As you all know, I'm extremely partial to the Craft Parts, so I'm delighted to be offering up a couple of creations this month for the Calico blog. The first of them is over there today, so I hope this sneak peek will persuade you to hop across and check it out. You may recognise the birds from my recent ATC, but these are a different size and with a whole lot more going on behind them. See if you can find the hidden Easter egg!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you all enjoy the Easter weekend, whatever you're up to and whatever the weather hurls at you.
In the spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.

If you don't mind hopping to see the full project...
I'd love to share this at Try It On Tuesday where they would like us to Add a Quote
And at Mixed Media World it's Anything Goes with a Twist - the optional twist is to use watercolours... I don't think my very watery acrylics count (always with a water brush!), but it is optional after all
At Altered Eclectics it is their usual Anything Goes as long as it's altered/mixed media - no cards or ATCs
At the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge they're looking for Spring Colour Inspiration
At Rhedd's Creative Spirit they are looking for altered art/mixed media (no cards, tags, papercrafted items) but other than that Anything Goes
