I'm not sure if this little gal is all dressed up for church or The Shabby Tea Room...
And even her little fuzzy friend is all dressed up...
I just love this little Crafty Secrets image, don't you... 
I thought it fit very well for this week's challenge in The Shabby Tea Room...to incorporate stripes and pastels for an "egg'cellent" creation. The sweet paper is from My Mind's Eye and Crate Paper...love, love, LOVE all of them...such sweet, soft prints!
Well, wherever she's going...I think she'll turn a head or two!! ;) 
One more creation to share...I've been enjoying my vintage egg images from Janet at Etsy. So I thought it only fitting to dress up one of them for the occasion. I used a Tiny Tag and a sentiment from Mixed Messages (both PTI). If you have these tag dies and the old Mixed M. set, they work well together. I didn't realize how tiny those messages were until I purchased the Mega Mixed Messages. (and now they offer the HUMONGO-messages!! I forget what they are really called.)
I dressed up the egg with some trim, tiny posies, ribbon and pearls......and put it all together with some more trim, Prima paper, and PTI stamps for a soft background (BB Tin Types and Fancy Flourishes)...
What a wonderful week to be Guest Designing in the Tea Room...pastels and stripes are a natural for this time of year, don't ya think? Thanks so much to Deb and the rest of the Shabby Girls for this fun opportunity!! Now take another look at that photo up top...head to the Tea Room for even more inspiration...and then go see what "egg'cellent" creation you can come up with to brighten someone's day!Enjoy your Easter week everyone!! I pray that it brings you many opportunities to be reminded of God's great love for all of us!

I have made up a wedding card with a little gown made from a piece of vintage lace (thanks to my friend, Susan! And, yes...it was almost painful to cut into this small but beautiful piece!) I stamped a dress form image (Girls' Paperie) to cut and create a little dress template from creme cardstock. Ran a small piece of the lace through my sticker maker and stuck it to the template, then trimmed the excess away. I gave the dress a little portrait collar with a tiny piece of chiffon. Then after embossing, cutting and edging (inking) another dress form image, I added the dress to it... 
I used some trim to create a little rug to stand the form on. It was some old two-toned tatting (have to thank Susan AGAIN!!) that was already made to be used for a circular shape, so it was very easy to circle it around to create the rug. A little bridal bouquet was made from some tiny creme posies that I inked up slightly with So Saffron ink (SU) and placed on the rug. I had some narrow creme silk ribbon from a previous hobby that I tinted with Ripe Avocado ink...perfect size to tie a tiny bow around the mini bouquet! 
I tried to keep the rest of the card fairly simple for the trims and textures to shine. Under the rug is a piece of pale yellow velvet ribbon that I variegated a little with Ripe Avocado and Spring Moss ink. (I just loved all the velvet trim the designers were able to incorporate from the sponsor this week! So lush!!) Anyway--I think I've covered the details... 
(That rug looks a little large in the photo, but there ain't no turnin' back now!!!) I finished it all off with a Papertrey border die and sentiment. Hope you like it! It was a fun little design!! I want to thank the DT for their inspiration once again this week. I found too many beautiful and surprising details to list. I think this has been one of my favorites so far! They took trims to a whole new level!! So glad you could stop by today! Hope you have a great one! Geri
