Celebrating Easter with E.A.D Designs!

I have always wanted to be one of those people that bust out all kinds of decorations for the upcoming holidays but somehow they always seem to come and go before I find the time.  I've already missed a couple festive days but decided to get a jump start on Easter! I put out what decorations we had and decided it wasn't enough.  The new Easter designs from E.A.D Designs made it super easy for me to make my own.  For my project I used the Easter 1 Rub-ons in pink and the Easter Boarder Rub-ons in lime and light yellow (which are now ON SALE).  

My project!

Of course you knew that Torendi (hop over to find out how to win some Mod Podge of your own) has teamed up with Mod Podge Rocks this month, so of course I had Mod Podge sitting out on my desk and knew it would be perfect to seal my project.  I used the Sparkle Mod Podge for the sides and top of the box and Matte Mod Podge for the inside and back of the box.  The box it's self came from a set of dipping oils from William Sonoma if I remember correctly.  I decided to use it because it's the prefect size for the little mirror shelf in my entryway.

Other Supplies I used include the cute rabbit stamp by Sassafras, Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie Butterflies, and acrylic paint.

HHH with BLOG CANDY!

Hi all, it's FINALLY my birthday! :)

That means blog candy for you and also a fun HHH project.

Yesterday's Hip Hop Challenges were to make something with Easter colors and something with an oval shape. I decided to combine both challenges and make this bag. I cut the bag and tag out of yellow cardstock on my new birthday cricut! Then I cut a bunch of 1 1/8 inch squares out of some adorable Easter paper I bought last year. After inking with edges with CTMH pink carnation ink I glued them onto both sides of the bag. After they dried I went back and trimmed with edges of the bag with a project knife. I used Unity's distressed dots background to ink up the side of the bag and also the purple Easter eggs. The chick and "I adore you" stamps are from Unity's December KOTM. I also used my doozie daisy stamp to give some extra interest to the grass with CTHM sweet leaf ink. HEY CHICK! is from the Unity kit of the same name. Put it all together with a few little extras like glitter glue, gem, eyelet, ribbon and it's done! :) Please go to the UNITY BLOG to see all the other wonderful HHH participants. Did I mention there is a huge SALE this weekend too?!

Now onto the Blog Candy! Since it's HHH I had to included Unity in my prize, so up for grabs is Unity's Forever Friends and three spools of super cute ribbon from Joann's.
