One of our family tradition for Easter is colouring eggs together and then on the morning before brunch running around the house hunting for chocolate eggs.

I made this card using pattern papers from two different packs. Scaredy Cat (X7185B)  (meant for Halloween) and Confetti Wishes (X7198B)  (meant for Birthday). The colours go perfect together with thistle ink and cardstock. I used Easter Wishes stamp set. (B1422)  and coloured the chick with the ShinHan markers.

The best part of the hunt is the SURPRISE as to what you find.  so I used an adhesive spring (Z1725) behind the chick... to make him wobble in his egg shell.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Krista from Oshawa's blog. If you get lost along the way, you can head to Michelle's blog, as she has the complete blog list.

MAKE IT Crafty Hop - Easter/Spring Creations

Welcome to the •MAKE•IT•Crafty• Seasonal Blog Hop! This month we will be featuring Easter or Spring creations.

If you’ve arrived from Diana's blog, you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here.

This month we have a number of Close To My Heart Consultants from Ottawa sharing their creations using various CTMH products to help you get over the winter blues.

 For me, the first sign of Spring is St Patrick's Day !!  Everyone wears green, paints shamrocks on their face, stands in the cold to see the parade and then ends up at the pub for some singalongs and drinking.

I know a little leprechaun, my mischievous and clever 6-yr old nephew.  He loooves candy and chocolates, so I made him his very own pot of gold... I decorated the Cut Above Holiday Treat Bag, it's the perfect shade of green.

 

St Patty's Day Pot of Gold

Outside on the front
I glued a gold chocolate coin at the bottom of the rainbow. For the bag topper I made a shamrock. and used the white chalk marker (Z1767) to trim the edge of ther leaves.  For the stem, I took the striped green washi tape (Z2002) and folded it lengthwise onto itself.

TIP: To make the shamrock, I used the Cricut to cut out 3 hearts out of green Topiary cardstock ( and glued them together using CTMH adhesive dots (Z1903).


CTMH's adhesive dot is strong
just peel back the protective pink plastic

Inside
I took one of the Picture My Life cards with the rainbow, positioned it just so, so you could see it through the window. At the very bottom of the holder, I taped gold dotted washi tape so it looked like gold coins.

When I present the treat holder, it will be filled with a bag with gold chocolate coins. I know a little guy who will be happy to get this.
