Just Us Girls #626 -- WORD Week

I am hosting WORD week at Just Us Girls.  I would like you to draw inspiration from the word EGG.  Easter is approaching and I would not surprised if many of you thought Easter egg...but what about nest eggs, fried eggs,  Cadbury eggs (yum!), ostrich eggs... oh, so many eggs!

When I was a kid (long long time ago), my grandmother and her sisters lived in the Bronx, in a neighborhood called Fordham that bordered the Grand Concourse.  I loved being able to go into the city to see them because there was always something fun to do.  There was a bakery called Krums (long out of business), and at Easter they would make large, hollowed out eggs from something sparkly and sugary.  There would be a small hole at one end and you could look in and see a cute Easter scene.  I have no idea how they made those eggs but they are as clear as day in my mind.  Thus the origin of my card.

I made an Easter egg filled with bunnies and flowers set in pink glitter.  I messed up the sentiment when my hand slipped.  Have you ever had that happen?  Like most cardmakers, I found a fix. I created a sentiment strip and overlaid the mistake.  It is a shame.  The card would have been so much cleaner without the added strip.

Please check out the design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

Enjoy!  I am looking forward to your egg-inspired creations in the galley.
