  Frame cut at 6 in.

Holiday Cakes Cartridge:  Bunny 1.5 in.
Create a Critter:  Carrot 1 in.

Easter Treat Bags

Here are the Easter treat bags I made this year for my kids' classes.  I wanted to do something that did not have a lot of layers to it.  These really came out cute!  I loved the Bunny Bait I did last year, but I decided to just go simple and put Robin's Eggs in these.

The Easter basket, grass, and eggs are from Create-a-Critter 2.  The eggs were embossed using the Cuttlebug with the polka dots and divine swirls folders.

The fence was made using Martha Stewart's border fence punch.  

Supplies:

Basket and grass-Create-a-Critter 2-cut at 2.25 in.

Eggs-Create-a-Critter 2-cut at .75 in.
