Paper DragonFleur

Next Tuesday, March 5th I will have a booth at the 2013 Bridal and Graduation Fair here in Port Alberni!

I am excited to show off  a few of my favorite Close To My Heart products and what you can make with them. Hopefully I will give a few brides the inspiration to make their own or have me make their invitations, decor, table centers, gift boxes and... the list could go on and on!

Using the For Always paper packet
and my Cricut Artiste I made this beautiful bracket frame!  Add a few sparkles, some Sparkle Flourishes and viola, a pretty way to remember that special day.  I have created it so that the Mr & Mrs. can be removed easily and replaced with your favorite photo. I look forward to seeing you at the Fair!

I was going to create this layout using the "Scholastic Papers" but while I was searching for it my horde collection of papers I came across my stash of "Typeset" (now retire…

My son and I made some cute little butterfly valentine's for his preschool class and he said "can we put it on the blog?!"  Seriously!  5 years old and he wants to blog...

He helped with pretty much every step of this little project.  From hitting the cut button on the cricut for the butterfly shapes to all the stamping.  I just kept switching out the butterfly's to make sure everyone got a few stamps on it.  We found the "crayon" bubbles for the bodies in the party section at Walmart and I did glue those on for him. I had asked him to print his name but he gave me the look of "Mom, that's way too much work!" so I got to use the pen!

Initially I had thought we might add some glitter or glue on some shapes but he informed me they were finished after the stamping... 




Happy Valentine's Day!

It was my son's 5th Birthday yesterday and I spent the last week or so making "Angry Birds" (to be said in a loud booming voice!)  I have to thank Pinterest for making it so easy to find a ton of ideas and the links to Free Angry Birds printables online! which cut out the need to create everything from scratch!

Using the free clip-art I was able to theme up my invitations, banners, balloons, games and take home treats!

 A few pictures from the Angry Birds extravaganza...






I think everything turned out really well and I am happy to say our son was feeling the Angry Bird love! We decorated the house before we went to bed and my favorite moment was first thing yesterday morning when our son got up and I counted down to my husband 3, 2, 1... and we heard our favorite little voice whisper "wow, angry birds". 

Yesterday was a great day and we were so blessed to have a house full of family and friends to celebrate with us! I did learn a few things...a) that we could f…
