egg hunt...

(for a larger view, click on the above image)

Welcome to one of the *official* stops on the Papertrey Egg Hunt!

Look closely and you may find

a hidden egg that's one-of-a-kind.

Perhaps there are more than one or maybe even none!

The challenge is yours, enjoy and have fun!

If you are starting out here, make sure that you stop by Nichole's Blog to read about all the details along with the GRAND Prize affiliated with this fun contest!

 

I must admit that I am ready for spring...and this set makes me even more anxious....I love the way the sun starts heating up the earth and the smells that start coming to life as the earth does once again....the birds chirping outside my open window...and the fresh air that floats through the house and open car windows after a long winter...I had so much fun preparing a little something for you with this set designed by Heather Nichols called Egg Hunt.  
 
  For this project I turned one of the round top tins into a mini basket...it, along with the matching card,  is wrapped in Pretty Pastels patterned paper, Vintage Cream satin ribbon, and a Vintage Cream button.  The butterfly image is from the Egg Hunt stamp set....sweetest little butterfly.

I also used Melissa Frances crepe paper around the inside edges of the tin to create a delicate ruffle.

Thinking springy thoughts,
