Challenge #5 Easter/Spring Theme

Hello and welcome back.  The bi-weekly challenge at Craft Us Crazy this time is Easter/Spring Theme.   Our sponsor this time is Peggy Loves Vintage and wait until you see what she has in her store.  Warning:  Vintage lovers be prepard to be amazed.   

Here is some information from our sponsor:

My husband and I have shared 36 years together and we have 2 sons and a daughter and 2 glorious grandkids ages 3 and 6.  I started collecting vintage cards quite by accident. I was helping with my aunts estate sale and ran across her collection. The cards were so wonderful that I fell in love with them and have been collecting them ever since.
I love to get a new vintage scrapbook and read all about the lives and times of the individual. Some of their stories are truly inspiring.


Be sure and visit my blog where you'll find some great inspiration, tips, tricks and some free vintage images for you to use.

Prize package – 5 different cut outs from store - $17.50 value


This digi image is already colored so how wonderful is that?   When I saw this image I knew just what I wanted to make and it was an Easter box for my grandson, Mason.   Since he can't join in the Easter Egg Hunt this year (he can't even crawl yet !!!), I decided to bring the eggs to him.

I loved this image so much that I put it on the front and inside of the box.  lol  Box came from Michaels.  Papers from Archiever's.  Punch from Martha Stewart.  Letters were cut from Plantin Schoolbook at 1" then stickled.  Liquid pearls in multiple colors for inside of blue flowers.   Butterflies were from my stash that I have had for years.  See - you should never throw anything away !!!!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.  Be sure and check out our monthly sponsor.

Birthday Card

Hello and Welcome - today I decided to make a birthday card with the sketch from I Did It Creations.  I immediately thought about my grandson's 4th birthday, which is coming up in April.  The digi is from Bugaboo Stamps and the rest is from my stash.  I keep promising myself that I will use up all of my papers before I buy more, but so far I have broken my promise.  lol  I hope you enjoy this and all comments are welcomed.
