Perfectly paired...

It's was a perfectly pair weekend!

I pulled out this gorgeous paper and decided to try and use it as

I have been with many other designer papers lately.

The patchwork/guilting technique. 

I cut my card a regular sized A2 then used cut strips of the paper

at 1 1/2" each.  Take your adhesive and add pieces, they will hang

over the base of the card.  Just cut away the excess when you have the

card filled.  It's like a little puzzle and a great way for you to use

up your pieces of small amounts of paper.  

You can also cut your strips smaller if you like. 

This paper gives me Hawaiian vibes....

I used the aqua painter to color in the pear with coordinating ink tones.

Have you tried this technique yet?

If so,  send me off your pics!

Easter table setting

Better late than never right?

Sharing my Easter table setting for Easter. 

These napkins are so sweet.....

You can't tell in the photo, but these napkins are a sweet subtle

sage green color. 

I found these adorable plastic chocolate bunnies at Hobby Lobby.

They open up so you can fill them with treats. 

I tend to lean into using what I have on hand,

so out came the dried hydrangas I had on hand.

That cutie antique vase I found at Target. 

The wood Easter tomb I found at Walmart. 

Pretty simple table this year.

We had a wonderful day celebrating Easter with family and 

friends.

I made these deviled eggs and saw online how to cut the

little bunny egg. 

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Hoping today finds you walking in freedom, joy, and the authority of the risen Christ today and everyday knowing that His life in you in is greater than anything that comes against you. 

How cute are these bunny cupcakes?

To get started I found this package of Lindt candies at Costco for $9.97

their are 51 pieces in the package which is a lot of candy! 

Start by making some chocolate cupcakes, let them

cool. You can buy or make your own chocolate

frosting.  Once cooled, frost and set aside. 

Get some graham cracker crumbs, put them in a ziploc bag

and add green food coloring.  Shake the bag around

to cover the crumbs til you get the desired color of green

you'd like. 

You want to get the color of moss the best you can.

Once achieved, roll the top of your frosted cupcakes into the 

crumbs to coat.

Unwrap your chocolate bunnies and insert a toothpick through the

bottom, push into the top of the cupcake. 

You'll find these are very easy to make.

Now,  I hope they taste good!

You can't go wrong with chocolate cupcakes......

and these are so whimsical and fun! 

Happy Easter! 

Easter happenings

Happy good friday friends~

I made this crown of thorns for Easter. turned out pretty cool.

Good friday is our reminder that when everything feels lost, when darkness

seems to take over, there is HOPE on the way! 

These cherry blossoms are just beautiful. You can walk all around the Washington Arboretum and they are in full bloom.  Great place to take the family for Easter if you want to walk or do an Easter egg hunt.  I you haven't been it's a must!

A look at one of my table settings this season.

Do you like to host for Easter?

Dollar Tree bunny cups

Happy sunday!

Head on over to Dollar Tree to grab some of these cutie cups and pink napkins.

You can also find candies there, but I just grabbed some from Target. 

Start by unfolding your napkin to a square.

In the center lay some of the candies you have.

It doesn't require a lot.

Angle like a diamond shape and fold in half then keep folding up

till you get it to this point below. 

Now fold it right in half to create the bunny head with ears,

adhere it by using a piece of ribbon to tie a bow. 

Fold in half like this and tie a ribbon around it into a bow. 

Add the cute little white pom pom for the bunny bum.

Add it to your cup and there you have it!

You can add these to your Easter table or just gift them to your family/friends, etc. 

Fluttering garden

Here they all are in their glory!

The last card revealed from the Fluttering Garden kit.

I love the simplicity of this one.

Large but stately.

I also added glitter to the wings of this hummingbird too. 

Which was your favorite?
