Happy Birthday Gift Bag

This is one of the paper purses from a bundle of 6 different little paper purse ideas. Of course you can mix and match the patterns and accessories and make many different paper purses/gift bags. I made this HAPPY birthday one by using the purse and the tulips. It's wonderful for a little gift and/or a gift card.

You can find the paper purse bundle HERE.

I created it with cardstock on my Cricut.

Hello Spring

Well, it doesn't look or feel like Spring in my neck of the woods !

We got 75 cm of snow on Wednesday and Thursday. (that's almost 30 inches)

Here's what our backyard looks like.

So needless to say I was excited to make this little decoration for my desk. Hurry up Spring !

I'm guest designer at ART NUDGE this month. The February photo prompts are:

Coffee

Yup, another SNOW DAY for me !

In Paradise, Newfoundland we got 75 cm of snowflakes !!! (that's equivalent to almost 30 inches)

So that means some more ME time in my craft room.

Oh, for the love of COFFEE !

This is a nice card to add a sweet note to invite a friend to join you for coffee. Or you could send a loving note and tuck a gift card (Starbucks) inside.
