Baby Shower Gift

My husband needed a baby shower gift for some co-workers...both mom & dad to be work with him. Actually, I am so behind on posting that they actually had their baby boy already!! Anyways, this is what I came up with...

Here's the card I made for them...quick and simple

...and this is the gift I put together. It's supposed to be a diaper cake bike but not too sure if you can tell from the pictures

Thank you so much for stopping by. Sorry for my junkie pictures! I'm so behind on my projects that I'm always having to take pictures with my phone's camera right before they are being delivered to their recipients! YIKES!

Easter RAKs

Here are some Easter RAK's I got from a couple of awesome sweet friends.

This adorable box was made by Mama! Thank you so much for thinking of me Mama...I love it!

And this adorable Easter basket is from Brenda! It's always such a treat when I receive happy mail like this!! Thank you so much Brenda...you are always so thoughtful!

I actually ended up seeing Brenda in the afternoon on Easter and she gave me these boxes for my son and daughter. Aren't they adorable? She said her daughters helped her make them that morning! Amazing...they are as talented as their mom! :-)

Look what was inside...ADORABLE Easter cupcakes!

Thank you again so very much Mama and Brenda for your thoughtfulness and especially for your friendship!

Happy Easter

This is about 65 bunnies that I cut out for Easter goodies for both my son's and daughter's classes, their teachers, and a few good friends.

This is what I put together for my kid's classmates...homemade sidewalk chalk paint! :-)

Super fast bag toppers...used my top note die, watermark stamped eggs on it, added the Happy Easter greeting, and finished off by adhering the cute little bunny!

Here's what I gave to their teachers and a few special friends. I used the pattern that came with the stamp set for the box and finally got to use my embossing borders that I've had for so long but never used!

I hope you had a wonder Easter! Thank you for stopping by!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Well I was browsing the internet for some St. Patrick's Day inspiration and came across some cute little leprechaun pillow boxes! I immediately started digging through my paper and punches for the supplies. I only had to make 12 of these boxes for my daughter's Tiny Tots class but they came together so quickly that I made a few extra for some family members. I picked up some gold foil covered chocolate coins to fill these cute little boxes with and voila! :-)
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you remembered to wear green today! ;-) Happy St. Patrick's day!!

Happy Girl's Day

Here are some super quick and simple Girl's Day gifts I put together today (yes last minute) for my kid's teachers and a few family members. I actually baked the chi chi dango (mochi) with my kids yesterday and had them help me cut it up and roll it in the katakuriko (potato starch) last night. It was definitely a fun and messy evening in our house last night. And on top of that, my kids LOVE chi chi dango so it was quite a challenge getting through the process without them trying to sneak some pieces into their mouths!! :-)

Anyways, this morning I decided to try to dress up the containers that I placed some of the chi chi dango in. I saw this bookmark on SCS and thought it would be the perfect (and quick) little "something" to add to these containers. They came together really fast and surprisingly I had all of the supplies I needed to put these girls together.
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you are enjoying your Girl's Day!!

Housewarming Card

Here is the housewarming card that went along with the Home Made box that I made for my husband. Super quick and easy card to throw together...and it gave me the opportunity to ink up a stamp set that I had never used before...gotta love that!!

Home Made Box

My DH came home from work one day early last week and let me know that he needed a housewarming gift by the end of the week. Well I instantly thought about the haunted houses that Mama made for Halloween! I went to order the template and then found out that the coordinating stamp set for it would not reach me in time for the housewarming party at the end of the week! Well, luckily for me Mama is such a sweet and generous person...she let me borrow her stamp set so that I could finish putting together this little house! I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out since I was rushing to put it all together but my DH was happy with it which was the main thing for me! Thanks again so much Mama for lending me your stamp set...I truly appreciate it! :-)

Yet Another Three Tiered Card

Okay, this is the last three tiered card I'll be posting...for now! :-) Actually, I started working on this one before the other two I posted...but the recipient of this one had not received it yet so I wanted to hold off on posting it.

My initial thought for this card was to make it look like one of those lopsided three tiered cakes that were so popular. But since it was my first try at this card let's just say, I missed some opportunities to add the little details that I had envisioned in my mind. So it is crooked on purpose! LOL!! I'm just super bad with altering measurements!!

Anyways, I hope you had a great weekend! I can't believe that it's the last day of February already! YIKES!

Another Triple Tier Slider Card

Here is another triple tier birthday slider card that I made...kept it similar to the purple one I posted yesterday since the recipients would be opening their gifts together. This one came together much quicker since by this time I had a better understanding of how it all went together!! :-)

Thank you for stopping by!!

Triple Tiered Birthday Card

After running across a tutorial for this triple layered slider card, I knew I had to try and make one. Well I ended up making a few of them. This went to one of my girlfriends who recently celebrated her birthday!
It took me a few tries to get the technique down but once I understood how it all went together, it was pretty easy and fun to put together. Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Valentine's Day RAK

Here is a most "luv"ly Valentine's Day RAK that I received from the super sweet Mama! Thank you so much for the goodies and for thinking of me!! The chocolate is long gone and I am very excited to start using the dyed seam binding!!! :-)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Quick post...here are some goodies I made for my kids teachers this year. A while ago I was surfing the web and found this cute little origami box tutorial and thought I wanted to give it a try. Well I finally got around to trying it out and I must say they were really quick and easy to put together. I used my favorite Create a Critter Cricut cartridge for these...I love that cartridge! Anyways, hope your heart day was full of love and happiness! :-)
