Beauty is only skin deep.
It's really gross under that.

Mom's Day

I've just listed a bunch of Mother's Day cards in my Etsy shop. The EtsyGreetings Team I belong to is having a special for Mother's Day and if you search for 'EGMOM' you'll find many shops who are participating.
In my shop if you purchase two(2) cards/card sets your items will be shipped FREE (US and Canada only)! (I'm not really being choosy--purchase any two items and I'll ship for free.)
Mother's Day is for moms of all sorts--

♥ your mom,
♥ mom-in-law
♥ grandma
♥ teacher
♥ neighbor
♥ friends.....

So take a look at the many cards available and give me a shout if you'd like a few! Thanks!

Scallops O' Fun

I love making tags and embellishments with my 2" scallop punch and since I had tons of left over paper scraps I went "punching crazy". I made huge amounts of scallop circles. Tons.
You can use these pretties in so many different ways! {My daughter likes to tape them to our dog Dixie's eyes and pretend she's a pirate. ARRRGGHHH! -I so wish I had a picture for you all to see.}

Head on over the PinkPatrice Boutique and pick some up today. And if you have a certain color scheme in mind just give me a holler!

Tulips All Year Long

I saw this cute tutorial on how to make paper tulips while reading one of the many blogs I stalk.

I love tulips.

In fact, I love them so much I didn't bother digging up the bulbs last fall when my husband and I laid landscaping fabric and shredding bark on all the beds in our yard. Then a few weeks ago I noticed the fabric bulging up and couldn't figure out why.

After a moment or two of stupor I realized my poor tulips {and daffodils and crocus} were diligently trying to break their way out of the fabric to see the sun. I was able to free them by cutting a hole in the landscaping fabric.

{Yeah, I do NOT have a green thumb, unlike my mother who can bring a plant back from the dead. I'm not even kidding}

Anyway- I thought the paper tulip flowers were so cute and simple to make I thought I'd post the link to the tutorial here. Go and have fun with some paper! {I've got more REAL flowers to save.}
