Easter Projects & GIVE AWAY
I spent time this weekend working on two projects. One wasn’t exactly an “epic fail” as my kids would say but it wasn’t a super winner either. Sometimes you can save an epic fail by taking a great picture of it. Well, this weekend wasn’t my time for that either. My photos, nearly all of them, were definite “epic fails”. Today I will try taking my projects outside and getting some shots that way. Hopefully, without sneezing my head off and getting a bunch of shots of my own feet or camera strap. Hmmm, maybe I should get a pedicure just in case. Always err on the side of your toes being seen. LOL!
If you’ve missed these Easter projects that I did last year, you might want to check them out:
I used one of Lori Whitlock’s cut files along with my Silhouette SD (before I got the Cameo) and made a mirror that turns people into Peeps! You can see more photos and information here.
Using the Kate’s ABCs Cricut Cartridge
Hot glue, some dollar store flowers and a few other very inexpensive things made the prettiest Easter basket that you just have to see! Click HERE to see the completed Easter basket. Um, yeah. I did get my full $1’s worth out of those flowers by using them in this project and as decorations in the vinyl canvas project. LOL!
TIME FOR A GIVE AWAY!!
Leave a comment telling me what crafty thing you wish you would find in your Easter basket. On, Friday, March 30 I’ll use Random.org to choose a winner for a $25 Gift Certificate to Custom Crops.com! Woo hoo! Custom Crops sells lots of crafty things so be sure to check them out.
AND THE WINNER IS…

Happy Easter! Your projects are just amazing!! I found your blog through a friend of mine and am enjoying backreading all your great ideas.

Yea! I love that peeps mirror! It is special to my heart as it was the first giveaway post I had ever won. hehehe
I am hoping for some Copic Markers :p I would settle for some vinyl though
I remember the Easter basket from last year — so pretty! I just started making decorative stick pins and I would like a nice assortment of pretty beads to make them. Otherwise, some more pretty paper stacks would be great, too.
Love your projects. I would love to see a Scrap n’ Easel in my basket
Thanks for a chance to win! I hope I find some Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love those things, but kept thinking I had more, and I haven’t ordered more–and now I’m out! But really any crafty things would be loved and appreciated by me–love new stufz!!
Very cute projects! I would like to find some vinyl in my basket.
Cute Bunny card! I would love to see a 12×12 printer in my Easter basket! 🙂 🙂
Oh….I feel so greedy…lol!! I would love to see the Cameo in my Easter basket; or copics. I have to admit I would settle for chocolate! Love the Easter basket you made!
That Easter Basket is so pretty! In my Easter Basket, what would I like to see…..hummmm….if it were a very LARGE basket, I would love to find a Cameo! Or a Creatopia! If it’s a bit smaller, some lovely cardstock that cuts like butter and some ink pads in pretty colors! If it’s a little basket , some pretty brads in pastel and bright colors! Now the Bunny can choose what he wants to give away!
Happy Spring! Happy Easter!
That Peeps mirror is so cute! This year, I would love to find some embossing folders and border punches in my Easter basket.
Such a beautiful basket, I would love to see some new cricut cutting matts in my basket this year.
I think I am going to have to steal your mirror idea. So cute! My grown -up kids will love it! In my Easter Basket I would like to see the Cricut Cartridge Nate’s ABC’s.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Your projects are all so GREAT!! I am hoping for a new craft table for Easter!!
Thanks for all you do Joy!!! ~Michele
Such a cute use of dollar store finds! I’m definitely inspired….
I would LOVE to find an assortment of gel pens/markers and if we’re talking a SUPER generous Easter Bunny (hehehe) I would want a Cuttlebug machine and a few folders to get started. I really want to get into embossing and love all the projects I see with it done. THANKS for the chance at the giveaway!
If the Easter Bunny is listening….remember: I am the queen of bling, any size and type. Glitter is my friend and gaudy is my middle name. I like the kind you can wear AND the kind that goes on my layouts so I am easy to please! LOL!
Easter is such a fun time, and Spring is the BEST! It does make me want to be all crafty. I always love new tools, pretty papers, Cricut cartridges, embossing folders, and on and the bunny can hop!! Doesn’t the bunny like to shop til he drops?
That peeps mirror is a crack up! the ideas you come up with always amaze me!
I would love for the Easter Bunny to bring me a big basket with a Cameo in it!!!!!
Happy Crafting!!
Karen
Adorable!!!! Totally fun mirror! 🙂 Thanks for the fun giveaway! I’m pretty much happy with jelly beans! HA!
Love, love, love seeing your crafty works. If I had an Easter basket this year, I would love to find a couple of books…..one book on card designs (ideas) and one book on quotes (what to put inside the cards). Thanks for the opportunity to win.

