MCT 14th Edition Spring Blog Hop!

Welcome to another fabulous blog hop featuring 
the new spring releases by My Creative Time!!

***HUGE GIVEWAY ALERT***
For our giveway today, we are  giving ONE LUCKY winner a $100 Gift Certificate to "My Creative Time's" new online store!  All you have to do is leave a comment on each designer's blog {remember to leave a way for me to contact you!!!!!} Each designer will choose a finalist who will be entered into the final drawing, giving you 18 chances to win! The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you have to win, so get going! ;) 
Deadline is midnight, Sunday, February 19. 
GOOD LUCK!

For my project today, I've used the Happy Hunting set...

and the new Hello Spring stamp AND layered egg die set!


You couldn't get any more springy than a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt! So I made this sweet little french fry box Easter basket! It's the perfect little candy treat box for little ones who may not be into the huge egg hunt thing, or for a Sunday School class, Easter Brunch table favors, or just a sweet something for someone special.


I didn't have any "appropriate" candy to fill it with so I have pretend eggs in there for now. ;) The paper eggs will be replaced when the Easter candy comes out {if I know what's good for me! haha!!!}


If you started here on my blog, you'll want to hop on over to Emma's blog at My Creative Time to start at the beginning and to see her video showing the full release. You're gonna love it! 

Thanks for hopping with us!  Be sure to leave your contact info in your comment in case you win -- last time I had to put three numbers into the random generator before I found someone who left me their contact info!!! Don't be a one of the unlucky ones. ;) 



Product List:
Check out the NEW MCT store!!! Grand Opening going on NOW!!! :)

My Creative Time, Hello Spring
Quickutz french fry box die
Pattern papers by My Mind's Eye, Vanity Fair 6x6 paper pad
Bazzill textured cardstock

A p.s. for those who asked about the flowers with the scalloped circle die. I will do my very best to do a tutorial on that. In the meantime, in the coming week, I'll post a pictorial showing each step - you'll be amazed how easy. Really!
