Easter Goodies From Nursery!

Lily came home from school with some beautiful Easter goodies. She had made a stunning Easter basket out of a paper plate, a beautiful Easter card with fingerprint chicks and bunnies, a yummy nest cake complete with chick and eggs, and a plant to care for over Easter. Beautiful creations from a beautiful little girl. x

Tweeting greetings....

 

Another crafty adventure, this time some beautiful bird cards. This is the example card I made the girls for some inspiration, although they both created their own individual birdys.....

 

 

What we did:

• I cut out some bird shapes freehand from scrap patterned papers (which had been half used in scrapbooking).
• The girls chose a bird shape and glued it to the card front.

• They then gave their birds feathered wings, and pom pom eyes.

• They added some chalk legs and some freestyle chalked backgrounds.
• We then added some secret messages inside and popped them in the post box.

The finished cards, and the proud crafters:

 

 

 

 

I think homemade cards, gifts and postcards mean so much more than anything that can be bought in a shop... What do you think???
