Smile, It's Spring-PPPR reveal

 I have a cute little Spring themed layout I created using cutting files from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbon store..
Some of the cutting files were the Friday Freebies, so do remember to stop by every Friday to grab yours cause you never know when you'll get a cute idea on how to use one.

So, I decided to go with some softer Spring colors and some cute chicks (wink wink) and came up with this design:

I'll have to hunt down some photos for this layout or maybe even take a few new ones..LOL

How about some close ups and details:

This cute little chick is in the Cute Chick's Cutting file

and the Easter egg's are in the Hoppy Easter cutting file

and this cute little chick is the same, but I flipped the image.  This way

I could have them both facing towards the middle of the layout :)

The grass is from the Flower Assortment cutting file

The cute little bunny that I tucked behind one of the photo mats is

also from the Hoppy Easter Cutting File..

and I decided to use a few clouds and those are in the Baby Shower cutting file.

I also added a large circle in the back of the layout, which is from the Layered Labels 3 cutting file.

I also wanted to add some spring flowers and what better than a few tulips :)

Those are in the Flower Faces cutting files..

and for the bottom of the layout, I decided to use one of the designer elements from the Layered Labels 1 cutting file and stretched it to about 10" big and then used the knife tool in the SIL software to cut just the bottom off which is what I wanted to use :)  I also added two flourishes to help decorate my title and those are in the Friends Forever cutting file..

and there ya have the cute little spring layout I created as my Design Team project for today's post..

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look..

Tucked him behind some clouds and added the little baby bottle, they can be both found in the Baby Shower cutting file...

extreme close ups.. 

I added a little chalk to his cheeks and added a few dots with my white marker...

The text on the clouds is also a font I used and used the Print option..

My title.. 

I attached the font to the circle and created the white shadow to highlight the soft tones..

I also added this heart balloon (heart balloon cutting file).. I used the swiss dots embossing folder on the large heart of the balloon.. 

Decided to add the blue foot prints (Mommy to be cutting file)  to the middle heart, using the print and "not cut" option..  looking at this now, I wish I would of added some more goodies to that basket :)

Easter Treat Bags- PPPR project reveal

As some of you already know,  I live in Finland and here we get little happy Easter witches and bunnies that come gathering Easter goodies from door to door on Palm Sunday..  For this year, I decided to create some cute little goody bags for them.. I made two different ones, one for a boy and one for a girl.. 

I filled the little bags with Easter goodies.. Not too many cause they are little kids that come by and dont want to over load them with sugar :)

I used the Handle Treat bag topper cutting file.. I flooded them with colors and prints using my SIL software, printed them and then cut.. It was quick and simple, my kind of a project when you have to create lots of them :)

I added detail with the fun bunny ears, which can be found in the Bunny Photo Props cutting file, the Scalloped circle is in the Layered Labels 3 cutting file and the Easter egg I used was in the Hoppy Easter cutting File..  I attached the scalloped circle with foam tape, but the topper was easy to apply to the bag with my ATG tape runner..

So much fun and so easy to create these fun treat bag toppers.. Now, I just cant' wait till Sunday so I can give these away to all those happy little Easter witches and bunnies that will come knock on my door  :)

Have a Scrap-tastic week
