Easter

Well, its SPRING! Or at least, I think it is. The weather has been playing tricks!

However, here are a few fun and easy Easter projects.

My "He lives" banner, because "He lives, all glory to his name!"

A super easy scripture count down.

And a spring wreath!

Hearts are in!

I have a growing obsession with holiday banners. Since January is over, the old one  had to go. But the space above our bay is too empty without it, so it was time for something new and festive.

Supplies
- Basic pink card stock
- Valentine day stamps
- 2 corresponding pink stamp pads (one lighter and one darker)
- Letter Stamps
- Large heart cookie cutter
- Craft Sponges
- Pink Curling ribbon
- Tape
- Rectangular hole punch

1. Trace 15 hearts onto paper with cookie cutter. Cut them out.

2, Stamp Valentine stamps on the hearts, either with the lighter or darker ink, depending on the look you want. ( I did both throughout my banner.)

3. Stamp the letters on top of the background stamping, with the darker ink.

4. Smear your sponge in the ink, and carefully brush the edges for a vintage look.
5. Put two holes on either side of each heart.
5. String the hearts on the ribbon, put a piece of tape on the back to hold the heart in place.
6. Hang on the wall, curl the ends of the ribbon, cut to desired length.

New Years Fun

I got a new camera.

Now I can do this.

If you notice in the background, there is my "Happy New Year" banner.

So, I know you can't read the banner, but it says "Happy New Year", each pennant has been stamped with ink  the same color as the paper, to create soft background pattern. Then I put an ivory circle on top of the pennant, which I stamped a brown letter on and sponged with brown ink.

I made the pennants out of an 8 1/2'' by 11'' piece of paper, which I cut into fourths. Then I made a mark on  the paper width wise, at the half way mark (2 1/8''). To cut the triangle, cut on the diagonal line from this center mark, to the upper corner. 

It was simple, it was fun... and addicting. This is one of three banners I've made. 

Happy New Years Eve!!!!!!
