There's definitely some Spring Fever going around out there from the looks of things as far as we can tell from the hundred plus comments posted here over the weekend. Either you're staying "in the house" to clean and catch up on a room or two that's been neglected all Winter long, or you're desperately seeking to get outside (whether the snow has melted or not!) to fine tune the disarrayed garden and grass that is currently dominating the backyard. It also appears that a few of you have worked up plans for a fresh batch of Spring projects! Hopefully some Crate will find it's way into all that craftiness!! If you're still without our Emma's Shoppe, now is you're chance to add it to your stash for them upcoming projects!! Today's giveaway is just that - Emma's Shoppe {Two Total Collections = Two Winners}! Tell us what you'll do with it and we'll announce the winners on Wednesday!! We look forward to reading your numerous responses..it'll bound to inspire everyone visiting the blog!
Kaori brings out a softer side of our dear Emma's Shoppe, though she still manages to bring forth lots of beautiful layers that her style is so commonly known for. She's also not skipped out on the acrylic, but it looks more attuned to dew drops which are so very pretty. We'd love to see an up close peek of'em - they're absolutely perfect for Spring!
Totally technique based and sweetly made for her daughter's room, Kinsey Wilson sent us her Easter celebratory tree creatively constructed with fuzzy piping and multi-layered ornaments. There's quite a few underlying techniques to try out here..the options are plenty and amply well thought out! Our favorite is the circle with the large Emma's Shoppe red wooden button - it's one of Lisa's favorites!!
Wouldn't this be a nice lil' addition to your home or front door entrance to greet your family members on Easter? Sneak in a treat or two as a welcoming gift "just for fun"- Lori Gentile is the artist of this exquisite showpiece. She suggested filling it with candies and other delightful edibles in time for Easter!
Neighborhood is really our classic "Spring" collection - it can be used for just about any Spring themed project. Sarah Martina paired it with a delicate, charming Easter card/glassine envelope that is too-cute-for-words!! Imagine this showing up in your mailbox right before the big holiday?! Quite Heavenly.
A tag to sit next to the Easter Basket is something that every child would enjoy - after it's been recognized, you could easily preserve it as a keepsake or as part of layout celebrating the events of the special day. It's small enough that it shouldn't take a whole lot of time to do either - dress it up to suite your taste (or your child's)! This tag is from our Creative Keepsakes designer/editor, Mou Saha!
Remember to leave a comment before you go to be included in our drawing for the Emma's Shoppe giveaway!! Tomorrow will be our final day of "Spring Fever", but we've saved the very best for last!! You're just going to have to stop by tomorrow to find out what sort of surprise we have up our sleeves - especially all you organizers out there!! :) Hint. Hint. Need a box anyone?
Always blown away!!!!

well, Emmas Shoppe, is wonderful and besides just gazing at the wonderfulness, I have some sweet baby pics of my DD just waiting to be scrapped. Not sure why I was waiting to scrap them, but perhaps I was waiting for Emma's Shoppe!

I love Emma's Shoppe and I have a year's worth of photos of my 13 month old daughter that need to be scrapped! They would be the perfect combination!

Gorgeous inspiration today :)
I have the 6x6 pad and have been making cards but I would love to have some Emma's Shoppe to scrapbook some layouts of my family and maybe even an OTP for my DD's room!

Emma's Shoppe takes me back to my childhood in the 70s. To me, it is a floral retro design and I love it! No bellbottoms please!

Beautiful projects! This line is simply calling my name(very loudly!) I'm hoping to do childhood albums for my grown daughters & this line would be perfect.

All of these projects are just so bright and beautiful! Definitely whishing for milder weather! Can't wait to use Emma's Shoppe to scrap pretty pictures!!!!!!

Oh! These projects are so cute! All those embellies on that darling tree of Kinsey's would be great on layouts or cards.

Emma's Shoppe is such a pretty and fun collection. I've been meaning to scrapbook some photos/memories of myself when I was younger and I think this would be the perfect collection to do that with! Thanks for the chance to win!

What fun projects for Easter. I love them ALL. I just love this time of year, it is so refreshing. Thanks for sharing

I would make springy and girly layouts, some cards for easter and mothers day, and maybe, and quite possibly, mix it with some of the toy box and neighborhood collection! and make even more cards and layouts!
Posted by: Sherry | April 04, 2011 at 07:54 AM
Of course, I'd make some layouts to feature my daughter!
Posted by: MichelleR | April 04, 2011 at 07:55 AM
I would make some fabulous Easter cards and then scrap a few of my Tea Party pictures since this is such a feminine line and I love it!!!
