A little Easter treat

 If you have seen some of my posts over time you won't be surprised I am posting some little goodies that I made for my Daughters youth group leaders. I love to make a small treat for them for most holidays to let them know I really appreciate all of the love and time they give to our kids.
   I used an Accucut die for these little cuties.I mixed up the cover colors with the bottoms as well as the bows to really give they a soft pastel Easter palette. The bow is cut using a My Favorite Things die, and the tiny bunny's are Amuse die's.  I die cut the bunny's in brown to make them look like chocolate.
    I hope you have a Blessed Easter with your family.

Diet Birthday Cake for Mom's 75th Birthday

    I saw the color challenge over at My Favorite Things blog  and thought of my Mom. She loves these bright  beautiful colors. The creating began and this is what I ended up with.
    I die cut the cake slice box's with Accucut die's  in 2 sizes from a pretty pearl card stock. I made the flower and the flourishes with MFT die's. I added a bit of glitter pen by Viva on the scrolls and numbers to add a bit of bling. I "diet" cake not calories in this cake only fun and lots of love.
     I pray I have many more Birthdays to celebrate with my Mom over the years!
    Thanks for stopping and checking out my "diet" Birthday cake.

Birds of A feather

     I love that Susan Opel has found a new place to land and share her talents over at My Favorite Things. I also love Challenges so here is my take on My Favorite things sketch challenge.
     I used a fun stamp from Raisin Boat Stamps called Perfect Partners.  I used water color paper and water color pencils to color the cute little birds. I went a little different with the black and white/off white theme.I used spellbinders dies to mat the birds. I used some color core paper and embossed it and sanded it to let the pretty design show through. To add a pop of color on the top and bottom and to go with the sketch. I added some delicate white lace and a skinny red dot washi tape. To finish it off I added a scalloped die cut heart and a metal love embellishment I had in my drawer waiting to be used.To be truer to the sketch I added the delicate leaves a My Favorite Things die that has been discontinued.
   I hope this gets you in the Valentine mood.Be sure to pop over to My Favorite Things sketch challenge to see all of the other wonderful cards the talented paper crafters have made for this challenge.
  Thanks for stopping.
