I'm crafty and you know it!

Wow! Is Easter sneaking up on me. New job is not allowing much crafting time with weekend seminars and varied hours I am still trying to balance. BUT I have some of my favorite Blogs and if they have a challenge...I will try to join in the fun!

Over at MyCreativeTime it is the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge and I have chosen to go on the diagonal and use A Die Cut, Ribbon and Faux Stitching.

I used Stitched Chunky Jar Dies, Chunky Jar Accessories and Hello Spring. I cut the eggs out of Shrink Material  and stamped them. The jar is 3 ply! 2 layers of clear acetate and then 1 layer of patterned paper. I just wasn't getting the effect I wanted using just the clear jar. For the jar lid and handle, I adhered tin foil to a cereal box. Nice shiny real affect.

I am glad I made time for this little craft. I have lots to do before Sunday and I hope to get more crafting completed. In my head I originally saw Easter Grass in the jar with the eggs. Next time!

  3. Oh my goodness Linda! I haven't had any time to blog hop lately so I've been missing your beautiful creations. Love love love the fiesta stuff. The utensils, the cupcakes, the flower pots, everything. This project is also so super cute. I love it. Hopefully things at your new job will settle down soon and you'll have more time for your creations - although you're still getting more done than I am. LOL.
