Happy Easter and little Easter Treat Baskets!

Hello, hope you all are having a wonderful Easter. I thought I would do a quick post sharing some little Easter Treat Baskets that I made. I made the Brown one for my daughter. Used Kraft Cardstock. Rubbed Close to Cocoa Ink on the Square Lattice Embossing Folder from Stampin Up and ran the Cardstock through the Cuttlebug. Sponged the edges. Used two Brown Brads to hold the handles.

                                                                               

                                   
                                                                   
                                                                             

Made a Blue one for my Grandson. Used Bashful Blue Ink with Bashful Blue Cardstock and Blue Brads.
The Pink one I made for my Grand Daughter. Used Almost Amethyst Ink on it and used White Brads.
They thought they were really cute and they are pretty simple to make. I just added some Hershey Kisses.  I think these would be so Cute to have on the table for Easter Dinner to give to everyone.

Easter Cards and Winner!!!

Hi and welcome to my Blog. Wanted to Share some pictures of the Easter Cards that I made for my two little Grand Children. They are Simple, nothing Fancy. I didn't even use my Cricut Machine. For my Grand Daughters Card. I just Sponged the Sky and Grass. Stamped the cute little Silhouette of a Girl. Punched out three Flowers and added Pearls. The pink Cardstock I did stamp with a Stampin Up Stamp Set. I can't remember what it's called now.



                                                                             

For my Grandsons Card, The Bunnies Face was made with my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter. Ears made with Large and Small Oval Punches from Stampin Up. Nose made with a tiny Heart Punch,Hand drew the mouth. Added Hemp Twine for the Whiskers. Added some googly eyes. I seriously think I made these two Cards in record time. They were that Simple. Simple is a good thing. Right!!!

Spring is one of my favorite time's of the year. Everything is so fresh and new. So I was trying to figure out what to make. A lot of Idea's ran through my mind. But I decided that I would (attempt) to try to make something out of my new Obsession, I mean Hobby. Which is Crocheting. I have only been Crocheting for a few months now and I Love It !!! I have wanted to learn how for Years and Years,So now I can check it off my Bucket List.  I still have a lot to learn but it's really Fun.

I had made my Daughter a Phone Holder and she Loved It, So I thought I would attempt to make an Owl one. I think it turned out really Cute and I had so much fun making It. Thought the colors of yarn that I used were perfect for Spring. I will be making me one In Fall colors to.

Sharing a Few Pictures of what I've been up to!

Hi, So glad you could come visit me. My Grand Daughter Scarlett had her 6th Birthday Party this past Sunday. So I thought I would share a picture with you of her opening up her Hat and Scarf that I made for her. She Loves it. I made the scarf just the right size for her. It's been really cold here, so she has been wearing them to school every day.

I also want to Share some little Cupcake Treat Boxes that I made for the party. We used them to hold the Balloon weights. I cut them from the Sweet Treats Cartridge.

Handmade things for Scarlett!

Hi all, Wow, It feels like I haven't posted in a long time. I have been making some things for my little Grand Daughter Scarlett. It's her Birthday today. She's 6 years old. Since her Birthday falls on a Thursday, she will be having her party this Sunday which is my Birthday. I will be turning the big 5-0.  So it will be fun to have our Birthdays together. On my last post I shared a picture of the Hat that I made her on the Round Knitting Loom. I now want to share a few more things that I have made.
The First thing is a matching Scarf. Wasn't for sure how long to make it. So I am hoping that it will be just right. I had watched a few Video's on making scarves on youtube and they said to use a Crochet hook to help pull the fringe through. I didn't have one. So I used my tweezers. They worked great!

Also wanted to share with you a Plain wooden picture frame that I decorated. I added two strands of ribbon to hold her Hair Bows. Her bedroom is decorated in butterflies, So that's what I decided to put on the front.
The pink Butterfly is from the Once upon a Princess Cartridge. The Blue and Purple Butterflies are from the Every day paper Dolls Cartridge. I cut her name from the Gypsy Font Cartridge. I added a gem to each Butterfly. Had to have a little bling.
I thought I would add a few flowers to. The Purple Flower was cut from the Flower Shoppe Cartridge and the two Blue Flowers were cut from the Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge. I cut little Vs on the end of each petal to look more like the blue flowers in the paper that I used. ( I love that paper,but can't remember where I got it)!  The leaves were made using a die from Stampin Up. I used Close to Cocoa Ink to Ink around the edges and used the S.U. Sanded Background Stamp on the name,butterflies and leaves. The ribbon was from Michael's and I made the ribbon hang down 24 inches and glued it to the back of the frame with my Glue Gun.  (Sorry that I didn't get a good picture of the ribbon. I didn't have a good place to hang it up.)  Going to add a picture to the frame just not sure which one yet.
I think she will really like her things that I made for her. I will try to post a few pictures from her party and will post a picture of her Card that I'm making for her.
 Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! :0)

 HAPPY 6th Birthday Scarlett River!!!
                                                                          

First Hat made with Round Knitting Loom!

Hi and Happy New Year! I have always wanted to learn how to knit. But seriously, Just looks to hard to me. So on Black Friday I purchased a Set of Round Looms at Wal-Mart. For the passed few days I have been working on making a hat for my little Grand Daughters 6th Birthday coming up in a few weeks. I got it finished last night and Thought I'd share a few pictures. I am not real happy with how it turned out. There is several flaws. Mostly in the Brim of the hat.  But for my first time I thought it was O.K. I have now started watching some Video's on you tube and now know a few more things that I didn't when I started. So not sure if I will be giving this one to my Grand Daughter or not. This one may be called my practice one. Anyway thought I would still share the pictures. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a Safe,Happy and Crafty Day!  Cindy
