Book worms

I made these for my youngest kid's teacher. She wanted to give them to her students on the last of school, they are cut from Create A Critter and 2-1/2

 

This was the finished product!

Mother's Day letters

This year instead of expecting my kids to not fight and carry on all day, I decided that I was going to write each of them a letter so they knew how much I love them and without them I wouldn't be a mother.

Another quick card gift set

Here is one more quick card set using the same pattern that I posted about HERE

 

 

Cross cross box with card set.

I found this cute pattern on Pinterest and had to give it a try. I used not quite 2 pieces of pattern card stock its Bo Bunny Abby Road Vine and about 1/3 of one 12x12 sheet (blue) card stock as well as the 3 sheets of white card stock for the card bases. Krazy for Kraft trendy twine. Stamp sets used are all close to my heart, banner wishes, hello tweety and just for you and ink was heavenly blue and chocolate. The directions for the box can be found here.

Shamrock garland

I made this quick paper shamrock garland for st patricks day. I used 3 shades of green cardstock and also a glitter card stock and cut my shamrocks at 2-1/2 from designers caledar. 

Lucky your my friend!

This is a card I made a few weeks ago. I know st. Patricks is over but I still wanted to share. Ink is close to my heart. Stamp is from Unity. Used a chevron embossing folder for the background papers and fussy cut around the stamp then adhered it with pop dots. I added a square brad in the center of the clover to finish it off and tied some peapod twine from The Twinery around it. Card stock is bazzill

Twine Holder

Here is the twine holder my husband made for me. the main part is just a piece of wood we had laying around. I went to the store and found a dowel that closely fit the size of the spools and then had him cut lengths of it to put the spools on. He painted the whole thing white for me and then we used some smaller pieces of wood and attached those to the wall first and then attached the main piece to those at an angle.

Valentine countdown treats

For the last few years I have tried to do something special for my kids leading up to Valentine's Day, this is what I came up with...

Some hugs and kisses for you!

 

Valentine I like the way you roll (rolos)

Valentine I'm hooked on you! (gummy worms)

Valentine you're a "beary" good kid! (gummy bears)

Valentine you're a great CATCH! (Swedish fish)

so many Riesens why I love You!

You're a GEM! (ring pop)

Mint to be together! (life savors)

I've gotta "crush" on you!

This is all their mailboxes lines up :) I usually end on the 14th with chocolate fondue but this year I had pink eye so dang bad that my eye was swollen shut and I really thought I was going to be blind :(

 P.S. the hearts were cut from Doodlecharms at 2-1/2

Valentine heart wreath

This was super time consuming just so you know! I think I used 1-1/2 yards of light pink felt and  I had just received a birthday gift with this cool animal print ribbon on it so I decided it would go perfectly on my wreath :)
