Lace name tags

We are getting ready for a baby shower and making all things vintage.

Here's just a little sampling of the lace name tags I've been working on

for my daughter Shae's baby!

All I have done is used the die cutting machine to cut out 

oval shapes. I purchased some lace that I attached around the

oval shape with adhesive then used a glue gun to attach

the second oval to the back of the tag to complete it. 

They are so sweet, we are going to be putting them on top of

the plates for the shower. 

I will share more of the shower early this week since it is this

coming saturday.  Much more fun ideas to share with you!

My girlfriend Alison took to her pen and created the gorgeous

penmanship on these tags.  I love how they turned out. 

Stay tuned for more! 

Aspens of Gratitude

This month's paper pumpkin

Aspens of Gratitude.

This was one where I truly did not like the design and decided to

go rouge and just make it as simple as possible. 

I felt like these cards look more like sympathy cards so I just

added the greeting and some gold glitter to the trees.

It's hard to see the glitter but it turned out nice and serene. 

Sometimes you have to just shake it up a bit! 

Fall hostess gifts

Let's make some fall hostess gifts.

I found these fall dish towels and paper napkins at 

Marshalls.  I brought them home and literally just

folded the towel over and added the napkins on top,

added some sage ribbon and there you have it!

I cut out a couple of paper leaves and added the for you tag

and adhered it to the front of the napkins. 

so pretty and very fallish! 

Woodland Meadows- Andy & Karine

with lots of luscious trees and forest vibes. 

All the preparations and small details before the wedding. 

Beautiful Karine.....

Father and bride

Sweet moment, Father walking the bride down the aisle. 

What and honor and priveledge to get to coordinate this wedding

and work with this couple.

Halloween treat holders

let's make some cute halloween treat holders using halloween napkins

and some empty toilet paper holders.

I picked up some little Mott's fruit snacks and some candy to stuff them with. 

If you're anything like me than you have oddles of napkins in your

napkin stash from different holidays.  I have random ones left so this

is a great diy to get rid of onesie, twosies hanging around.  

You could also do this for Christmas treat too. 

Aren't they cute?  easy-peasy too, just cut the napkin pieces

in a 10 x 6" size and roll around the toilet roll and attach

with some scotch tape. 

Fill each roll with your treats and tie off the ends with ribbon,

twine or whatever you have on hand. 

If you make some send me your picks! 

I'd love to see how yours turn out!

Have fun creating!

Halloween treat bags

Let's put together some cute halloween treat bags for your girlfriends!

I picked up the cutie ghost chip bag holders, little halloween zip lock plastic bags

from Marshall's, the napkins Dollar Tree and candy from See's and Stella eye masks from 

Costco. It was fun to find all these different pieces to put together to gift. 

Everything fit in the ziploc baggie, I layered the napkins on top

 and added some twine. 

spooky and cute all at once!

I also found some pumpkin napkins too.

either give it a spooky vibe. 

Ghost Suckers

Happy saturday!

Here's an oldie but such a goodie!

These adorable ghost suckers.

If you like to do a little diy with your littles or want a fun little

treat for the youngsters this one is it.

It's so easy to make, get yourself some blowpop suckers.  I got mine at the Dollar Tree.

grab some kleenex and twine.  Layer the kleenex three times on top of each other,

going different ways each later.

Pick it up and lay it over the top of the sucker and tie your twine

around it into a bow.  Feel free to use ribbon too.  Anything

to make it look festive. 

Using a black sharpie, draw some little eyes on your ghosties!

Aren't they "spooktacular?"
