Bunny Bows

  When I received my bunny die from Polka dot parade, I knew I would make some type of hair bow with it.
Of course the color is purple! Now Lilly (my 2 yr old granddaughter) loves purple too; just like her big sister.
I used Winter Wisteria grograin ribbon for the bow but with different felt colors for the bunny so my daughter will be able to determine which bow belongs to which child.

 I only purchased the Boutique Accessories stamp set.  It was used here. I just cut two parallel slits to attach the bow.

 Looking for a different way to package the bows since none of my plastic bags would do, I decided to make the glassine bag a mini purse.

 Here I used a different stamp from Boutique Accessories.

Thanks for popping in.

More Party Decorations.

  September is full of family birthdays. Both my daughter and granddaughter are Virgos. Since my granddaughter was born 4 years ago, my daughter's birthday has taken a back seat somewhat. Their birthdays are 2 days apart.
  This year I had the family over for dinner to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Since I had made some party decorations for my granddaughter's birthday, I thought I should rightfully create some for my daughter's birthday dinner.

Now, a birthday is not complete unless there is a party favor. So this is what I whipped up. I filled the bags with 4 nuggets of candy.

  Needless to say my daughter was surprised and appreciative of all I did to make her birthday special.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

DT Inspiration--Danielle Flanders

     Papertrey Ink has a challenge on their blog today, based on the designers' favorite projects. You are to choose one project inspired by a DT member and create something using that as your inspiration. My inspiration was Danielle Flanders' glassine bags. I just love these bags. I have them in all three sizes. Danielle was very creative in her thinking outside of the box by using her bags as a party invitation.
 

 

    I on the other hand stayed with the traditional use for the bags. Since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I decided to package up some treats for my coworkers.  I never feel comfortable using staples when packaging food. Wanting to use something other than ribbon/twine I decided to use  these mini clothespins.

    With some scraps of paper and doiles, some rhinestones, my heart border die and some valentine stamps, I transformed them into these.

     
         I browsed through all my different dies and valentine/love stamps and made a variety of tags.

Here's the end result of a few of them.

    This is what's inside each bag. (Sorry for the glare from the wrappings)  Chocolate covered cherries are my favorites.

  I made 13 of these bags. My goal was to refrain from using twine, ribbon or buttons. So far so good. I  have three more to make.  Luckily I still have a week until Valentine's Day.   Thank you Danielle for your inspiration. The timing was perfect. Thanks for looking.
