Foxglove & Pansy Seed Packets


It's been awhile since I put together some seed packets.  They are great to give to a friend to brighten their yard and think about you when they see the flowers.  I did two different kinds this time - Foxglove & Pansies.  I placed non-GMO seeds in each.  Next I think I'll try herbs.

Bunny With Flowers card


I like having cards around that I can send out for any occasion and this cute little bunny is perfect for that purpose.  I can always add a quick liner inside with a stamped "happy birthday" or just use it to brighten someone's day.  I added some metallic accents on the stems to make them pop.Da

I'm Your Favorite Grandchild card


This card makes me smile and miss my grandmother that I got my love of baking from and partially named this blog/craft business after.  I have another card that says the same sentiment but using a stamp to say child.  I had a special request to create a card saying grandchild so I printed the saying off on my printer.

You're Tee-riffic Dad card


I love this brand new release from Newton's Nook.  My only wish is that my father was still here so I could give it to him because he loved to golf.  Instead I'll put the cards up on Etsy so hopefully someone's dad appreciates it on his birthday or Father's Day.
