Boy Have I Been Lazy

About posting to this blog! I've actually been pretty busy wrapping up a huge transcription project of letters written by my grandfather and some other family members to my uncle John Percival in 1943 while he was in the Army.


A while back I posted a picture of one of my Spring Challenge entries at SVGCuts. Here are a couple more I decided to enter.


They certainly have been a challenge to make (the eggs!) The baskets and flowers were a breeze!

SVG Cuts Spring Challenge

Sizzix eClips #2 held on long enough for me to get everything cut and assembled to submit an entry in SVG Cuts Spring Challenge. For those of you lucky (or unlucky) enough to know my sense of humor, I submit here -- A Little Bunny Mischief. You can see more detail in the photo below.


The bunny dress is by DCWV's Glitter Stack. The files I used were SVG Cuts' Chamomile Friendship cards for the fence; April Avenue for the tall bunny. The smaller bunnies were from Easter Morning Egg hunt. The kite was a free file from SVG Cuts. The upturned basket is from Caramel Apple Pie kit and I used paper on the inside as well as the outside. The poor chocolate bunnies are all missing their ears. I don't know who is responsible for that!
