Almost Easter



Easter is only 4 days away and I am busy preparing for it.  Family dinner on Sunday, preparing all the kidlets Easter surprises, everything fresh and light. Mind you, it's not green outside yet, we are in fact expecting a spring snow storm later today and through tomorrow. It should be nice and sloppy on Friday for our neighborhood egg hunt!

Just a few things created that I would like to share.

I made this Easter card for my Mother-in-Law. I was inspired by a card I saw on Splitccoaststampers. I can't find it now, but if the person that inspired were to stumble on it and say "Hey, that's my card darn you!" I will give credit where credit is due.




I used the Stampin' Up Apothecary Art stamp set and the new framelits dies that are in the current Occasions Mini. So soft and spring like. I made another one for my Mom.

Next was spring wreath for my front door. I used some flowers I had laying around. The pink "peonies" are actually made with coffee filters sprayed with colored water. Super easy tutorial I found on Little Birdie Secrets. I bought some jute when I went on my linen buying spree and used that for a bow.  The inspiration I used was from the Domestic Fashionista . Hers is much nicer, but I used what I had on hand.



I loved the coffee filter flowers so much I made a small bouquet of them to sit on my little curio table.



Going to go and do some ironing before the kiddies get home. Need to clean up the laundry/sewing area to take some pics of the new curtains I made for in there. I don't know why I went so long without. Till then, have an inspiring day!
