Spring has Sprung!


 I have had this Dreaming Tree SVG for quite some time and just last week decided to finally make it.  The watering pail is so cute! Graphic 45 Blossom was perfect for this spring project. It was a little tricky putting the spout on the pail but other than that it was pretty easy to put together. I love the daisy flowers that came with the SVG.  Such a pretty spring project to do! I added some purple gems to the handle and the bottom of the pail. More gems were added to the flower's center. Here are a few more pictures of the project below.



The last birthday card for the month of March is for a high school friend who is turning 70! It is a variation of a gatefold card called "Flying Geese" card. I used another Graphic 45 collection called "By the Sea". It is a beautiful collection! Happy Birthday Julia!

Happy St Patrick's Day!


 We had a fun night celebrating St Patrick's Day last night. I made this little sign with my Cricut which I think came out cute! Here is the centerpiece that I made for the table.


The favors are little leprechauns that I made using punches. I saw a bunch of them on Pinterest and was inspired by them.



And we always have to have a group photo! Our full Irish guy wasn't able to make it and he was definitely missed. I think Donald (guy on the left) won the prize for best St Patrick's day outfit!

More March Birthdays


 This is a quick post of more birthday cards. These cards are all different styles for 3 different people.  I love Elizabeth Craft's owl die. It is so adorable that I had to use it for a card. March has been a busy month for birthday cards and it seems that all the birthdays are at the beginning of the month.  


This is the first time I made this style card. It is from Mixed Up Crafts. It is called a Tiered Pop up card. Here is the link for the video https://mixedupcraft.com/2022/06/19/tiered-pop-up-cards/  Samantha does a great job of explaining this style card.  Here are more pictures of the card. I am definitely going to make more of this style card.
