{Egg Hunt Layout}

~ Spring Stash Project #2 ~

Since my first project wasn't very Spring related I decided to use the Jenni Bowlin Bingo tag I recieved in my bonus goodies from Alicia at Down A Dirt Road Scrapbooking and use it for part of my title. I needed to gather products to use that went well with the tag so I chose to use some Lucy paper from Close To My Heart.


I grabbed a sheet of Lucy cardstock and started to plan my layout. I somehow thought argyle and cut out an argyle pattern with my Cricut and Art Philosophy Cartridge.


 I decided I haven't stitched a layout in a while and so I started to stitch a zig zag pattern in pink and green embroidery thread. Now I had to decide on how to use my bunny stamps. I stamped them and colored them. I added Liquid Glass to add texture and a glossy look to each and topped them up onto a scallop circle.


Now I decided spring and Easter needs flowers and I'm so over winter and snow I started stamping flowers and then instead of coloring them I added pastel vellum that was also stamped and adhered over the flowers. I started to add jewels and placed them onto the layout.


Only thing missing was a photo...

Hurry up E.B. (Easter Bunny) we need some eggs to hunt!

{Baby Luv Layout}

~ Spring Stash Project 1 ~

I started this layout with the idea of making it an Easter one and it definitely did not end up being one...


I saw the colorful lines and the baker's twine and looking through my own stash I found clear buttons. I laid them down onto the page and knew they were going to be added to the layout.

I love washi tape but have never or hardly ever have I used any of my rolls...
...Well, I found some that I started to stick onto my layout and voila...it was staying!

I saw a journalling tag that was almost perfectly 4" x 6" size and remembered my flip flaps and decided to try one...


I think I will be needing more of them because they are amazing. I added some ribbon with a single knot and some pretty pins to accent them.

Add some rub-ons to the empty space, baker's twine for the buttons...Pick a title...luv in place of Love...I was short a letter so I improvised...
