Flower butter plate

Here's a fun little idea for you to try.

I took out a cube of butter and using a small 

knife and dinner plate spread small "leaves" of

butter around the plate for the outer layer of the flower.

Keep going til you create a full sunflower.

I added some blueberries to the center and sprinkled

the butter with sea salt. 

It was a hit!

Give it a try! 

Happily ever after

It's wedding season!

Out come the florals and beautiful sayings to send!

This paper is from last year's catalog.

but it doesn't mean you can't make this card with

floral paper you have on hand. 

I free cut out the scallop overlay with scissors

and adhered it over the floral paper. 

Add the oval mauve cardstock and some ribbon. 

Ready to wish someone a happily ever after! 

Happy Mother's day!

Happy Mother's day!

These two cuties made me a Mom and I 

am blessed by them immensely!

Hoping you are celebrating with those you love today

and feeling extra special and appreciated!

Were you able to take in the Aurora Borealis last night?

It was spectacular!

This was right in our backyard and neighborhood!

Bucket list completed!

The colors came through much brighter on my phone,

from what I understand the new camera's are able to pick up light better than the naked eye.  Use your video also to get the

brighest colors.   What a treat this was!

Navy and white

I've been loving all the navy and white trends for months now,

I love the clean fresh look so I took it to paper. 

You can use any of your stamp sets to create this effect.

I used Night of Navy and white cardstock.

What ever stamp set you use stamp the image all over the white cardstock to cover it.  That's it!

So easy to do, then add the greeting. 

Dressed in White

Here's the cute bride and groom to be!

I was in Bath and Body Works with my Auntie and sister

the other day and they have this new 3 wick candle called

'"dressed in white".   We took one smell of the candle

and we were all hooked! 

It's gorgeous!

and truly the smell is amazing, light and floral.

We all bought one as well as one for the bride to be.

Right now they are on sale for $12.95! 

Go grab a few! 

so pretty all lit up too! 

Limewash pillars

Happy monday!

Now that the shower is over we are on to wedding details.

Here's a diy that we are getting started on.

Shae's new FIL to be made these wooden pillars

for her reception and wedding to put floral arrangements on.

They are about 36" high, she primed them all and

brought them to me to limewash.

Limewash is a special paint that dries very quickly,

it's easy to cover a large area quickly. 

This is the paint brand I used, Atelier,

it comes in a variety of colors and can be found on Amazon.

You can use a block brush to apply it to your wall or project

by trying it by brushing back and forth or even in circular motion

which is the method I used.  I also used a smaller square brush as I am painting pillars not a wall. 

These were really fun to do and quite creative.

It maybe took me 30 minutes to paint all five pillars. 

One coat covers nicely, but two coats really adds

the full effect of limewashing. 

Didn't they turn out awesome!

You will have to stay tuned for next month when we put them

into action at the wedding! 

Brie wedding cheese cakes

Happy saturday!

Check out these brie cheese rounds cakes.

I saw these on pinterest and wanted to try a hand at one for

my daughter's shower.  

Mine in no way turned out like these, 

but I tried! 

I used two different sizes of brie cheese rounds

and the top round is a boursin round.

I cut the rounds in half and added some

strawberry jam to the center. 

I added some fresh flowers and

some on top of the cake and

added crackers around the base of the cake.

Mine is quite simple, fun to try and delish to eat!
