Spring Forward Blog Hop

Hello my wonderful friends!!!!!!! Welcome to the Spring Forward Blog Hop.

I'm so happy you are here!!!!! I hope you are here after visiting Carrie at Double Click Connections - AKA A Busy Bee - I know, she's amazing isn't she!!!!!!! I just love her work!! If you happened to stop by here first, make sure you start at the beginning of the hop with Lora at Notes from the Scrapbooklady! You'll want to stop by all the blogs and leave comments to be eligible for the main hop candy. :)

This hop is themed around Easter or Spring. Well, I did a little bit of both. :) For those of you that know a little about me, I often 'craft' with my little ones. So, for the first project I went for Easter themed and had a 'little' help. Every year we do a scavenger hunt for my little ones **by we, I mean me - I get to create the hints because hubby can't rhyme to save his life**. :) LOL! This year I decided to let my little ones help (and they didn't even know it).

I printed off eight egg shapes (using word) and had my little ones color them.

We then cut out the eggs (with child friendly scissors of course).

I also created and printed off the hints and put them on the back of the pretty colored eggs. Now they're ready for me **Easter Bunny** to hide. :)

My second project was a fun little Easter/Spring card.

This beautiful little chick was cut at 2.5 along with the egg. The nest was cut at 1.5; all images were from Create a Critter. The background paper was a single that I had, so I don't know the brand; the rest of the papers were scraps. The stamp is an older one, so I'm not sure who made it (again, sorry)! I put some flock on the belly of the chick (for added dimension). I also added some Glossy Accents to the beak to make it shiny. Now what is a card without a little bit of bling. :)

I love to be in blog hops because I get to give things away. :) Since I wish everyone could win, I decided everyone could. I've decided to give everyone a PDF copy of the Easter Basket hints and the eggs to color. Click here to download it. :) I know most of the hints are fairly simple (for younger children), but I am more than happy to help anyone think up some rhymes for your own scavenger hunt. If you'd like help, just leave me a comment asking for help. I hope you enjoy these!!

Now that you've seen my projects I'm going to send you on to visit Karel at One by One the Flamingos are Stealing My Sanity. You'll love what she has in store for you!!!!!! Thanks for stopping by!!!
