Easter Tags, Freebies, and Altered Egg Cartons!

Hello Friends!

I'm late!  I'm late!  For a very important date! :)

I do have some Easter projects to share with you.
First up are the altered egg cartons I made for my partners in
Cassandra's Easter Egg Carton Swap.
We had the choice of neutral, natural tones or pastels;
My partner Heather chose naturals, and this is the carton I made for her:


And inside the carton she will find... 


Paula, my other partner, chose pastel colors, so I made this for her:
 


And inside...
 


This was such a fun swap, I've never altered an egg carton before!
But I loved the creamy look of paint on the carton,
even though it did suck up the paint and require two coats!
But that's what gave it the creamy look.
 
I also made some Easter tags at a mini-crafting session
 with friends Marti and Rosa: 


I just love those little chickies!
Also embellished with tissue paper garland and german scrap.

 Here are some freebie images,
perhaps you'd like to make your own Easter tags:

Vintage Marketplace--Spring Edition!


Hello Friends!!

I'm still glowing from the lovely Vintage Marketplace
we went to in Rainbow, CA!
Oh, what lovely things! 
 

Lilacs...a rare commodity here in Southern California...


Shabby pocket pillows stuffed with lovely things...
Tissue paper roses ...

It was such a beautiful Spring day...

It's just such an inspiring experience,
to be among people who treasure the same things you do.
And I love meeting and talking with the vendors. 
I will have more pictures next week.

'Til then, here are some freebies that you may be able to use
in your Easter crafting:

Happy Spring!

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
