Easter treats

It's Friday!  Fridays are my day off (it's a perk of making your own schedule!) so I got a chance to craft a little today.  We're working with a temporary computer until HP ships us a replacement for the one that died a month after we got it, so I don't have access to my Silhouette Studio or Cricut Craft Room right now (the temporary computer is a really old laptop that we just reformated and are hoping will not die on us until we have the new one in our hands, so we're not stressing it out with too many programs loaded on it).  That meant that today I went old school crafting!

I found these carrot shaped candies at our grocery store.  I used some Easter egg paper from Paper Studio as the base, then punched it with a Martha Stewart punch.  The bunny is cut from Doodlecharms and his facial features are colored in with colored pencil for a soft, pastel look.  I had originally cut the bunny from Four Legged Friends, but after I was done I realized he looked kind of scary for some reason.  Like he was more likely to kill me in my sleep than hide eggs in my house.  So I decided to go with Doodlecharms instead.

I cut the purple tag by hand and stamped a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Simply Blessings stamp set.  It's actually all in one line, but I taped it off with some washi tape because I wanted it to be in two lines instead.

I didn't realize until I was editing the photo that I totally covered up the green part of the wrapper. Doh!

I'm entering this project into the following challenges:
Red Carpet Studios Challenges- Hop
Jaded Blossom- Easter
Craftin' Desert Divas- Anything Goes
Bitten by the Bug 2- Easter
Die Cuttin Divas- Pastel Colors
Simon Says Stamp, Wednesday Challenge- Happy Easter/Sweet Treats
