Good Morning! It's Wednesday again, and time for another challenge over at Cooking With Cricut. This week we're asking you to use your talent in the most wonderful (and rewarding way).
The CWC DT has recently been introduced to a couple of remarkable young ladies who are going through some tough things in their lives. Patty is a beautiful 13-year-old girl who is battling a rare form of cancer (you can read about her HERE), and Emily is a 6-year-old sweetheart who is fighting leukemia (you can read about her on Madison's I Feel the Love page HERE). We're asking you to step up this week and send these girls some love.
Here's my card for Patty:
I love vintage Winnie the Pooh, and this stamp makes me smile - I hope it does the same for Patty. :)

Flowers: Forever Young
Stamp: bought it from a fellow DT member in a "yard sale" - I've been hoarding it ever since, waiting for the perfect card to use it on; coloured with Copics

Good Morning! It's Wednesday and that means a brand new challenge over at Cooking With Cricut. This week we want to see your Easter creations!
I can't believe it's already Easter! Normally, by this point I would have my egg hunt all ready to go, and my Easter baskets all packed up. But this year I'm completely behind. Thanks to this challenge, I have ONE thing finished. Hey, it's a start, right?
Have you ever played with Christmas crackers? My kids discovered them on Mr. Bean (NOTHING makes us laugh as hard as Mr. Bean's antics), and sort of fell in love with the whole idea. I decided to make my own as part of our Easter week celebrations. They were SUPER simple, and Abi and Luke are already asking when they get to crack them open.
Here's what inside:
I stuffed it all into empty toilet paper tubes and then wrapped the tubes with some old paper I found in my stash. It's thin, so it was easier to manipulate, but I think I'd use gift wrap next time.
Here's a back view - love that little bunny tail:
I used Doodlecharms for the bunny heads, and PKS Critter Faces for the cute little faces. The feet are just circles I cut out using circle punches, and the tails are pom poms I swiped from the kids' craft stash.
APPARENTLY, you can buy the snaps to put inside the crackers - to make the "POP" - but I coudn't find them. Disappointing, but Abi and Luke assure me they can make the sound themselves and it'll work just as well. :) I have made it my mission to track down the actual snaps before Christmas though, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!
Challenges Entered:
PKS Challenge: Easter Candy Container
My Craft Spot: Easter
Wacky Wednesday: Easter or Spring
Scrappy Moms: Easter
Krafty Girls: Easter
And now it's your turn to get that last minute Easter crafting finished. Be sure to head over to Cooking With Cricut and share it with us! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day! :)
