Easter Treat Boxes - Repost

Easter Treat Containers

I made these for my DT day over at Creative Critterz Imaginations. The theme for the last 2 weeks has been Easter. I designed these in Cricut Craft Room. The box and grass is from the Easter 2010 cartridge. I sized the boxes at 6" and the grass at about 1.5" and filled them in with paper from the Imagine Blossom cartridge. I glued the boxes together and then added the grass tied ribbon or twine around that and then filled little bags with candy and put in the box. These went together super fast and are so easy. They would be a good project to do if you have to make a lot of something.

Calendar

Did I mention how much I love my Imagine? Just kidding, I know I say it all the time, but I do love this machine!

To make this calendar, I first printed a 12x12 sheet from the Blossom cartridge. I then went into CCR and made the calendar from Designer's calendar. The days of the week and numbers are from cricut classic font. The days are at .5" I pushed them together some to fit over the column, the numbers at .3" then filled in with black. I then put the printed paper back in the Imagine and did a print only of the calendar. I then cut the croc at 2.5" from crocs rule the tulips at 2" from walk in my garden. I added glossy accents as rain drops on and around the croc and the umbrella, I also added some to the tulips. I drew in the crocs teeth with a white gel pen the ones that cut out were way to small to work with. I got the frame from Hobby Lobby, had to trim about an 1/8" off two sides of the paper to get it to fit the frame. Sorry about the reflection on the glass. Then you can write on this with a dry erase marker. I got the idea for this from Kerry.
