Wood Rings Playing in the Rain critters
Wood Rings Playing in the Rain You know that I love wood rings real or fake. Plus being able to add a few cute little critters to the mix is just fun. Sooo, Wood Rings Playing in the Rain should not be a surprise. How about these for gift tags?? They could also be used in a spring garland too. Want a closer look?? I was excited to add in the cloud punch to these too. Adding the raindrops to add a bit more to the clouds. However, my favorite is the coloring. Grab your Stampin’ Blends in all your favorite colors. I used Calypso Coral, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Succulent.…

March it started with $1
Here is where this begins… Saw this at the Dollar Tree before Christmas. It had hot pink and bright yellow stripes. BUT the sizing was right. Do you grab stuff, come up with ideas and buy… but they sit on the shelf? YUP, this was one of those!! I wish I could remember where this saying came from!! I would happily give them credit. The left is where I started. The right had more impact. Did you know that the retired Large Letter dies are on the clearance rack?? For LESS then $60! Snag those puppies quick! In addition to those dies, grab what you need of the 2018-2020 In…

Adhere with Multipurpose Glue. Arrange your punched out pieces and do not be afraid to use those partial pieces. Even the little flowers that have a straight line can be used along the heart or edge. A FUN find … the “Hello Sunshine” fits in…
