I DO

Just a quickie post to let you know about a tutorial I have up over at THE HYBRID CHICK. If you have a wedding or engagement shower to plan you will definitely want to check it out. We have two whole weeks of fun projects for the bride-to-be!
This is a simple project that when made small can be used as a favor or made in a larger size for a table decoration.  I even think it would be cool to make a garland out of the diamond ring as a room dec!

Thanks so much for stoppin' by!

IT'S RAINING BABIES

Ok, so it's not really raining babies, although I might prefer them to all the wet stuff we have had lately.  We are having two weeks of baby shower ideas over at THE HYBRID CHICK.  If you are planning a shower check it out for some fun ideas. I created a  baby rattle favor/ door prize picker.  I'm a major multi-tasker so I always like creating dual purpose projects.
I have a tutorial up over at THE HYBRID CHICK if you would like to see how it was made.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, have a wonderful, dry, week!

AN ACE OF AN INSPIRATION

Many many moons ago, I suggested using Charm City Cakes for a Splitcoast Stampers challenge. I had totally forgotten about it until Stephanie emailed, said she was considering it for the next challenge, and asked if I could make a card. Of course I said yeppers! I love watching the Ace of Cakes on Food Network.  Duff is adorable,  their cakes are amazing, and it looks like so much fun to work at the shop. Unfortunately, I hear the show has been cancelled, it figures!
I used THIS cake as inspiration for a shabby little bird themed card.  This is card is extra special because I made it not only for the challenge but  for the birthday of my mom who will be 90 years old in May.  She is like the Energizer bunny and I can only hope that I am half as with it at her age.

Hope your having a wonderful weekend.  GO PENS!!!!

The papers are from Bo Bunny and Prima, bird stamp is from My Time Made Easy, the bird cage is an SVG from Whimsidoodle stamps, and the flourish is from Tim Holtz.  The little flowers were made from a Punch Bunch flower punch.
The scalloped circle for the base of the card was made with Doilie Shapes Set 1 from The Digi Chick