I would be so very happy to find Chipboard Mini Albums in my basket!! This will never happen though! 🙂 Getting Preston into a craft store ( let alone knowing what I might want ) would be the worst day out ever for him 😉 lol

The mirror is ADORABLE but maybe NOT after you eat all the chocolate and then take a look!!! I would love to have more Cricut cartridges. Thanks for the Spring giveaway.

Love the peeps mirror! Can the Easter Bunny give me extra time to craft?! That’s what I need 🙂 If he’s bringing something as he’s hopping along, then I would request a few new cricut carts 🙂
Thanks for the great giveaway!!

Thank you for the pretty Easter inspiration.
I so wish that I would find a Silhouette Cameo in my Easter basket. I have been drooling over this machine for sometime now. As I look at all of these blogs and see the fantastic creations I want it even more.

Hi Easter Bunny… I sooo wish you could bring me a CAMEO in your Easter Basket. It might be a bit bulky, but I guarantee it won’t have any calories or give you a tooth ache. Smooches… Felicia (lol)
Joy I always love your projects. I wish I could find the cure for cancer in my basket but since that is not going to happen I hope to find some great stamps in my basket. Thanks for the chance to win.

I would love to find adhesives in my Easter basket. I seem to go through them at an amazing speed.
The crafty thing I’d like to find in my Easter basket would be have to be … well, if I have to pick one it would probably be the Letter Envy Cricut cartridge. I had to think about scrapbooking suppplies since I spent 2011 devoted to making every card I gave and have to wrap my head around the fact that I’m not doing that this year, so I will have time to scrap and should be focusing on tools to do that! Thanks for asking!
I remember these crafts from last year and still think they are great..I am going to put some bunnies on my mirrors….In my Easter basket I would like to find some cuttlebug folders and some copic pens and maybe some Joy’s stamps!!
I love that canvas!!!! Great job & its sings spring
I would love to see some Joy’s stamps! I don’t have any stamps so it would be really nice to start my collection! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love to find distress stains and distress markers in my basket.
Hope I’m posting in the right place for the newsletter only give away. What I would most like to see in my basket, (which by the way, your basket is beautiful,) is one each of the remaining Cricut cartridges that I don’t have, or a zing! Don’t ask for much do I? Thanks for a chance to win something. Have a great day!
I would like to find Tim Holtz tonic scissors in my Basket.

I would love to see some cricut carts in my easter basket…..

I love the Easter Bunny ears! So cute…alas, all I have is boys! Bummer! All I want for Easter is ooey, gooey chocolate! (and maybe a Cameo!) Thanks for this chance to win! Love your site!
I would love some of the newer cricut cards and distress markers…Thanks for the chance to win
Love Love Love the peeps mirror. Who doesn’t like peeps? The vinyl bunny is so cute too. My easter basket…. weel I have a couple of Cricut cartridges on my wish list like the Cottage Garden for example…. or some MS punches… or some new stanp sets. I’m not to hard to please since I enjoy playing with new toys/tools anytime.
I hope to find a chocolate easter bunny in my basket along with some delightful crafty items. I’d really love some Echo Park paper, some new Joy’s Life stamps, a Cricut cartridge or two and a blank check made out to my local scrapbook store!
I would like to find one of you crafty ladies in my Easter basket this year…..just like a coupon for a one on one inspiration session!! that would be the greatest! but if not, just twine. I see lots of posts using twine and I have yet to do so. thanks for asking.
My Easter basket would be over flowing if I wished for a Cameo but I’m sure there would be plenty of room for those really cool Sew Ribbon punches that I’ve been craving. They really caught my eye with all of the different designs that would really spice up a scrap layout.
I would like lots of colors of bakers twine in my Easter Basket this year. Love the peeps mirror! Great idea!
What wouldn’t I like to find? LOL I guess if I had to pick, stamps. Either images, or of course your stamps.
In my Easter Basket I would love to find some Tim Holtz distress ink pads and refills or the new Teen Cricut Cartridge can’t remember exact name off hand.

I’d like to see some Cinch supplies in my Easter Basket or the new Paper Doll Teen Scene cricut cartridge. Joy’s Life stamps would be a very nice surprise as well.
Gosh any scrapbook supplies in my Easter Basket, Birthday gift (in April as well) or even mother’s day would take me totally by surprise because my husband would never think to do that. So it would have to come from me and I am not very good at being surprised when I put it there. HEHE ~but I do try to put on a show for the kids.
Anyway I would like the new or old Tags bags boxes and more cricut cartridge and any other goodies!!!!
God bless,
Janet
I would want Spring Cottage cartridge in my Easter basket….that little strawberry basket is just too cute to resist!! Or for an even bigger wish…the Cameo!!
