SUMMER MINI SNEAK PEEK

As most of you know our Summer Mini is just around the corner, it will start May 1st. I'm really excited to say that there are a lot of fun stamp sets, accessories and great color combination ideas coming our way. Here is one of my sneak peeks. I used the New Square Lattice embossing folder for my background. I'm really loving this folder and seem to be using it a whole lot. I love the texture that it gives the card stock. I wanted to keep my "thank you" cards quick and simple, I'm so behind on getting them out so I didn't want complicated!

Supplies:

Paper: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Old Olive, Whisper White and Sweet Pea DSP

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Stamp Set: Fox & Friends, Thank you Kindly

Accessories: Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Scallop Circles #2 Die, 1 3/8 circle Punch, 1 1/4 circle punch, dimensionals

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMMIE & CHRISTTIAN

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I made these cards a couple weeks ago but am just now getting around to posting them. I made one for my niece that just turned 2 actually Sammie and Caleb are only 12 days apart, and the other for Caleb's little buddy Christtian who as you can tell by the card just turned 3. I saw this layout on Andrea Walford's blog a blog that I frequent or as some may say stalk! I thought the layout was great and I'm always looking for new layout ideas. I did add a few of my own touches to this card. What originally caught my eye when I first saw her card was how she displayed the age in one of the boxes. Absolutely loved that idea! You can view her card here, Thanks for sharing Andrea!

So be sure to sport your greens today because you never know who is going to be on the look out waiting to pinch! Have a great St. Patty's day and I hope you can enjoy this beautiful weather that we are having!

CALEB'S GOODY BAGS

OK so here is my 2nd post for the day. I wanted to share with you the goodies bags that I put together for all of the little kiddos that came Caleb's birthday party yesterday. I wanted to do something cute and simple. I used the Lots of Tags Die to create these little tags. Once again I used the Fox & Friends Stamp Set and Sweet Pea DSP tied them on with 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain Ribbon and Voila they were done. I was really happy with the way that they came out.

My son's 2nd birthday party was yesterday with all of his little friends! Boy was it a lot of fun watching the little kids run around and and having fun in bouncing around in the jumpers. Thanks you to those of you that came to Caleb's party and making his day special.

Yesterday you had a sneak peak, this is what I used them for. I wanted to dress up his cupcakes and tie in a his monkey/safari theme so I thought this would be a fun idea and simple way to do it. I really liked the y way they turned out. The sticks that they are on are actually coffee stirrers. These particular ones are from Starbucks it made it easy because their flat.
