Definitely Daffodil

When I was out shopping for my son's trip, which he leaves Friday for, I couldn't help but think.. 

I can make a daffodil

... Just one...simple and yet ....enough. I was distracted with my  thoughts I am sure that there are items I will need to pick up tonight to make up for my absent minded... but honestly, .... 

They turned out pretty good! 

I then googled to see what others did in comparison, Jackie Topa is the closest to what I did, and she is just fabulous! Great minds!  


I used the Lucky Limeade as my greens and card base, layered Bashful Blue & Whisper White. Pierced along the top in threes, added pearls on the Bashful Blue Satin Ribbon, and stamped Happy Easter just above. 

The inside sentiment reads:

Easter flowers and parades

a bunny hopping by,

jelly beans and chocolate eggs

a basket piled high. 

May you have a happy spring 

and blue skies up above,

may your Easter overflow

with family, friends and love.

Have a great day!

Chocolate Kisses

Who doesn't love Chocolate? 

I am a fan!  A big fan.

If you are a follower, you may remember, I did a Chocolate Covered February last year for 14 days. I got the idea from Hershey, who does Chocolate Covered February for an entire month.

May this is why I love Chocolate so much??? Who knows.. but I contain myself. I do sometimes have to stop the BLT (bite, lick, taste) of all the chocolate I see, but the temptation!!! OH MAN!!

Nonetheless, I have put together a little chocolate card - that is 'heading' places with some chocolate.. homemade candies actually, but they have chocolate on them, so I am certain they will be a hit!

The light really does stink, my apologizes. I wanted to get the boxes out, for enjoyment, so I am sorry I didn't take more time with the photos. 

The colors are Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette and Crumb Cake. I used some of the glitter paper leftover from Christmas, which fits perfect for something like this. I used the Decorative label punch, and the Blossoms Petal builder punch. I added some bling on the label, it went too well along with the glitter paper.

Concept of Kisses was byLaura Lipe at Smiles, Laura. This is where I got the concept from... I just covered them with "wrapper". Thank you Laura!

April Showers bring May Flowers

Its been a really rainy start to May, so I am not sure how the flowers will really "bloom" but with the Build a Blossom punch, you can have flowers bloom all year long! It took me a while before I knew I HAD TO HAVE this punch... you know, I am the one that looks and looks and then figures out all the angles I can use this punch for -  besides its recommended use... though I am still working on that angle, I will say, it got my attention and made it to the order list NOT TOO LONG AGO!.

Here is todays card:

I used the Island Floral Big Shot die for the center flower (in Daffodil with the Chocolate button attached) and the two pieces behind the punched flowers.

 It been a busy few weeks, for me at my FT job. We were audited, which means work ahead of time and then during and of course after. So my craft room was cleaned up and nearly had nothing hanging out for me to show.. but I did manage some cards, like this, for mothers days inspiration.

If I do not get the chance to wish the mothers out there a HAPPY GLORIOUS DAY, on Sunday, at least I can feel like I made cards that expressed such a sentiment!
