Hello, friends:}
I just love love love Saturdays---I love visiting the EIC and checking out our featured stores!! This week we are headed to Artwork by Lori. WOW! Lori has three Etsy stores! You can be inspired by any of her stores: here, here, or here.
I created two fun projects. This first one was inspired by this fortune cookie. I needed to make an Easter project for a friend who is in the Air Force. I thought this fun American Crafts paper would work perfectly--since the paper has bunnies and eggs! I put Easter verses on the fortune, and made the take-out box from coordinating paper. Simple! LOVE it! Hope he likes it! **NOTE:: Sorry for the horrible pic! Must take another one in the sunlight!
I also made a card for his mom. They just recently put their dog to sleep. When I saw this print of a cat, I knew what I wanted to make. I used my Unity Bella Blvd. dog with my August 2009 KOTM wing stamps. The clouds are from the Ippity set Sweet Thoughts of Spring. LOVE how this turned out--those feathers are super cute:} **NOTE:: I totally made this while skyping with Ashley!! LOVE IT! Thanks for crafting with me:}
That's it for me today--but don't worry! The EIC DT members have created some pretty amazing creations to share with you today! LOVE IT!

Today I'm sharing three cards that I made--I couldn't help myself! Cathy Walters has super cute pendants!! This first creation is actually a tag. It was created using my Artistic Outpost stamps. I stamped the background with the text/eggs and then distressed it. I wanted it to look as close to the inspiration photo as possible. Then I stamped the nest and cut it smaller--then using my brown burlap string {available at Limelight}, I made the nest 3D! LOVE it! Then I made the eggs blue--it makes them pop more. The sentiment is from Ippity's What Matters Most set. LOVE LOVE LOVE this tag!!
This next card was inspired by the owl pendant and created using woodgrain paper from DCWV. The owl and sentiment is from Unity's What A Hoot set. LOVE it! I wanted that owl to look like the photo--but with more color and dimension!
My last card was created based on the butterfly pendant. I really liked how it looked with words and a butterfly--so I created a muted red and brown card. I love how the metal frame holds the sentiment {Ippity's Regal Greetings} and butterfly {Unity's Naturally You}. I wanted the butterfly to be with more shine--so I added glossy accents. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
That's it for me--but there are prizes waiting for you! I will be giving one lucky person the Unity set How Far Can One Go. ACK--LOVE LOVE LOVE Unity!! And don't worry--there are prizes on each of our DTs' blogs!! So stop by there to win a prize:
