Baby Girl Shaker Card

I cannot tell you how happy I am with how this card turned out!  My sister needed a card for a friends baby shower.  The coworkers were throwing her a 'sprinkle' at work.  My first thought was a shaker card.  It did not turn out as 'sprinkly' as I imagined but I love love love it!

I got the digital stamp from May Brit's Hobbyblogg.  I wanted to find a super cute baby girl stamp and I could not pass this one up!  I colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and added stickles to her little blanket to sparkle it up a bit.

I used George and Basics to create the frame and embossed it with Swiss Dots.  The background red is embossed with D'vine Swirl and finally the ribbon is from Celebrate It!

Valentine's Day Treats

Apparently I took quite the vacation from blogging!  I did not anticipate to be so busy over the holidays and beyond.  BUT I decided to make it a priority to get some Valentine's Day treats made for the kiddos teachers.  I found these adorable Ghiradelli Treat holders on Kerry's Paper Crafts Blog and fell in love!  She has an awesome tutorial as well.  Here is how I made them:

These were super easy to make!  I used paper from K&Company (I just love their double sided stacks).  I also made my very first digital stamp!  The Valentine's Day stamp on the front is my very own!  I sized it to 1.5", used the Recollections circle punch and matted it on the 1 3/4" scallop punch from Stampin Up.  I used my foam dots to pop it from the front.  I finished it by rounding the edges.  I'll also have the kids write a little Valentine's note on the inside (or at least have them sign their name). 

I am entering these treat holders in My Craft Spot's Monday Challenge #43 - Valentine's Day and Paper Sundaes Challenge #106 - Clean and Simple.

Thanks and happy Monday!
