Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter! I hope you all have a lovely Easter Sunday! I will be spending today with my family and hopefully enjoying some of the sunshine. I did a little bit of Crafting yesterday but have still not finished my commissions. I will try and finish them off over the next couple of days.

I have some photos of a couple of the Easter gifts I have made for my family to share with you today. The first is another altered Egg box, this one is a four egg box and I added an image of Fluffy eating an egg and a Magnolia sentiment to the box which had been decorated with scraps from my scrap box.

For the ladies, I painted half of an egg shaped box with pink acrylic paint and then a coat of Tim Holts crackle paint. It's the first time I have used it and it was great fun! It's so addictive to see it crackle under the heat gun. I trimmed the top of the egg box with some ruffled ribbon and then filled the egg with straw and lots of little chocolate eggs.

I wrapped the filled box with cellophane which I tied with ribbon, added a Magnolia sentiment tag and then made a little tag with a Magnolia image which I coloured with my Promarkers.
Both of these gifts were lots of fun to make and came together surprisingly quickly so I will definitely be making more of these next year.
I hope you enjoy your Sunday!
