Happy Easter!

Hello Friends! Happy Easter! I'm literally just "hopping" in to share the Easter treats I made for Paige's teachers and classmates. I promised my husband that I would start getting ready for church early today, and I definitely don't want to break that promise!

I made these sweet peeps treats for the kiddos.
I found the printable tags on Pinterest. These were super easy to make, just pop them on the decorative straw, add some cellophane and baker's twine, and you're done! As I like to say, Easy Peasy!!
 
Next are the treat boxes for her teachers.
 
I made these boxes with my Silhouette by printing the patterned paper onto some heavyweight cardstock. That cute little chick was also a Print & Cut from the Silhouette Design Store. It truly gets no easier than this! I added some chocolate inside the box, added a bow and the gifts were done. The teachers absolutely loved them!
 
Well that's it for me today, thank you so much for stopping by!

Thank you

Hello Friends! I hope you had a great weekend! I think I'm finally starting to get used to "springing forward" with the time change. Hopefully today will be the start of a wonderful week!

Today, I'm sharing a thank you card that I made for my co-worker's wife. I've been having a really hard time finding someone to braid Paige's hair on a regular basis. So, she recommended a hair salon just for kids! Unfortunately, it's an hour away from my house but the stylist did a fantastic job! I've decided that we'll take the trip down there once a month. That shouldn't be too bad, plus Paige looks really cute so it's worth it! Here's the thank you card I made.
I found that cute little girl in the Silhouette Design Store, it was a print and cut file. I just added that gorgeous plaid patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and that script Thanks sentiment is from PTI, the stamp set is called Graceful Greetings. Another super easy card with super cute results!
 
That's it for me today, I hope to back soon with more crafty goodness to share! Have a fantastic day and thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Beautiful

Hello Friends! Happy Friday! The weekend is finally here and I am ready to enjoy it! I don't know how the weather is in your neck of the woods, but it's been absolutely beautiful here. Low 80's, low humidity, really nice. We're planning on spending some time with David's extended family tomorrow night and that should be a lot of fun. Lots of food, drinks, games and plenty of laughter. That's always a recipe for a good time!

Today, I have a birthday card to share with you.
The first thing I want to say about this card is it had me at Hello! Calling me Beautiful was just icing on the cake - LOL! So, I've recently started to broaden my crafting horizons by purchasing stamps and inks for other companies. I must say that Simon Says Stamp is starting to become a favorite of mine! I bought their February Card Kit and I have not been disappointed.
 
I stamped the sentiment from the February Card Kit and the female silhouette at the bottom is a stamp from PTI's Fashion Sense set. The set was available during their 2015 Stamp-A-Faire and was free with purchase. I made this card along with a few others for my co-worker, she told me that she absolutely loved the cards and can't wait to start mailing them out. That always makes me feel so good!
 
Well, that's it for me today. I hope you have a great weekend, and thank you so much for stopping by!
