Here is an easy Spring/Mother's Day project that's bright, cheerful, and fun: a paper flower bouquet! These little pretties remind me so much of daisies, but I couldn't just make them all yellow or white. I love playing with colour - that's the best part of any craft! So I chose colours that make me smile, and got to work! TOOLS & MATERIALS: Card stock, including green 3" scallops punch Scissors 1" pom poms Hot glue gun Green pipe cleaners 2 1/2" heart punch Ribbon DIRECTION

April showers bring May flowers! And now that we're in May, here's a pretty flower art project that you don't want to miss. This will also make a cute gift for Mom. In fact, you can personalize it with a word or phrase, or by dropping a cute photo right in the centre of the flower. I also designed the stem in my Silhouette program. If you don't have a Silhouette CAMEO, no sweat, the PDF template is also attached below so that you can trace the shape and cut it out. TOOLS &

I remember when my niece was just a small kid making these adorable designs with Perler beads and we (the adults) would help her with the part of using the iron to finish them off. Then we'd wait for them to cool, and I remember thinking "wow, how cool is this?" Here we were all amazed by a simple kids craft project. Oh yes, our whole family (the girls mainly) got into them. This project is a throwback to those old times. I created a couple of pendants for Mother's Day (a

Hello friends. I'm just popping in today to show you a few new items I added to the shop this week for that wonderful woman in your life known as mom. MOM, YOU ROCK single card is available HERE. It's not your average Hallmark, but I absolutely love this card. It shows mom how much you really mean it. And that glitter diamond! (insert bulging heart eyes here). MOM 5-piece bundle, including three cards and two gift tags, is available HERE. What's nice about this package is

Hello friends! I'm just coming back from a four-day weekend, and am a little behind with the projects. I hope your Easter was awesome, and being that it was late this year, I think we can now start thinking about Mother's Day (which is Sunday, May 14th). For me, buying my mother the right gift is one of the hardest things to do, but I feel that you can never go wrong with something thoughtfully handmade. So I pulled a few favourites from the archives, and a few others to br

This week has been a non-blogging busy kind of week for me. At the same time, I've been fighting another cold (it seems like I come down with one once a month). While I still need to get my projects together, today I thought I would share 10 pretty paper crafts for Mother's Day. Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8th, which still leaves plenty of time to hand-make the perfect gift. I'm kicking off the list with my paint dipped tassels free watercolour Mother's Day printable bookma

It's funny how as we grow, things become more or less important. For instance, 5 years ago I would have been thrilled to receive a Coach bag as a gift. Two years ago, a beautiful bouquet of flowers would have rocked my world (they still would!) But today, if I was to receive any of the gifts I've chosen below, I would be giddier than a kid in a candy store! Seriously. My craft "hobby" has now become a lifestyle. The more I can collect to make my work easier and a lot mor
