Green Bunny: EGGS

Here's what I love about this layout: The 6x6 picture! (This is a 12x12 layout.) I ordered the main picture of Logan with his green eggs from Persnickety Prints. They will print various photo sizes including 12x12 (which I have also done...maybe I'll show that one off in a future post).

Another great site for enlarged scrapbooking photos is ScrapbookPictures.com. Both sites currently have the same pricing: 79 cents for a 6x6, $1.99 for a 12x12 and everything in between. I also ordered some great 2x2 square photos of our Bermuda vacation and gave them a classic thin white border. They arrived in my mailbox ready to scrap...no cropping involved.

I have ordered from both companies and received great quality prints with no problems.

What a fun way to get a new look in your albums!

Hello Spring!

Just sharing a couple spring things that have recently caught my eye...

Can't take credit for these flowers...my mom made them for me. She used milk cartons, fabric, wire, and beads and I love pulling them out every spring!

Family Fun Magazine's March issue has how-to instructions for this Cupcake-Liner Lantern. Love it.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow cupcakes from Parenting.com. Logan saw this picture and said, "Mom...you HAVE to make those!" Super cute.

Always inspired by Hostess with the Mostess. Check out these bright & beautimous eggs :)

Love the idea of these Pottery Barn drink dispensers. Wish they were cheaper. Target seems to have a couple of decent knock-offs. Costco has one for $20. Sarah and I are considering splitting the cost and sharing it...

Martha's craft ideas usually make me say, "yeah...right", but these little chickens are pretty darn cute!

And, finally, the 'why didn't I think of that?' idea of the day - Paint Chip Easter Garland by Amy Atlas.

Happy Spring!

Bunny Handprints

CONFESSION...I totally and completely stole this idea from my friend, Melanie. She is an amazing mommy and always has the cutest ideas :)

The only thing I had to buy was the googly eyes (which I usually have, but I think we used them all on crafts last Halloween). I got a small pack at Target for $1.99. You can probably find them cheaper at a craft store, but I was there with both kids in tow and decided $1.99 suited me just fine!

I started with 8.5x11 Kraft cardstock and ran it through my printer to get their names. I used the Digs My Hart font from kevinandamanda.com. She has a great blog and offers free font downloads!

Then, I painted the boys' palms and only their pointer and ring fingers and pressed them down on the paper:

Once they dried, I added the eyes and whiskers. Melanie used what looked like pink puffy paint for the nose, but I happened to have the adorable little fuzzy pink brads. I gave them a colored cardstock background and added a matching ribbon and that's it. So easy and SO cute.
