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:

Hello Friends!

That's pretty much me these days.
I have been leveled by a monster cold this week,
and tapping away at the keyboard is pretty much all I manage.
And...oh my gosh...where do the hours go when you're on Pinterest?!
Or I Can Has Cheezburger (cute pet pics)?

Oh, but I do have some things to share with you...

I received these lovely journals from my partners in
Speckled Egg's Altered Journal swap.

The gorgeous journal I received from Ros:


And the very lovely journal I received from Kim:


I love them, thank you Ros and Kim!!

I did finish my vintage button brooch for a swap
in the Marie Antoinette Mail Art group:



I have it pinned to a fabric tag in the picture,
I think they look pretty cute together. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by,
and you may like to stop by White Wednesday
where you will find lovely links to lovely whites :)

I have also been busy crafting for the many Halloweeen swaps I am in.

Since I know these have already been received,
here are the two altered matchboxes I made for
Heather's Speckled Egg Curiosities Swap:



The top window and scattered holes in the house are illuminated by tucking one of those flickering tealights inside...
very cute and spooky effect!



And some of the goodies contained within:


I received two fabulous matchboxes from my swap partners, and will try to post those tomorrow!

Please visit Pink Saturday for a lovely pink eyecandy!

Have a great weekend!!
