And now for my project:
With Mother's Day just around the corner
I made this lovely card for my mother-in-law
The roses are a  file from the Silhouette Store
I used Design ID #66298

I created an offset and resized it almost to the size of the

original cut.  I cut both pieces out of white paper.

I watercolored the offset using Tim Holtz Distress Inks

in Pickled Raspberry and Mowed Lawn.

 I used my Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Markers

to color in the top layer.

The card base is from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon 

The Just for Mom stamp set had just the right

pieces to build my sentiment.

I also added a few of the large pink sequins

from the Dream Catcher Mix.

 

 Just for Mom

This is what my place setting will look like.

I might still make some place cards or

treat bags to add to the place setting.

My napkin rings were made from
recycled toilet paper rolls!!

Hello and Happy Halloween!!

my co-workers.

 I used 2 files from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons

to create my treat bags.  The topper is from

the Handled Treat Topper file and the cute

ghosts are from the Monster Mash file.  

I stamped the cute little faces with

the Peachy Keen Sweet and Innocent

The label is from the Silhouette Store

and the sentiment is from Crafty Sprouts.

Hope all your little ghosts and

Happy Halloween!!

If you follow my blog, a few weeks ago

I shared some invites I made for

my nephew's Oktoberfest

birthday party.  You can see them HERE

I created a few decorations for the party as well

 

 

 

I have to admit, I totally scraplifted this

idea from Barb at BugBites, you

can see her original here,

Her's has a lot more detail,

mine was a last minute decoration, I

made it the day before the party when I saw

Barb's sign!!  The adorable boy and girl

are from the SVG Cutting Files

Oktoberfest Cutting Files,

the leaves were from the Silhouette Store.

 

Next I made a banner to hang over

the Beer Garden!!

 

The banner pieces are from the Silhouette Store

and the Beer Mugs are from

Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Oktoberfest Files

 

My final item is a vase I decorated

for the food table.

And finally I want to share picture of

my nephew!!  He even dressed up

in Lederhosen for his party!!

 

 The party was great fun, lots

of food, fun, music and beer!!

 

Hope you will join us
