Easter pretties........

Hello!  Only 2 more sleeps until the Easter Bunny arrives!  My boys are so excited, they just love Easter :)
 
 
I bought a little jar with a bunny lid from Woolworths the other week and just had to decorate with some pretty Prima flowers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I bought a heap of plastic eggs for the boys to help me decorate and put on our egg tree.  I had a couple left over and decided to add a little Prima foil and paint to them. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here is the egg tree the boys helped me with.....love all there hand painted eggs on here :)  How cute is the tree I picked up from Kmart?!
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Hope you all have a lovely Easter!!

Pretty Little Studio - Wonderland

 
Hello!  Thankyou for your lovely comments on my last post of my babe and my canvas.  Your comments always make my day :)
 
 
Today, I would love to share with you, my very first creation using the Wonderland collection by Pretty Little Studio
 
We don’t get a lot of cold weather here in Australia where I live and I have never seen snow but my boys went to a manmade Indoor Ice Skating rink in the middle of summer!!  I snapped a few photos of them and thought this collection was just perfect. 
I just love the sweet pastel colours in this collection.  The mints, greys and soft pinks are just gorgeous. 
 
 
 
 
"Frosty Good Times"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pretty Little Studio Wonderland collection Paper: Fireplace, Let it Snow, Precipitation, Smores, Snow Angel, Warm Scarf
 
 
 
 
Embellishments:
Cut aparts – Flurry Phrase Strips and Mittens Phrase Strips
Flair – Hot Cocoa and Strawberry Swirl
Garland – Sparkling
Journaling – Winter Song
Vintage Die-cut – Snowman #9 and Snowman #10

I have cut the Garland flags and layered them to the left of my photo.  I also cut a heap of hexagons from the paper ‘Precipitation’ and applied to my layout with foam tape.  I finished off with those adorable Diecut Snowmen and the Flair buttons.

Just wanted to stop by to share my Flamingo canvas.
 
This one is 12 x 12 in size and I used Shimmerz paints and some Alcohol Inks. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
My babes is 5 months old now!
Why must I take so many photos of him and then struggle to pick a favourite.......
 
He's just perfect and those blue eyes get even more amazing everyday!
