Happy Easter! DIY bunny paw prints

Happy Easter to our readers!!
 
This year for Easter, I wanted to do something extra special for my little munchkin.
 
So while she was napping, I made bunny paw prints that would lead from her room to the "hidden" Easter basket! :)
 
Here is the template that you can use to make your own!!
 
 
 
 I cut the shadow of the paw out in light pink, light purple and teal. Then I cut the pads out in white.
 
 
 
 
The finished paw prints!
 
 
leading to the basket!

 
And then I cut a bunny at 11" off of the create a critter cricut cartridge. :) This was the Easter bunny's helper as I told Natalie. He was supposed to help her find the basket! She LOVED this bunny! She carried it around all night and even requested that it be put to bed with her tonight. <3

 
Her Easter basket! A new dress, stickers, a new DVD, sidewalk chalk and two eggs filled with a few M&Ms which worked as a shaker egg until she figured out there was candy in there! haha!
 


Great success! :)

Farm animal cupcake toppers!

It's spring and that means............ lots of baby animals are being born on the farms! :)
 
My daughter is OBSESSED with going to the farm these days. We love going to get farm fresh eggs (you really can taste and see the difference!!) and for her to see the animals grazing happily.
 
If we are in the car, I'm sure to hear "farm? farm, mommy? Please?"
 
Well, you can imagine her joy when I was asked to do a barn/farm party! Here are the cupcake toppers we did!
 
 
We also did a few with silhouettes of the animals with the guest of honor's age and initial!

 
These just make me want to squeal with delight! :)

Friday feel the love- DIY banners!

Tiffany is California is a crafty kind of mom! She wants to instill a love of creativity in her son and so she asked us to come up with some turkeys and leaves for her so she and her son could create a thanksgiving banner together. So cute!!

Well, for some reason the post office took OVER three weeks to deliver her package. Not really sure what the heck happened, so of course we felt TERRIBLE! (even though it wasn't our fault!)

So we shipped her some christmas trees, reindeer and other fun holiday items (on us!) so that they could also make a christmas banner together! :)  We sure hope we will get to see pics of the finished product!

Anyway, here is what she had to say about her experience with us!


"Thank you soo much!! My son was excited, for both shipments :)" -Tiffany in CA Pin It Now!

lady bug welcome sign!

We recently did a lady bug party for a little girl who is turning 1!
 
Her mom made little lady bug wings as her favor for her daughter's friends so she needed a sign that that said just that!
 
 
Per usual, we popped the words with 3D blocks! (of course!)
 


And I used two different types of font to give it that extra special look. :)  And of course we can make the message say anything you would like!

Sunday Link of Support- Steve Blunt kids musician!

Attention to all of our New England readers!!! You have a great children's musician in your area!!

Steve Blunt, was my middle school english teacher and he was always incorporating music into our lessons. A girlfriend of mine was recently visiting and we were reminiscing about the good 'ol days including 7th grade and Mr. Blunt came up in conversation. He had always wanted to do more with his music (and he was really talented) so we were so thrilled to find out he DID follow his dream and he is making it happen! :)

Check out his site!! http://www.steveblunt.com/

Not in the New England area? No problem! He has lots of fun CD's too!! :)

I'm going to be ordering a few for my daughter for sure!!

This is my new hands down obsession! :)
 
We recently had a mama ask for a SUPER rush order under the sea banner. I mean, RUSH, as in...... I had less than 24 hours to make it and ship it out!
 
CRAZY! but I did it!! :)
 
So here is my new pride and joy!
 


We alternated a shimmer blue and shimmer yellow for the bubbles, with shimmer white for the actual bubble.
 
LOVE the adorable starfish for the age

 
Cute little octopus!

 
This WHALE!! I can't take him, he's so stinking cute!!

 

 
Tied off with ribbon and the letters are popped off with 3D foam pops for a great detailed look!
