Easter Bunnies hopping to Kinder!

Nathan wanted to 'help' me make treats for his class for Easter.
 
We went to the store and he picked out all the candy we would use.
 
Then we came home and got to work stuffing the bags with Easter grass and all of
our fun Easter candy we found.
 
That was where my 'help' started and ended!
The little rabbit only filled one bag! He left the rest to me!
 
:-)
 
Heres what I came up with
 


 
 
We made 26 total- he wanted to be sure he had an extra for Mrs. Franklin and her son <3
 
I have lots of crafts to do this week- seems like its birthday season!
 
 
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

22 Years Young!

My Baby Brother, Adam, just celebrated his 22nd Birthday!
 
Here we are on his BIRTH-day
 
 
I made his birthday card to look like the mascot at his school, Grizz!
 
The school colors are black and gold- not a color scheme I am used to, but I am happy with the end result!
 

 
He LOVED the card and knew I was going for Grizz right away!
Its hard to tell but the background paper is gold shimmer. The balloons are from create a critter cricut cartridge and the Bear is from Teddy Bear Parade. I will admit that I need some work with paper piecing my bears together, haha!
 



 
I used some totally black Trendy Twine and the stamp is Jaded Blossom.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Another Birthday Wish!

So  I totally did it again....
 
 I haven't blogged since March 18th! Eeeek!
 
Well I haven't really crafted much, but I do have a few things to share this coming week.
 
I made this fairy card for my Mother in law on her Birthday!
 
 
I finally tried the 'Bokeh' technique that everyone is doing.
My review is that I am simply not patient enough for it.
Its pretty and ethereal, but it is also very messy and takes too long.
 
I used (my favorite) card mat dies from Jaded Blossom and stamps from
Sweet Stamp Shop. The sweet fairy is from A Childs First Year Cricut cartridge.
I sprayed the entire card with glimmer mist to make it sparkle!
 
Heres a few more views:



 
That's it for now, but I have more posts scheduled!
