My project :) Egg Tree
Close Up

I cut the tree using the fit to page button.
I cut off the baby carriage and used ink to distress the tree.
I then cut the eggs and I also used the flip button, so that I can glue two eggs back-to-back.

Materials Used
Cartridges: Baby Shower (tree cut at fit to page)
                  Doodlecharms (eggs cut at 2 1/2 inches)
