Birds of a Feather

Pin It Hi!  Just a quick post today to share a cute little set of note cards I made for my sister for Mother's Day...  I shared in my last post this new love I have for the "Tweet Talk" set by Papertrey Ink and today's post will prove my love is real!  :)

I seriously can't get enough of this chubby little bird!  She just makes my heart sing!  :)  

My sister, who is (after my own mom) the best mother I know, always likes to do nice things for other people and I knew she would love this little set of notecards.  And I especially love that she can personalize her own cards with the mix-n-match sentiments!

And just for fun, I made these matching {giant} paperclips so she can keep all her *schtuff* organized (and pretty!  :)

Fun, right???  I hope all you moms (and sisters of moms and daughters of moms!) had a fantastic Mother's Day!  I hope your loved ones let you know how you special you are -- and how loved!  :)

This will be my second entry into this week's challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays!  :)

Supplies:

• Papers - Memory Box "Brioche" and Neenah "Solar White" Cardstock
• Stamps - Papertrey Ink - "Tweet Talk"
• Inks - Memento "Tuxedo Black" and Copic Markers

"Whoooo-ooo-oo" Do You Love??

"Whooooo-ooo-oo" doesn't love an adorable owl???  I sure do!   And this set by Darcie's is one of the cutest around!!  (check this previous post featuring this little owl!)  This time, I used the same set to create an adorable chipboard shadowbox *girlie* owl for my sweet niece!  (sidenote:  this little girl stole my heart 10 years ago and has had a tight grip ever since -- love you to pieces, Special Agent K!!  :)

I love the colors here -- all papers from the MME "Penny Lane" collection -- and the subtle shades I was able to get using a mixture of distress inks and my new distress markers, which I am crazy for, btw!!  :)

A sweet little Something for a sweet little Someone, no?  :)

Pin It Confession time!  I love, love, love Darcie's stamps!  There isn't a single set made by this fantastic company that I don't think is beyond adorable!  So, I wanted to share this cute little wall-hanging that I made for a dear friend who just had a little baby boy (and then I liked it so much I had to make another one to sell on etsy ;)  Check out my listing here.

This little sweetie was stamped on watercolor paper, heat embossed, and then inked up with my new Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  **ahhh... LOVE!**  The chipboard shadowbox (with acrylic faceplate) is also from Darcie's and is covered with papers from K&Co.'s Wild Saffron line.  How cute is this?!?  =)
