Easter Baskets



I am continually surprised by how much I am enjoying the Designer Calendar cartridge! The funny thing is, I don't even own it - I just keep borrowing it off my sister : ) I wanted to make up little packages for my niece and two little nephews. I found cute and inexpensive little buckets at Wal Mart that started things off. After gathering all of the fillings for the buckets I journeyed home and cut out both the egg and the text from the Designer Calendar cartridge. I was very pleased with the detail on the egg. Needless to say, the kiddies were excited by their packages!

St. Paddy's Day Swap


After playing around with the Designer's Calendar cartridge I came across this simple clover. I layered it onto some Bazzill cardstock - Petty Cash. One more layer underneath - a little scalloped circle cut form Mini-Monograms. Throw all of this together and it comes together as a simple little St. Paddy's Day card. I made up a little bag of embellishments that were a variety of greens for my fellow swappers to enjoy.
