Easter Buckets

     Hello, everyone.  Hope y'all had a great Easter weekend!  Today I would like to share with you a quick and very last minute Easter project. As you know from one of my previous post, I have been really busy with school and family.  So busy, that I totally procrastinated on the whole Easter basket and goodies for my kiddos :(  I was so sure that this year we weren't going to take the kids egg hunting... until my other half told me to 'get crafty,' (easy for him to say ha, ha, ha).
     I admit, my mojo wasn't all there so all you IG and Pinterest people, you guys and gals helped me on this one :)  I ended up going to my Michael's and getting a beach pail for all my kids.  The rest was up to my Cricut Explore.


 
The Bunny was cut at 5.25'' from the Teresa Collins Bunny and Chicks and the names were from Boys Will Be Boys font cut at 2.5" in height.
Everything was all from cardstock glued with my ATG gun!

 
Kids had a lot of fun and SO fast on looking for those eggs! I wasn't able to get a good picture of all the kids but this one seemed good since the rest were pretty much blurry tsk, tsk.

Throwback Thursday - Flowers

     Good morning everyone!  Today I feel like sharing with you a throwback Thursday project from a couple years ago.  Esh, I really can't remember how old this mini project was but it is roughly over 2 years old.
     There was a time I was OBSESSED with Prima mini flowers but at the end of the day, let's admit it, they are pretty pricey and add up :(  Don't get me wrong, I still love Prima flowers but I just had to find an alternative to save a bit.  Thanks to YouTube (couldn't remember the original name, sorry but there are a lot of good ones out there) and my trusted Cricut Expression, I was able to whip these out in a decent time!  The best part of it is that I am able to cut out flowers from any color I want!

 
Items used: Bazzil Cardstock, Hot glue gun, Stickles for added shine, Cricut Expression, and the Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge.
 
 
These were soooo cute in real life I think I may have to do these again soon :)
