Happy Birthday with Sprinkles on Top!

Hello Friends! I hope you're having a great week thus far, it's HUMP DAY! Don't those camel commercials crack you up?! Well, my week started out kind of tough because Paige had a fever on Monday morning. Poor thing, she's getting about 4 teeth at one time and it's really wreaking havoc on her! But, we gave her lots of TLC and she's doing much better.

Today, I have a fun card/gift to share. I think that Betsy Veldman is one of the most talented crafters out there. She does these fabulous kits for Papertrey Ink and the one I recently received is Shakers and Sprinkles. Oh my goodness is this awesome! It's so pretty and so fun! I made this shaker card for my co-worker and I only used the pieces in the kit along with some PTI cardstock. I also decorated a small gift box that I got at the Container Store, and the sentiment "Hope your birthday was the balm!" was taken from this post on Pinterest. Inside the box is EOS lip balm...cute, right!

 

I stamped the outside of the box using PTI's Daydreamer stamp set. My co-worker loved her gift (even though it was tad bit late!)

 

Well, I hope you enjoyed today's post, and I hope you don't get tired of these shaker cards because you will be seeing them again, and again, and again. :-) Have a great day, and thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm Back!

Hello Friends, and Happy New Year! I know I've been MIA for awhile, but I'm back! The holidays truly got away from me this year and I found myself last minute shopping like never before! I have vowed not to let that happen to me again this year! And now that I have a year of motherhood under my belt, I'm ready to start diving head first into my crafting. I really let it slide last year, and rightfully so, this little girl I know named Paige needs me! LOL! With all that said, I hope your holidays were fantastic and I also hope that your year is off to a great start.

Speaking of the new year, I really didn't make any resolutions this year. The one thing I told myself that I would do is be more organized. More organized, at home, at work, and in my craft room! Believe it or not, I made my very first trip to the Container Store last week...I {heart} that store! I really didn't know what to do with myself, I was completely overwhelmed! I would love for them to organize my craft room, it's on my "Honey, please, please, please" list. Don't know if it's going to happen - more than likely not, but a girl can dream! Aside from being more organized, I've decided to do a craft show this year. I'm VERY excited! My girlfriend Leslie will come down and partner with me, she's also one crafty mama! I'll keep you posted on that.

Well, that's a quick update from me, and I thought I would leave you with a couple of crafty projects I made for Christmas. The first project was for Paige's teachers. I did a movie theme, and inside the movie ticket was a gift card for a free RedBox movie rental. I added Raisinettes and microwave popcorn to complete the gift.

The second project was for my co-workers. That cute label was cut with my Silhouette and adhered to the bag. I included nail polish, nail file, foot pumice, and a toe separator. Super cute, and easy!

And lastly, I'll leave you with a photo of my sweet baby girl.

 



That's it for now! I'm happy to be back and I hope you all missed me a little! I hope to be posting more often this year, as I certainly plan to be crafting more often. Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!
