A Very Special Birthday

Today is a very special day... It's Grandpa T's 94th birthday!!! 

We made him a fabulous bday card... one worthy of 94 years!!

                                        

We folded a poster board in half & made a birthday cake on the cameo! I used my cricut & CCR to cut out a 12x12 paper & used my gel pens to write ' 94 is definitely worth celebrating!! ' 

- I forgot to take a picture :( 

We went for dinner and brought him a little treat.... Chocolate is his favorite :) 

Purdy's dark chocolate...Mmmmm ;)

Box - Jaded Blossom

Twine - Grape Fizz - Trendy Twine

Tag -Joyful tags - PBD

                                           

 Here is Grandpa & my F-I-L

I am truly blessed to have married into such a loving set of Grandparents - they love me just like my own!!

Till next time,

Halloween treats

My second post of the day... Yes it is :)

I wanted to get these uploaded so I could share some inspiration for Halloween that is coming in just over a month!

Here are my little treat bags

 The little ghost is from Create A Critter 2
There was a few images available to cut free for a week on CCR, I took advantage & get the cute guys ready for my bags!

Happy Halloween was heat embossed with a stamp from the $1.50 bin at Michaels from last year

The twine is all from Trendy Twine - 3 of the new colors, all part of the 'licorice' line

Lime licorice

Grape licorice

Grey licorice

The chevron print bags I bought from Pick your Plum 

I was able to fit 3 Halloween sized treats in each bag!

Till next time,

Christmas Tags

This weekend I thought I should get a jump on some Christmas crafting. I had told my step mom at Christmas last year that I would make her some tags for gifts. Both of my sisters & I made our own & they were a big hit, everyone loved them.

I decided to pull out my stamps & get to work. I cut the tags from TBBM in the CCR to get many tags out of a 12 x 12 sheet of paper. I cut the first ones & then made smaller tags too. Here they are...

I used some stamps from the cheap bin @ Michael's

Pink By Design - Goodie label die & Goodie labelstamps, Christmas wishes 

Pick Your Plum - summer twine

Trendy Twine - Candy Cane twine

Cuttle bug - snaowflakes folder

Martha Stewart Glitter glue

I ended up making almost 70 tags in total. I will be giving some to my step mom & will put some in the mail to send to my M-I-L... I'm sure she'll love to get some happy mail :)

Then of course I will keep a few for myself to use!

Till next time, J
