Welcome Little One!!! 2S4Y

My sister had a new little baby boy on Wednesday! So of course I needed to make a cute baby card! She didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl until he arrived so I whipped this card up and can’t wait to see the little man on Saturday!!! Although I’ve been informed that he needs bilirubin lights and I might not get to hold him =(. I was so hoping to snuggle and hog him since his cousin that was supposed to arrive next week is no longer coming.

I had already bought the cutest boy outfit for him (I just knew he was a boy) and when I made the card I realized that it matches his orange and blue striped outfit perfect!  

Kid Decor

I must say that I am usually the most boring mom when it comes to holiday decorations for my kids (except Christmas) It seems I always forget to get them out until just before Valentines or Easter and by then I think why bother. So this year I decide that I would make something with paper and laminate it. Plus I had just received my new Expression for my birthday and needed a reason to use it right? Now I could make cute holiday things that were BIG. I made a bunny representing each kid and put them on their bedroom doors and one for the hallway. Then I punched holes in the huge eggs and strung it along the banister (the ribbon isn't my fave, but I was trying to use what I had) WOW the kids were so excited!!! It was like Christmas to them, I am really going to try and be better at doing things like this in the future, and now you can help me be accountable.

Bunny Boxes AGAIN

Well it's been over 3 weeks since I last posted!!! I wish I could say a lot has happened....I guess it has but not a TON worthwhile to post.

Last night I had about 9 ladies over to make the little bunny boxes and it went GREAT!!! I found the perfect paper that was both boyish and girly for the boxes by Basic Grey, the ribbon is American Craft, I love their ribbon!!!!!

By some of the comments last night you would have thought I had invented the wheel or something over a little triangle box with a bunny head, truly I do not deserve that much credit. I just borrow some one's idea and tweak it is all! It was a really fun night and it's nice not to have all those piles of supplies taking up my craft space anymore that is for sure. Today I started a new project, with all that new found space I discovered, and I hope to post it soon :)

RIBBON, BUTTONS, FELT what no paper?

If you'll look over to your right....(okay I guess up and to your right) you'll see what I've been playing with the past few days. Ribbons, felt, buttons...finally opening my Etsy shop "buttonsbowsandmore". That explains the lack of blogging or paper playing. I hope to make some cards or do a LO tomorrow, but we'll see what happens, my little guy is less content to play by himself these days so who knows what will happen.

On a fun note I got invited to go see Rascal Flatts on Thursday night in VIP seats!!!!!! WAHOO who can pass up that deal and the best part....FREE okay and that and it's with a good friend doesn't hurt either. I'm excited, I haven't been to a concert in YEARS so it should be pretty fun.
