Today's the Day

I've put it off long enough.  I haven't lost the weight.  The big day is closing in on me.  I need a dress. 
Today's the day...I shop for the mother-of-the-bride dress. 
And then I'll console myself with matching shoes.
I'll let you know how it goes.
In the meantime I have a fun card to share.

I love this Beautiful Blooms paper from PTI!  I paired it with white cardstock and a simple flower made using Marvy flower punches and Pure Poppy and Hawaiin Shores cardstock.  I added the sentiment from PTI's Year of Flowers:  Violets, a black button and white silk ribbon.  So easy (and fun!).   

Thanks for looking, and wish me luck!

The Jarfait

I love to blog surf for fun ideas for the kitchen and for the crafty room.  One of my favorite sites is Pen and Paper Flowers where I found a link to this awesome new magazine.  Lo and behold, right on page 34, I found the jarfait, described there as the "portable parfait for a take-home treat!"  How fun, and how about the jarfait as a partner for PTI's Friendship Jar stamp set!!  So....

I made these - my favorite parfait, I mean jarfait. 

Bananas, 'Nilla Wafers, pudding and cool whip...what could be better?

Wouldn't you know it that before I could get the tags made, this happened.

So I had to settle for a card from the Friendship Jar set.

I still wanted to make a tag with the Friendship Jar set, so I put together a small gift of granola from this post for someone who needed a little pick me up.  So fun and easy!  I can't wait to make more.

Thanks for looking!
