Get Well Wishes with Nurse Anya

I hope you all are having a Happy April Fool's Day.

I know, I know...I've been MIA for almost a whole month!  Well after the wedding favors and Valentine's day stuff I needed a break.  I didn't expect to be gone for so long.  Well, I have been stamping but didn't quite feel like blogging.  I've been lazy!  But over the next few days I have some stuff to show you.  In the meantime I have been making stuff for an upcoming craft fair.  I will give you all the details for the fair later (it's at the end of the month).

Anyhow, a friend of mine called me the other day and wanted to order a tea box with matching card for an aunt that's in the hospital.  She wanted Nurse Anya in pink and brown so here's what I came up with.  Hope you likey, likey!

I'll be back with more creations soon.  I have all my Gorjuss Girl and new Anya creations to show you.

Have an awesome day!

Wedding Bells

Happy Saturday everyone!  No time for a long post today because I'm off to a wedding.  I wanted to upload a few pictures before I left.  Here is the wedding card that I made for the happy couple.  I used the "Cake Topper" set from The Greeting Farm.  I just love this set...but then again, I love everything from The Greeting Farm, can't you tell!  Anyways, I paper pieced almost everything since I didn't feel like coloring.

Here's a close up shot so you can see the dimensions in her hair and flowers, oh and also on Ian's sleeve.

I also offered to make the wedding favors.  These are just simple pillow boxes with the centers die cut.  I added a velum window that was stamped with a little flourish from Papertrey's Boxes, Bags and Tags set.  For the sentiment I used a combination of the Boxes, Bags and Tags set along with Favor It Weddings, also from Papertrey.  Added a gold ring and tied with cocoa organza ribbon.  Just something simple since it was a last minute thing for me.

Here's a close up of the sentiment.  It reads: "Two Hearts One Love".

  

Well, I'm off!  Have a great evening!

Blog Award from Joy

Thank you Joy.....A Place to Be Me for this awesome award!  You are so sweet to always think of me.  I was supposed to pass this on to 5 people but since I took so long the people I wanted to give it to already have it.  Thanks again Joy...you rock!

Happy Girls Day!!!

Happy Girls Day to all of you out there in blog land!  Please excuse the lack of posts lately.  Both of my children celebrated their 12th and 14th birthdays and I was busy planning and crafting for the party.  And can you believe that I don't have any pictures of the things I made for the party!  I was so busy (since I started things so last minute) that taking pictures for this blog totally slipped my mind!  What an IDIOT!  Anyways, the party was fun and everyone loved their handmade grab bags.  Well, back to Girls Day.....yesterday it dawned on me that it was Girls Day already!  My gosh...where did the time  go?  I swear the days are just flying by too fast!  So anyways, I had to sit at my desk and brain storm on what I could make for the kids teachers and friends.  It's a good thing that I work better under pressure!  Well, with not much time on my hands I decided to do something similar to what I made for Girls Day last year (see last picture on this post)  Each milk carton is filled with a different treat.

Here is another version.  These milk cartons in a carrier were for the kids teachers.  I had honestly planned on putting Hello Kitty on it since Girls Day is a Japanese holiday but by two in the morning I was exhausted and was in no mood to make dozens of Hello Kittys!  Anyway, I think these beautiful designer papers are pretty enough to leave undecorated.  This picture shows the Japanese treats that were included in the milk cartons.

These single milk cartons are a little larger than the ones I put in the carriers.  These were for my daughters friends.  I surely wasn't about to make the milk cartons with carriers for all her friends since it would take me forever,  so I made these bigger so that I could fill it with more treats.

The kids brought them to school today and said that every one loved them.

These are the ones I made last year.  The Hello Kitty Cricut cartridge didn't exist at the time so I downloaded this image from the internet.

Have an awesome evening!

50's Sweethearts Mailboxes

Here are a few more mailboxes that I made for my niece to give to her teachers for Valentines Day.   For these, I used the new digital image from The Greeting Farm called 50's Sweethearts.  I just love this new image.  Don't they remind you of Danny and Sandy from Grease?  Too cute!!!!

Each mailbox had a bunch of wrapped Hershey's Nuggets (like the ones I had in my other mailbox post).  I used DP from Basic Grey's Bittersweet and Scarlett's Letter line.

Having Tea with Pretty Hat Anya

I wanted to do a non-traditional gift for a friend, co-worker or teacher for Valentine's Day.  A little something to say "I Love You" or "I appreciate You" without all the mushy stuff.  Some people might feel weird giving their co-workers something with hearts and the word "love" on it.  Anyhow, this is a tea packet dispenser that one can keep on her desk.  It's so cute and since it doesn't have the traditional Valentines Day theme, they could use it all year long and can be given for many other occasions.  I used the Pretty Hat Anya stamp and once again I made use of my Basic Grey paper.  This dispenser stands about 6" tall.

Here is an upclose view of her pearl necklace.  I used white pearlstuds from Kandi Corp.

Not sure if you remember but I made this box in an earlier post.  I just changed it up a bit to turn it into a dispenser.  You can see that post here.

Baby Booties

Hi everyone!  Sorry I have been MIA for a while.  I was sick like a dog and didn't get around to doing much of anything.  For those of you that are waiting for more Valentine's Day projects, I will be uploading more photos within the next couple days.  Anyways, while I was sick I had to work on these darling little baby bootie favors for a baby shower I will be going to on Sunday.  My friend is having a baby girl and that gave me a chance to use a lot of my Basic Grey papers.  I just love the soft vintage look these papers gave to the booties.  I filled each bootie with wrapped assorted Hershey Nuggets.

These were fun to make (I made 40 of em') but it was very time consuming, after seeing the end result, I guess it was well worth it! LOL!
