Happy Mothers Day to all the great Mom's out there! Hope your day is very relaxing :)

 

 

 

This card went to my MIL for Mothers Day. Totally inspired by by Jacquline's beautiful Inchie art.

 Made with Hero Arts Antique Background CG120, CL342 everyday sayings  & pattern paper

 

 I am off to see my mom for lunch today (super excited)! 

 

Thanks for stopping by and remember Mom's rule!!

 

Vintage Kitchen & some Fiesta treats!

 

Hope all is going well. Wanted to share a little vintage card I made awhile back.  Made with pattern paper from October Afternoon and Graphic 45. I love this old kitchen motif and this super cute pink mixer in the background!

this is the inside of the card! The grid design is stamped using Hero Arts S5416 Grid background stamp. (The center of the grid design was masked off with a post it note)
Also wanted to share an old 1960's vintage Betty Crocker Party book. There are so many great images and text in this book. Perfect for fun party ideas & maybe crafting too! This was my Mom's book and she gave it to me a few years back, its proudly displayed in my china cabinet :)

 

 such fun!! 

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo

 this week at work. These festive cupcakes above were made by  Britney. There are just so many great details on these Sombrero cupcakes. Totally love them and they were super yummy too!!  My sweet tooth was very  happy :)

 

 

It was fun to make this piñata cake and I like the fact you can add anything to the inside cookies, chocolate bars ect).  Its 2 cakes that are hollow in the middle and  filled with M&M's!
the little "piñata cake" Flag made with Hero Arts cl141 Fanciful swirls and airbrushed with copic markers.

 I got the idea from Pintrest and Clair's great website. . Please see Clair's blog found here for step by step instructions and her beautiful cake.

Hope you are having a great week!

Easter Peep card

 

With Easter just abound the corner I have been trying to create a few cards for family and friends.  This little Peep was cut at 4" using  white card stock and the  Simply Charmed  Cricut cartridge.

I was in at Tim Hortons (our local donut shop) and saw these Easter Egg donuts.  I did get one to try and it was like a Boston Cream Donut.  So good in fact I cant stop thinking about them and have been resisting going back and getting a 12 pack of these sweet eggs!
