By


Welcome to the "April Showers Bring May Flowers" Blog Hop!  

We're so happy you could join us today!  

You should have arrived from SARAH. If you happened by my blog or are joining me from your dashboard, head over to Miranda's blog to start at the beginning. We don't want you to miss any of the fun!
 
We will be showcasing Spring like projects or projects with a rain or flower theme! In addition to seeing a lot of awesome creations, there is some blog candy available too.  Miranda will be giving away a gift card from either Michael's or JoAnn's (winner's choice).  To be eligible for the blog candy, you are required to visit each stop in the hop and leave a comment!  The winner will be announced Wednesday, Apirl 24th on Miranda's blog! 

 I wanted to share with you a garden party theme that me and a good friend did together for her daughter's first birthday.  Hopefully, you can get some great ideas for your Spring/garden parties.

 Birthday Banner- using Storybook for letters and flower scallops, and fabric butterflies from craft store. I strung it on twine.


Here is a close up, all were cut at 4"


Table centerpiece using a glass vase to hold flowers from the yard in a wicker serving basket. In the bottom are pretzels.  Added a little sign from the $1 store and the green flower is a hair rubber band.

 Cupcakes using liners from Walmart along with cake pop vellum flower pedals.  Another butterfly from the craft store (Hobby Lobby, these were all clearance).  Added some fake flowers around the cupcakes.

 Here is a close up of the cupcake picks that I made with the Cricut

Photo centerpiece (guy in the picture is my hubby, forgive the Steelers shirt, I am a Browns fan, lol)  Just used some branches from the back yard.  Cut out the flowers on the Cricut and cut the pictures by hand.

 Little highchair banner for the birthday girl with her name.

Hope you liked the decorations!!!!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you.
