Love Cookies

I wanted to make some cute cookies for my Women's Ministry team.  When I was at Cotstco I found these short bread cookies and was ready for the project.  I knew I wanted them simple, but cute.  So I embossed hearts onto the top strip.  Then I used the love stamp and punched it out and I was done.  So smiple!!!

Love and Sympathy

Last week my aunt passed away and I wanted to send something to my cousins.  It is never easy to say goodbye but I was honored to be there for the family at the end.  This card was in honor of how much my aunt lived for art and never forgot to tell me I needed to make a business out of my type of art.  I love you Aunt Tam!

Summer Lesson Planner


I am starting to work on a summer preparation class for next years Kindergarteners. I wanted to make the book sturdy like my planners in the past so I came up with this simple design. On the inside it is just a simple weekly chart. I bind it on the left hand side so I can have the book open on my desk to the full week or fold it over on my lap to look at just the morning or afternoon.

Bee Thankful

You too can bee thankful today!  Here is the last Bee post, I hope you are not sick of bee's yet.  I had to design something that was cute and easy for Cyndee to send out.  We also wanted something that people would want to save so this is what I came up with.  I hope you like it!

Bee Gift

Bee Coloring Page

I wanted a coloring page for the adults to play with.  Cyndee wanted to make a book for Kenzie.  As soon as she talked about a coloring table I wanted something that looked like the invite!  When I was done I knew this was perfect!  I cant wait to see what people do with it!!!  

Bee Flowers

I love the spring feel of these flowers!  They make me want to go outside and play!  We will put a few of these in vases around the party for decorations.  They are all a little different but that is what makes them fun. (Just a note, when I cut out the Rosette I had to cut them into 1 1/2 strips in order to make a complete rosette.  If you do not cut them they will not bend into a flower ;(

Bee Banner

Here is the first banner.  The second is a surprise for party day ;)  We wanted something to tie the favors to the flowers and invite so this is what I came up with.  I am not sure if you can tell but the pennants are embossed with the honeycomb folder too ;)  The best part is the banner was such a hit that she used the banner in her 1 year pictures!!!!  It was so cute!

Bee Favor

 Do I love this favor?  Yes I do!!!  I was so excited that Stampin' Up! came up with this Honeycomb folder when I was actually working on a project.  This never happens!!!  I usually finish a project and then a wonderful item comes out in a catalog.  Not this time it carried through the whole party!  We wanted to put Bit O Honey's inside but we could not find them so we used caramels instead.

Bee MDS Invite

I don't play with my MDS much but when I do I remember how much I love using it!  I looked on line at all types of bee invites.  Then I started to play!  We wanted something that would match her outfit so when I came up with this layout we were so excited!  It does not hurt to have a cute baby as your model ;)  Tomorrow I will talk about the Favor but I needed to cover up the address.

Love Window

I have to start by saying there were so many cute cards, but I did not know who designed most. You can visit Andrea and Nicole's blog at teehee4two.blogspot.com to see more great ideas! Today's card was made by Nicole. She is one of my super crafty friends and happens to be Andrea's sister. I just loved how simple this card was. Inside the o window is a silver heart. I loved it. If you have the peek-a-boo die they could all be made windows with valentine surprises inside :)

Be Mine Too

This was my FAVORITE of my three cards.  It took me a while to figure out how to balance the hearts on the page.  I put one at the bottom in the pattern but it looked a little funny with the scallop so I left it off.  I just liked the hearts inside of the honeycomb.  My next card I think I might have just hearts in different colors without the scallop in the corner.

This is card #2 for my craft night with the ladies.  Oh how I love this honeycomb print. I wanted to do something a little bright and fun, but when I started on this card I liked the simple look to it!  As much as I liked this card I still wanted to make a funky one so tomorrow I will post the funky fun heart card :)

Rosette Boxes

I know Christmas is over but after looking at pictures of some of my Christmas boxes I thought these would be cute for Valentines Day too!  I had so much fun making all of my "bows" this year, so I thought I would share ;)
