Third Thursday Fond Farewell Blog Hop

Well, have you survived the week?! I am barely there! I am no joke on my way out the door to Taryn's spring party! Easter Treats in tow! The kids do not have school tomorrow so I am sure no one will want to sleep in!

On this months Third Thursdays blog hop we are hopping with the theme "A Fond Farewell". With the retiring list coming out this past Monday, I found out the sad news that the Follow Your Dreams Bundle will NOT be carrying over! Gasp, cry... Do what you got to do... The creations I am showing you today were created for a fun After Party Brynn Thornburgh hosted in Salt Lake City! I was asked to design two make and takes... Here is what I made!

The Follow Your Dreams bundle is sadly retiring... Although it will not leave my craft room! I have paired it with Mint Macaron and Petal Pink with touches of the Wood Textures DSP and Champagne Foil. To keep my projects cohesive, for the pizza box I have used the Wood Textures DSP again with Blushing Bride, Sahara Sand and Pear Pizzazz. 

Thank You so much for stopping by! I can't wait for you to see what Kimberly has made for you, you can get to her blog by clicking the next button below!

Creation Station Celebrate the Season Blog Hop

Happy Creation Station Sunday! I can't believe we are already into December and I want to know if I am not the only person without a Christmas tree up yet... I started a bit of Christmas shopping, it seems easier but more expensive as the kids get older. Wesley, my 12 year old, wants "Beats"... I mean I know what they are, but is he really ready for them... So I stumbled on a Zulily Deal for them... I will be the best Mom ever! Enough about that...

This month on the Creation Station Blog Hop we are Celebrating the Season. I had a Christmas Card order of 24 cards for a local friend... Let me show you what I have made today...

My cards start with a nice winter white layer of Very Vanilla, I have stamped the Pine Boughs from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Mossy Meadow. I have accented this with a nice strip of Joyous Noel Specialty DSP, I am so sad this is no longer available. This is layered onto a nice piece of Crumb Cake Card stock and adhered to the Very Vanilla. The Stitched Oval with Mossy Meadow sentiment was added with Stampin' Dimensionals with a nice piece of the Merry Merlot/Copper reversible ribbon. I did this in two color bases Merry Merlot and Mossy Meadow.

My fun gift bag I made on my life the other day. It is a bit fancier using all the dies from the coordinating Pretty Pines Thinlits. They are nicely layered onto a 3" x 4" piece of Very Vanilla Soft Suede Buffalo Check. It was perfect for holding my card order and was a nice and easy way to decorate and dress up this kraft gift bag!
