Krafty Girls Challenge 4- For PEEPS sake!!!

Click HERE for my 250 Follower Giveaway Post!


Hey All!!!

Welcome to Challenge #4 at Krafty Girls! Today's challenge is entitled "FOR PEEPS SAKE"! 

Info for the challenge is as follows:


"Create a card, scrapbook layout, 3D object, or home decor project for Easter"

Well, that was pretty easy for me! I was ready for some Easter Decorations around my house! And I wanted to make something easy and quick! Also, I wanted it to be cost effective! I am REALLY trying to stay on my budget from now on since we are back to house hunting again! ANY budget can make something awesome! You just have to put your CRAFTY BARGAIN SHOES on!! So, off to the local Dollar Tree I went! I went down the picture frame aisle and I grabbed a stand up frame. Then I went to the seasonal aisle and grabbed some Styrofoam Eggs on a stick and Easter Grass. And as I was paying, I saw a pack of foam stickers that said "Happy Easter" in multiple colors! SCORE! I paid, and back home to think I went!!!

I thought about it, and I thought about it....DING! I knew what I was gonna make! I knew I wanted to use my Cameo and a cut file that I have had for awhile. I actually made a video cutting the image I decided to use. Here is the video as a refresher!






So, I showed you how I made the item I was going with, so now, here is the item I created with it all!

****Linking up at Getting Cricky with K Andrews-Easter Project****
