Verve Project Parade!

 

Hi everyone!  It's my turn on the Verve Project Parade over on the Verve blog today!  This month's theme is Happiness for Hostesses!  I made this project for my important Mom friends!  We have coffee a couple times a month and have recently decided to move the location of our meetings from Starbucks to one of our houses so we can be loud and silly without anyone staring!!  LOL!  I won't go into great detail here, but you can hop on over to the Verve Blog for another picture and description of my project and a chance to enter Verve's giveaway!

Thank you for stopping by!! 

To Teach...

 

...is to touch lives forever...Isn't that such a beautiful statement? 

Hi everyone!  I made these cute little boxes using the Rounded Wrap Up template by Lauren Meader for some little end of the year teacher gifts.  I actually made five but couldn't get a good picture of them all together, so I just photographed two of them.  I filled each of them with some Ghiradelli Chocolate Squares and a Starbuck's giftcard.

Here are a few details:  The color combo is Kraft, Pure Poppy, Black and White.  The stamps are from the Papertrey set called Teacher's Apple.  I purchased this set awhile ago knowing it would come in handy!  The apples were stamped, cut out, and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder to make them shiny...it really looks shiny IRL!

I hope you have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!

 

Stamps:  Teacher's Apple (Papertrey Ink)

Friend...

This is my second post for today.  To check out the Paper Pretties Sneak Peek scroll down to the next post....

The Verve Project Parade is in full swing on the Verve Blog and today my project is featured.  The theme for this month's project was "It's a Girl Thing:  Celebrating the women in our lives"

I knew I would make a project that celebrated my "Mom" friends.  My "Mom" friends are three women I met when my youngest daughter started kindergarten.  We hit it off on the first day of school and remain great friends today.  My girls trust them and I know I can count on them if I need ANYTHING! 

 

I made three Rounded Wrap Up boxes from Lauren Meader's Timeless Templates line.  These templates are so fantastic!  I used three different color schemes (all Papertrey Ink), but the design is the same.  Each box is made with Kraft cardstock and the colors are Hibuscus Burst, Lemon Tart and Summer Sunrise.  I used one of Verve's newest and most beautiful sets, Because Of You.  I stamped the silhouette flowers in the coordinating ink over the sentiment.  To give a softer look to the Hibiscus Burst silhouette, I stamped it off once before stamping over the sentiment.  All of the cut out flowers have rhinestone gems in the center and each flower was brushed with Angel Wings Shimmerz. 

This is a close up of the Summer Sunrise box.  Don't you love all of these colors with Kraft?  I do!! 

Well thank you so much for stopping by!!  I hope you have a good one!!
