Gingersnap Creations Color Challenge

I've been so busy this past week I haven't had any time to play.

I decided I had better post something before you all forget me!

Here's a Copper bracelet I made using mostly handmade charms.

My favorite is the faux tintype in the front.

Easter Egg Swap

 I played along with the Easter Egg box swap hosted by JoAnne at Vintage Dragonfly

I received this beauty from JoAnne herself.

Isn't it gorgeous with all those shabby chic flowers and pearls.

Now why I didn't think of doing mine like hers ?

Where you can see the inside at a glance!

Thank you JoAnne I LOVE it!!!!

Do check out her blog her pictures are much better than mine.

Here's mine for Karla. The outside.

Now for some reason I envisioned a hole in the side to peek through.

But of course you can't see anything inside its dark. duhhhhh!!!!

So you have to open the box to let some light in when looking through the hole.

The inside has a little bunny garden with flowers,eggs, watering can,

butterflies and of course some Easter Bunnies.

Hoppy Easter Everyone!
