For my project I created an Easter layout that is perfect for those pictures of Easter egg hunts. I mixed and matched 4 sets from Scraptastical Kreations to create my paper piecings. I used " Cruisin' with my Chick", "Eggs 2 dye 4" and "Easter Cuties" to create the train the Easter Bunny is driving off in. To create the little boy holding the egg I used the body and egg from "Easter Cuties" the face and hair is from "Pool Sharks"  The paper I used is from a digital paper pack I created called Easter Fun. I designed my layout in a digital program then printed the paper with the mats out and added the paper piecings. I am offering the Easter pack on my facebook page for free. It can be found at the top of the page by clicking on the red heart labeled free digital pack. You must like the page before it allows you to click on the paper.   




Now, it's off to Tami to see her fabulous project for this month's challenge.
Thank you so much for hopping along with us. We hope you've been inspired to join in on the challenge, we can't wait to see what you create!
