Here comes Peter CottonTail . . .

....hoppin' down the bunny trail,
hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way!

I take no credit for this design; it comes straight out of last year's Williams-Sonoma catalog. (Well, their bunnies were cuter.)

They gave me an excuse to break out the sanding sugar...and I like a cookie with sanding sugar. And, really, something about SPRING just screams sanding sugar to me. You, too?

Here's how I add sanding sugar once a cookie is complete:

• Let the cookies dry overnight.

• Mix together equal amounts of meringue powder and water, just stir it together with a spoon. (I used 1/2 tsp. each here.)

• Using a small (food-only) paintbrush, brush the mixture along the edge and tail of the bunnies.

• Sprinkle on the sanding sugar. Shake off the excess. (I use a coffee filter to catch the excess and funnel it back into the container. Read more about how I set up a "sanding sugar station" here.)

That's it!

I want to see what YOU are making for Easter! Cookies, cupcakes, crafts? Link them up below!

Wags 'n Whiskers sneak peek day two!

Hi everyone! It's time for day two of the sneak peeks of the release of brand new Wags 'n Whiskers stamps! I hope you're having fun seeing all the wonderful new stamps. The sneak peeks will culminate tomorrow with a blog hop. I hope you join us. There's a couple ways you can win some of the new stamps. First, rush over to the Wags 'n Whiskers blog to find out how you can win THE FULL RELEASE! You will also have a chance to win if you play along with the blog hop. Check back on Friday for all the details for that!

Today I chose to use Home Run. I think he's so awesome for a boy's card! I colored him with Copic markers and then cut him out and popped him up off the card. All papers are Nitwits and cardstock base is Bazzill. I wrapped some twine around the top and tied it in a bow, and that was it. Please be sure and visit the rest of the Divas to see their sneak peeks.

Jeanette, Debbie, Lacey, Chris, Nikki, Bree, Tina, Michele, and Karen

Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back on Friday for the blog hop! Hugs!!

Birthday Scrapping and Trying a New Product

I had fun in my scraproom today.  In addition to working on a "to be revealed later" project, I also did some scrapping of the Birthday photos.  I used a new (to me) product on the scrap pages, Fabric Paper by Dear Lizzie and American Crafts.  It is fabric that is backed with an ultra-thin adhesive foam. The fabric paper cuts nicely with my paper trimmer, though I did not try it on the Cricut today.  Don't worry, I have more of the fabric paper and that will be my next experiment.

 

I purchased my fabric paper at Taylored Expressions.  I used two sheets of the 12 x 12 inch fabric paper, removing the middle section with the trimmer (and saving it for later - I am thinking cute cards!).  I also purchased a package of the 6 x 6 inch fabric paper and plan to use it on some cards.
 

I used Base Camp and Storybook cartridges to complete my layout.  I cut the phrase Happy 50th Birthday with Base Camp and attached the letters to the flag banner at the top of the fabric paper. I then cut a two layer tag using Storybook where I matted the computer printed journaling.  My friend Kathy gives me grief for not journaling often enough so I am working to mend my ways!

I cut an extra tag set and affixed it under the edge of one of the HUGE-I-FIED Prima flowers.  The other Prima flower is on the left page, afloat on a field of flowers.  I used three lazer cut pink flowers from my stash of long ago purchased die cuts.  Between die cuts and alphabets that I no longer purchase, I should be saving money... Well, except for those new cartridges!!

I have to say that I quite like the Dear Lizzy Fabric Paper and look forward to using more.  I am not sure where else you can purchase the fabric paper, but I plan to "google" it and find out if there are other patterns.
