Happy Birthday Cynthia!

Happy Tuesday and Happy Mardi Gras!

To be completely honest, yesterday was actually Cynthia's birthday but I didn't get my post up in time. So my post and present is a day late, but hey, who doesn't like to extend their birthday by a day or two?

Anywhoo... enough about what a lame SIL I am, lets talk about Cynthia's present... shall we?

I found these super cute wooden clothes pins at Michael's last week. I found them in the $1 section and they came in several colors. I grabbed a few of the turquoise one's thinking I could spruce them up a bit and do something fun with them.
This is what I came up with. 

I used some sandpaper and roughed up the edges  a bit. I wanted it to look a little beat-up/scraped-up. Then I chose some papers from Echo Park's, This and That paper collection. 
The roses were sized in Make-the-Cut and cut out with my Ecraft. They can be found on the Quilled Flowers file from Lettering Delights. The larger one was cut out at 3" and the smaller at 2 1/4".
 The tag and sentiment are both from My Creative Time's, Teeny Tag Greetings stamp set. I think this set is one of my most favorite sentiment sets and those little tags are just the perfect size!

Happy belated birthday Cynthia! I hope you had a wonderful day!

See you tomorrow!

Warm Holiday Wishes

Happy Tuesday!

I am starting to work on Christmas presents and that includes cards too. My goal is to use everything that I make/post on my blog. I have several large boxes full of all my paper crafts and I need to be better about "gifting" the things that I make. 
So today's card is a Christmas card... but I like it so much, I am thinking that I may have to keep it. Ha! Oh well... all that counts is that I am tyring, right? :)
The base of the card is from the Best Witches Party Cut Its Set and the holly is from the Merry Stitchy Cut It's Set from Lettering Delights. The horse is a svg file that I purchased from Little Scraps of Heaven, called Rocking Horse. The horse comes with a heart on is back, I replaced it with the holly & berries to make it more festive. I used Make-the-Cut and the Silhouette to design and cut everything out.
 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, DCWV, and K and Company's Yuletide Christmas stack.
The sentiment is from My Creative Time's stamp set called, Mixed Holiday Sentiments.
I also used a banner die (from the build a banner kit), turned on it's side, as a tag for the sentiment. 

I hope you have a wonderful day!
