SVGcuts.com Tea for You and Me!!

Good morning!

Well, have I had a month! And I see it's been that long since I've been here!

Not to write a novel or anything,,,,,,,,,,,but my youngest daughter has been engaged to marry her fiance now for over a year. They suddenly decided they wanted to get married BEFORE he goes into the service,,,,,,,,

in June.

faint.

I had literally 3 months to get this thing off the ground, and I was NOTHING but busy in April. Between finding and booking a venue, dress fittings, shopping for dresses for the girls, outfits for the men, shoe shopping, making invitations (yes, I made them,,,,,,,the base was a kit, but I remade the kit), place cards, programs, and a million other things,,,,,,,,,,,,,,whew!!!!

It will be lovely, however :)  She's getting married at a lovely outdoor venue amidst gorgeous, huge oak trees, in an "Evening in Paris" theme. By the time it's done, I'll be ready for a vacation LOL.

And, of course, I had major computer problems that didn't help. Sigh. JUST got those fixed,,,,,

I'm still going crazy, but I wanted to stop by and drop off a project I've made recently,,,,,,,

I have fallen in love with svgcuts.com. Their projects are just adorable,,,,,,,and so easy. Mary and Leo always provide a video that walks you through the complicated projects and makes them OH so easy!!

so without further ado,,,,,,,here's my project.

Here's the tea cup alone,,,

And the tea pot!

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail,,,,,,,

Hopping down the bunny trail,,,,,,,,,,,

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on the way,,,,,,,,,,

Good morning!!!!

I can't believe how CLOSE Easter and Passover are coming!!!!! Before we know it, summer will be upon us!!!!!

Today, I have some fun little Egg shaped totes filled with some goodies to show you,,,,,,,,I made them for my grand children,,,,,just a little something,,,,,,

for obvious reasons, Easter isn't religious at our house, but my grand children are being raised in a Christian church, and so I like to give them a little something at Easter time,,,,,,

And boy did I have fun this year!!! My Silhouette was HUMMING,,,,,,,,

These darling totes are from the Silhouette online store, and much easier to put together than I ever thought!  This machine even makes perfect score lines to aid in folding and putting them together!!!!!! A bit of hot glue and some decorating, and they're done!!!!!!

Don't you just LOVE those Bunny Bums?  You can get them in the Silhouette store too!!!!

Inside each little tote is a small chocolate bunny, a chocolate carrot and some chocolate eggs! (Later I'll show you what I did with the jelly beans!) 

There's also a darling card made out of a Silhouette cut (I flipped and welded the base to make a card) shaped like a chocolate bunny,,,,,,,,a pretty satin bow and a googly eye, and it's easy peasy to make! Inside the card is a bit of cash for my grand babies to spend,,,,,,,

Project Recipe:
Cardstock: GA Pacific and REcollections
Ink: Memento Summer Sky
Die Cuts: Silhouette Store
Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon
Googly Eye and chocolates: Walmart

I hope you enjoyed the project today, and thanks for looking!!!!!

Party Time Tuesdays!!!!!

Good Tuesday Morning!!!!!!  It's time for Party Time Tuesdays weekly challenge!!! I know you love it,,,,,,and this is our monthly ANYTHING GOES challenge!!!! So anything your heart desires! Just please remember that during our Anything Goes Challenge, we have SO many entries, it's simply impossible for us to comment! We love to see your entries, but to be fair to all, we simply don't comment during this challenge! But know we are looking!!!!

Since it was Anything Goes, I decided to go a bit differently than normal!  I made these really darling candy bags for my grand children and youngest daughter (who thought they were so cute she had to have one!)

I colored these darling scare crows with copics, and fussy cut them out, inking the edges of the moon for effect.I used a 5.5 x11 inch piece of kraft card stock and simply scored at 4.5 and 6x5 folding up both ends,,,,,,,the food grade polystyrene bags full of candy just slip down inside and I stapled the top together (with the bag in there) to hold the bag in,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Fancy pants paper on the front, and then I cut some more fancy pants paper out of my Grand labels 23 nesties to fold over the top,,,,,,,,,I decorated with nested pumpkins and fancy pants stickers,,,,,,,,,and she's done!

Here's a close up of the side, where you can see the candies,,,,,,
