HOP-py Easter!

I have had a ton of fun today. My husband, Tom, our brother, Jimmy, and Tom's brother, Tim, all worked outside today on our outdoor fireplace entertainment area. It's coming along nicely! Bonnie and I sat outside for a while just enjoying the sunshine.



It's a work in progress. There will be a light on the top of that column and flag stone added to the tops of everything. Two more brick columns and seating areas will be added in an L shape. But we are hoping to have it functional by next weekend for Bonnie's birthday party! We are wanting to make s'mores on the outdoor fireplace!

In between running back and forth to the store for different groceries and drinks, I played with my Silhouette Cameo. First I updated my software to the Designer's Edition so that I could have access to even more tools and be able to use SVG cuts. Then I went searching in the Silhouette online store for Easter Basket 3D cuts. I found several I liked, but decided on this one....


I cut out 19 of these little darlings and stamped faces on them using Peachy Keen PK-754 Critter Faces Set A Medium.



I used a white gel pen to color in part of the eyes, nose, and teeth. Added some twine around it's neck, and then added some Easter Grass, Easter Egg, and candy.


I inked around the edges of this one with Close To My Heart "Sunset" ink. At first I used mono adhesive, but they were staying stuck together, so I went back and used Score Tape instead - much mo' betta'.



I love my little Bunny Baskets! Thanks for stopping by today! :) Janis
