Treats for a sweetie

Okay, so I actually at the chocolate myself (shhhhh) but I had this Starbucks bottle made up in the process.  Another easy peasy project.
The belly band is Pacific Point card stock.  I used the Stampin’ Write® Markers to color the fruit from Tart & Tangy and punch it out with the 1 3/8 inch Circle [...]

Movin’ and Groovin’ “Just Moved” Card

This card may look harmless, but it’s really a super duper card with magical powers.
The card base is your ordinary Chocolate Chip and the Neighborhood wheel is stamped on Baja Breeze.  The scalloped “grass” is Kiwi Kiss punched with the scallop edge punch.  The colored house was stamped in Staz-on Timber Brown on Whisper White [...]

Angels for Mallory

So, a couple of days ago, Mal left me a comment saying her sorority is going to be making angels for the University of Michigan Children’s Hospital, and asked if I had any ideas.  Well, this one’s for you, Mal! 

I thought quick and easy would be good.  So, I pulled down my punches [...]

Heartfelt Thanks with a Lilac Candle

I’m not sure about you, but I’m a scented candle fan.  Although I am a little picky about which scents I buy.  One of my absolute favorites is Lilac, so when I saw these candles on clearance for a quarter, I just couldn’t leave it on the shelf.  While it was riding around in my [...]
