Cookie tote

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week has been good so far. Mine busy, but what is new! ha! Another cool find was this tote that requires no cutting just scoring and glue. I have a tutorial if you want to create your own called Tote One. 

This is holding some cookies that I am sure my friend will love. The scripture is from an older ODBD set called Scripture Collections One. I have a few added rosets from my sweet friend Pat and some flourished jewels in the corners. Great little gift bag don't you think? I am working on several fundraiser gift ideas that I will show you later this week. So be sure to check back in. Have a wonderful day! 

Baby bear greetings

Good morning! I have another baby card to show you. This darling little bear was a digi I found on Pinterest, and I found the link to the freebie digi found HERE. Isn't it the sweetest little bear? He is printed on white card stock and then colored with Copics. Pulled out my Spellbinders Grand Circles for the card shape and added some gingham designer paper to the back panel. Wrapped some ribbon and lace trim around the layers. A star and brad center and voila! Hope you have a wonderful day! 

FS Snow Friends

This weeks Featured Stamper 422 is Laurene. Beautiful gallery and I knew once I saw these snowman in Be Merry I was casing them! hee hee   I kept the theme, similar colors and snowman and friends. Changed the papers, stamps and added a ribbon bow in place of a sentiment panel. Voila

This adorable snowman image is called Snowman Harmony from Whipper Snapper stamps. I stamped the image on white card stock and layered up on dimensionals. Grabbed some of the Christmas designer paper that I have left and wrapped a ribbon bow around the base layers. A few sequins and some sparkles to the snow and voila! This is also for the Dirty Dozen Christmas March challenge. Check it out and play along! Hope you have a great day! 

Friends are special

Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend? Playing with some ink and paper I hope. I will live through you as this weekend is full up for us. We will be on the ball fields doing clean up work, bench work, painting  and more. Oh my.... The life of a sports family I guess.  ;-)  I love every minute of it too! 

The Power and Spark March challenge is up and our host is the wonderful Tosha! She has a great challenge for us all to be inspired by. My card will be later next week, I wanted to show another one of the cards in the gift set I created last week using French Lilacs. 

This one has more traditional feel with the purple and blueish like petals I think. Same basic design with just a few sequins and the button twine wrapped just above the decorative edge of the Spellbinders Die. I have another one just like this in more of the pink hues, for a total of 6 cards (2 of each color)  in the box.  This is a great gift set with just a bit of flair to the card design.  :-)

Yellow birthday Lilacs

Last Friday I showed you part of a gift set using the French Lilacs and promised to share more of the cards in the set. Here is another one in the gift set. This set was designed more as flat rate cards so that I could fit more in the box. I think they can be dressed up even with just a little bit of fluff, don't you?

Very simple with just a decorative die edge along the bottom. Wrapped some bakers twine and a button just above the fancy edge. A few sequins and voila!

Here is a photo of some Yellow Lilacs that were my inspiration. Someone emailed and asked me if they really do come in yellow. And they do!  ;-)  Hope you have a wonderful day!

Days like this...

LOL  Good morning! Do you ever wish? Sometimes... yes!  Hope you have a beautiful sunshine filled day! 

Baby Dress

Good morning! I am going to share with you this baby dress card I created. I have the Baby Dress Tutorial if you would like to create your own. Very easy and not your traditional baby card. How fun is that! This required no fancy tools, just some card stock and an oval die.  :-)  

The bottom is textured with swiss dots and a few added jewels. I remember summer dresses when I was little had ribbon and flowers in the center so I added some to this. This turned out super cute I think. I need to figure out a baby boy one now. Not sure many moms would want a baby dress for a boy. hee hee  Hope you have a wonderful day!
