It's the weekend! I love weekend as it seems that times slows down just a bit and our time at home together is cherished. Plus it's getting toasty and warm outside and I love the feeling of the sunshine on my face while puttering around outside.
I have a little bit of this and that to share today. First a few gift bags created for Mother's Day using some of my favorite cotton drawstring bags, vintage trim, Prima flowers, brads, and chipboard, Kaisercraft die cuts, and My Mind's Eye chalkboard tags.
These chalk tags are so cute! I tied junk bows to the top of each which consist of a mixture of vintage trims and scrunched seam binding (from My Craft Spot).
My card was created for Emma's Paperie and is based on a color combination there.
I used Prima, Pebbles, and Echo Park here along with a few other supplies. You can see the complete supply list HERE.
Freckled Fawn has a new embellishment kit for May. You can catch a peek at it in the photo below.
Looks like fun, yes? My card below uses elements from the April embellishment kit. So many fun elements to use in each of these kits and they come packaged so cute!
The heart clip, resin flower, vellum alphabet stickers, and washi are all from April's kit, but there are so many other fun things included as well. There are a few more kits available it looks like, so grab one for yourself!
I used Papertrey Ink's Doodlie Do stamp set and paper from the Oh Darling collection from Crate Paper.
And, tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day! In honor of this special occasion, fun events and giveaways will be going on at Basic Grey. I'll try to pop in with a fun giveaway of my own tomorrow, but you'll most definitely not want to miss out of what Basic Grey has in store for you!
Enjoy your Friday!
