When Life Gives You Lemons!

This Taste of Summer tag sums up how I've been feeling lately. My long absence will tell you that I have been extremely busy. With all of the challenges, tasks and decisions that have presented themselves to me lately, I remain positive......and make lemon bars!

I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches to make this colorfully sweet tag. I love the bright purple with green and pop of lemon yellow. With the Taste of Summer papers you can't help but be cheerful when your creating!

Taste of Summer paper collection and special stamp set are only available this month. You can order online here!

Thank you for visiting. Come back soon as I will reveal some of the projects that I've been working on!

Latte To Go!

I have shown you lots of ideas using the new Treats of Friendship stamp set from the Seasonal Expressions 2 book.

All the previous ideas I shared were cards. With a little Pinterest inspiration and a super cute card from Brenda Rose at Rose Blossom Legacies, I have created a 3D project. A great little gift idea for those coffee lover's in your life, especially those that are Keurig users!

This is a K-Cup Caddy, perfect for 2 of the Keurig cups. However, you can adhere 2 of the caddy's back to back and it becomes a holder for 4 cups! You can find the template here by Lori Tecler.

I was inspired by Brenda's card with her use of the Jackson papers and colors. It was so stunning and was perfect for this little project!

You can order this awesome stamp set now and you can still grab your Deal of the Day!! Order online here.

Happiness in a Muslin Bag

Earlier I posted a "Cherish" Base & Bling necklace in antiqued gold. A beautiful piece of jewelry and a lovely gift. I wanted to package this special bling in a nice way. The drawstring muslin bags make a perfect tote for these little lovelies! They can be stamped on and personalized any way you want!

I used the Country Born stamp set for the front of this bag. I rolled the barn stamp in three colors before stamping; Indian Corn Blue, Barn Red and New England Ivy. The sentiment was stamped in Cocoa. I find that darker, richer colors work best. You will also find it helpful to insert a piece of cardstock inside the bag before stamping. This makes it stiffer and will stop the ink from bleeding to the back of the bag. A simple stamped tag and twine are added at the top.
