How are you all today? I hope you had a great weekend! The weather here was just gorgeous. One fun thing I did this weekend was to have the ladies from our Sunday School class over for a Ladies Night Out where everyone brought a yummy dessert. We had all kinds of goodness and some really "sweet" time of fellowship together. Since it was here and since I love entertaining and crafting, I decided to make everyone a little something to take home with them.
The colors were inspired by the plates and napkins I found at Target. You can just see the edge of them in the left hand side of the top photo. I found some cute ribbon that matched the color and patterns perfectly. I filled some small cello bags with spring colored kisses and added them to the cute little white buckets that I have had for awhile. I added the flowers to dress them up a bit. Tempting Turquoise was the closest thing I had to the color so I made it work. I used the Fun Flowers Die from the Occasions Mini to make them. It is the smallest flower on the die in Turquoise plus a white circle from the die and a So Saffron center, also from the die. I ran the flowers through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder and the Saffron Centers went through using the Square Lattice Impression Folder. The leaves are made from the Butterfly die using Certainly Celery Stock. The tag was created with the Tiny Tags stamp set and matching punch. I adhered the tags with a Pretty in Pink brad and then I added a dimensional under the white center to hold it all together and give it some depth. I then added the flower to the ribbon using a couple of glue dots. I think they turned out cute. These along with the tulips is making me more anxious for Spring to arrive. How about you? Are you ready for spring? It's been a long hard winter for so many this year. Smiles …
Super cute! Makes me long for spring...it's way cold and snowing here!
