I was looking for a quick and easy Gift bag to make for a friend and I found this little Matchbox gift bag  template on Paper Crafts web-site . It was so quick and easy ! You can find it here Paper Crafts . The bag is made with MME Stella Rose paper and the pretty label on the front is from  here Bety's Etsy shop I added a cute little heart punch at the top with some crinkle ribbon and the Butterfly is from K&Co. So fun! And the possibilities are endless!!

Happy Friday!

 Just poppin in to share a card this wonderful Friday! I went to Micheal's yesterday and found some wonderful cork. It's thin so you can cut just about anything from it :-) I used my Papertrey die and cut the label out. I also cut out a bunch of flowers...will share later :-) The paper is wonderful Jillibean soup and the center piece is dry embossed. I drybrused white paint over the top of it. I love the technique! The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink also.




 I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Hugs! Char :-)

Happy Wednesday!

Spring has sprung at my house! I just had to take a picture of my very 1st rose and share :-) when it's fully opened it has a ton of petals and is very big. It's an English rose called Abramam Darby. When it starts getting hot here it won't produce like it does in the spring, so I really enjoy them now!


Today's my Friday! I'm taking a few days off to get some stuff done around the house. I just love to spring clean. I know I'm slightly sick lol :-)



I made this card with Crate paper and the picture was found at a little Antique Store a few weeks ago. I love her sweet face and curls :-)

Have a great day! Char
