Good Egg & GIVEAWAY!

This is a personal blog. All editorial content and projects are intellectual property of ashleyhortondesigns.com. I do receive compensation and material product from Pink Paislee to develop my craft posts, but all ideas and opinions are my own. 

Happy Good Friday and Easter weekend!  I have a lot of photos from last year's Easter weekend, but somehow I haven't put any of them on layouts yet.  So I decided to make one!  I used the Fancy Free collection by Paige Evans from Pink Paislee, with the Hoppy Easter cut file set from The Cut Shoppe 

AND I AM GIVING AWAY A LITTLE PRIZE AT THE END OF THE POST...SO MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!

I love searching Pinterest for inspiration, and I came across several Easter banners.  I thought that would be a fun idea to translate to my layout.  I cut the banner pieces on my Silhouette Cameo, using a mix of patterned papers from the Fancy Free collection and from White cardstock.  Once I had all of the banner pieces arranged on the background paper, I machine stitched through all of them.


I wanted to add watercolor to the layout, so I painted the White cardstock banner pieces with colors that coordinated with the Fancy Free collection.  I embellished all of the banner die cuts with ephemera, Thickers, chipboard and die cuts from the Hoppy Easter cut file set.  And I added a Flair Button from A Flair for Buttons.  


I love the bright colors in this collection, and mixing them with the cut file from The Cut Shoppe, made for the perfect Easter layout!


Now, it's time for a GIVEAWAY!!  I am giving away a $10 Gift Certificate to The Cut Shoppe!  All you need to do is comment below, and I will announce a random winner on Monday, May 28th!  Just make sure you check back on Monday, to see if you're a winner!
