EASTER PAPERCRAFTING PROJECT - 'TIFFANY WE LOVE YOU TOO!"

I've got lots of room across the mantle for these 8" x 8" boards.  I've used glossy card stock for the backing so they will still fit into an album after the holidays.  The "Cotton Scraps" chick and the chipboard frame are Crafty Secrets, the rubons are by Heather Bailey for Autumn Leaves, the ribbons and paper all scraps from my stash.  The ceramic button is one of a set I've hung on to (hoarded!) for many years.  Another of the "grandgirls", Tiffany is signing "I love you"!

VINTAGE PHOTO - THE POOR EASTER CHICKS!

On the back of the photo "see him getting close (to the) chicks - he had so much fun with them".   Behind him you can see the open box they likely came out of and next to that are a couple of Easter Baskets.  Love the laundry line overhead.   This photo is from one of a couple of large albums which clearly belonged to the same family in New York city.  I'm sure the chicks weren't kept for eggs in this Brooklyn neighborhood.  Hey I had chicks at Easter too..colored ones.  Some things change for the good!

MAC'S EGG HUNT - AN EASTER PAPERCRAFTING PROJECT

Yet another look for the 8" x 8" project board.  I first tryed this (see previous posts) for Valentine's Day, then St. Patrick's Day and now Easter - all three are quite different but with the same general structure and approach.  Maybe I shouldn't post after midnight!  I've changed the background for the photo - much better and while I was at it added a couple of blue bunny buttons which I have had for a number of years.  Snip off the shanks and use Glossy Accents to glue them down. The stickers are from Rusty Pickle and the brown papers are Upsy Daisy Designs.  The chocolate drink cap is vintage wax paper and cardboard love that I had one that was chocolate!  And the orange color draws your eye back to the picture ( Mac's pants) perfect! 

VINTAGE PHARMACY PRICE TAGS

I was happy to find these vintage tags at the Vancouver Flea Market last Sunday - then almost giddy when I saw the "multiple" tags at the end of the box.  I'm not sure of the dates of these tags but obviously a single cent was worth something.  I mounted these on letter sized paper to scan so a full page print will give you the actual size.  I think you may be able to print out a full page then scan so that each one is an individual file.  I'm going to have fun using these on projects!

A SPRING BANNER - A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT EGGSTRAVAGANZA

1.  Out of town working for most of the month.  2.  Old laptop burnt out - new laptop doesn't like my lack of skill!   Headstart on next year?   Here's a second take on the Easter banner I posted earlier with a couple of close ups.  I like the frilly "easter grass" but think the first one is my favorite so far.
