Engagement Card

Hello!!


Today for you I am showing off an Engagement Card I made for our best friends and godparents of our daughters.  I can't take credit for the design as I took the design off Google Image search, I will find the blogger who created it and link them :)
Thank you Janet from Remarkably Created for this card idea!

Engagement Card for our best friends

For this card I have used:

• Blue Card Stock (just from Office Works)
• White Card Stock (Also from Office Works)
• Tempting Turquoise Ink (Stampin' Up)
• Summer Splash Stamp Set (Stampin' Up Summer Mini - Retired)
• Marry Me Stamp Set (Stampin' Up Summer Mini - Retired)
• 2 - 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch - Halved (Stampin' Up)
• Elegant Lines Embossing Folder (Stampin' Up)
• Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (Stampin' Up)
• Big Shot
• Twine (I pinched from my darling Mr S)
• Glitzin' Glamour - Crystalina (I brought at a Craft Expo, but available at most craft stores) - This is on the shells and on every visible line of the Elegant Lines Embossing.
• Sanding Blocks (Stampin Up) - The Polka Dot Embossing has been sanded to show the lighter blue under the surface

I really enjoyed making this card and I still think it is one of my all time favourites!

Happy Engagement to our friends Brad & Aly - we wish you all the best as you embark on the next journey of life together. The night was beautiful and you did a fantastic job! Love you guys!

Until next time

Keep Smiling

Happy Easter Every Bunny!!

So Easter is this weekend, so I thought I'd dedicate a post to my little girl's Easter Hat Parade she had at daycare yesterday. 


Miss M's Daycare has their Annual Easter Hat Parade the week before the Easter Weekend. After making Miss M's hat for her last year being only 1 and a half, and her winning for her room, I decided this year Miss M could decorate her own hat that I made from cardboard I had laying around the house.

Miss M took about an hour to decorate her hat, carefully placing each item onto the hat. She used Easter wrappers, sequins, feathers, bells and gems. All these items we already had around the house from previous art activities.

The Daycare even put on an Easter Egg Hunt for each age group, Miss M had a blast finding her eggs, she found 5 and was extremely proud.

Miss M didnt win the best hat, but she had a blast decorating her hat and she is a winner to us. We didn't give her a prize, because that's not teaching her anything about being a good sport, but she got lots of cuddles and everyone told her how beautiful her hat was, and the smile on her face, the smile of accomplishment was the reward.

I will post again after Easter of our Family Easter Celebrations. We are not religious but we use these holidays as a way to spend time as a family.

How do you celebrate Easter in your family?

Do you reward your children if they dont win something?

Does your children have Easter Hat Parades at school?

Until next time,

Keep Smiling.
