I love the girl bunny.. I think she's my favorite!


The papa bunny was cute too.


Here's another papa bunny in teal.


Had a lot of fun making these. Hopefully I can take another egg class again soon.

Then she showed us a great technique for painting the eggs..  Love the color she chose!


After the paint was dry, we added the pearls and gold cording.  Can you believe this is my egg?


Then some gold trim...


And the pearlstickpin and bead cap.


And she showed us an amazing trick for making the bow!  I think I still need to practice.  Here's my finished egg.  I still can't believe I made this!!!


As you can see here, the egg is tilted a bit upwards so if its on the table you can see it.  I love the bunny.. She's so shabby!


Look!  She actually cut out parts of the egg!




OK this was my favorite egg.. I found out Debi made this!!!


See it opens up!

This one is so cute. I think it was made with quail eggs.  Found out Debi bought this from Eileen almost 40 years ago and its still nice!


This one was covered in velvet.


This was the Year of the Dragon kit.  Wish I could've taken this class!


 Eileen also teaches bling classes too.  I think I want to take these next!



So, if you live on Oahu.. you are in luck!  Eileen teaches classes almost every Sunday at the old Photocraft site off of Waialae.  I really want to go to another one of her classes again, it was so much fun!  I really surprised myself and still can't believe I made that egg!

On the side of the basket, I added some sheer ribbon and made a bow. In the middle, I added a Wild Orchid Crafts rose.



Here's a better look at those embellies...


 Debi seemed to like these projects a lot!  Glad I decided to give it to her. :)

Happy Easter! Did the Easter Bunny bring you yummy treats? I remember one Easter I must've been bad cause I didn't get anything from the Easter Bunny! Anyway, came up with this simple treat to give to Akemi's class and my classes this weekend. Debi got the bags for me when she went to Honolulu (Thanks Debi!). Thank goodness cause it sure made these projects easy! To make my life even easier, I just printed up some Easter clipart by Nancy Kubo and Mindy Terasawa and added a sentiment below. Then I punched them out and mounted them on scalloped circles and taped them to the top of the bag. Yay! Easy Peasy! Here's a closer look...

Happy Easter Everyone! Just wanted to share what I created for the April Card and Tag Swap (CATS) that Joy hosts on her blog... You need to sign up for three consecutive months at a time and Joy will pair you up with three different participants. This month, my partner is the Bearsaurus herself, Elena. Need to make one tag and one card in whatever theme she comes up with... This month's theme was Easter, so I was happy to use my new Verve stamps that just came in. These little chickies are so cute! They come with chickie sentiments too- which I just love! First here's my tag.. now that I look at it, I probably should have used a different color base yah? Oh well. Here's the card I made for her using the same stamps... It's another pleated center pop up card. And here's what it looks like when its opened flat. Do like the butterfly? Here's you can see it fully opened with the sentiment. And here's the close up of the cute chickie! Hope she likes it!

I recently received a request to teach the treat box card and I guess I got too ambitious and came up with two different cards designs- one for Boy's day and one for Easter. Forgot to take a photo of the inside of this card, but I remembered to stamp the inside this time and used the Dandelion koi stamp. Here's the Easter version of the same card. OK- just noticed that these photos were taken before I actually finished the project! I finished it off by wrapping some nuggets with coordinating paper and inserted them into the box portion of the card. I guess you'll just have to use your imagination. So glad Dandelion is making these cute cling stamps where are actually larger in size than their wood stamps. I've always wished for their designs to be bigger and now my wish has come true! Thanks Jean! These cards are pretty easy to whip up and are great for giving friends a little something for any occasion.

This is another pre-scheduled post. Just wanted to share another pleated center pop up card. I originally saw this on Eunice's blog and then again on Joy's blog. Thanks ladies! Made a few adjustments so that it was A2 sized. Guess I was in the mood for spring, so I decided to make an Easter themed card for my upcoming class. I think the key to this type of card is to find background items that will stand up or float to show off the coolness of this card (did I just write coolness?). Anyway, I couldn't resist using the Easter Anya since she's back in stock at Island Scrapbooking. Also finally able to use my easter basket punch and Lawn Fawn bunny from the Critters in the Burbs set. Yay! I think my favorite thing about spring is the pretty pastel colors. They are my favorite pallet to work with. Hope you are having a good week! Can someone check my cupcakes on Cupcake Corner please? ha ha ha!

Do you watch The Soup on E! Its hilarious! I guess I enjoy it because it makes fun of celebrities and pop culture. They always say "Chicks, Man!" when introducing a segment on females, so thought I'd use it for my title.... Just had to share this cute Easter RAK from Debi. She said she got the Chick template from My Time Made Easy by Lauren Meader. I love her stuff too. Didn't realize this Chick was that cute! Love how she put feathers too! Thanks Debi!
