Gift Basket for Mom

It's my day tomorrow for a tutorial at The Hybrid Chick.  I posted the basket that I made for my mom for her birthday.  She likes to have my cards on hand to include with gifts or to send as thank yous or for special occasions.  I started with a basket that she could use after all the goodies inside were gone. 

Then I added cards, gift card holders, and tags to the basket.

The seed packets from the Spring Garden set found at The Digi Chick store are darling!  I thought they'd make perfect gift card holders.

I used the same seed packet to make the cards.

I used the journal spots from the set to make the flower and the tag itself.  The Spring Garden set includes lots of pretty pieces and pretty papers, too. 

I made the basket from the easter basket cut file also found at The Digi Chick.  Check out The Hybrid Chick blog for instructions and supply information.  Thank you for stopping by!

Kids Thank You at The Hybrid Chick

How was your weekend?  It was absolutely beautiful here.  Lots of sun, warm temperatures, but still cool enough to sleep great at night.  Monday is my day to post at The Hybrid Chick.  This time I put together a darling Kids Thank You Cards kit.  Super easy to do with the really cute digital kits from The Digi Chick.

The box holds lots of goodies for kids to put together their own cards.   All the pieces are held in chevron bags, so that they can be creative.  Here are a couple of the cards I put together using the elements in the Kids kit:

What a fun way for kids to say Thank You!  Check out The Hybrid Chick blog for all the supplies, more pictures and the directions for putting together this sweet little kit.

Easter Ensemble at The Hybrid Chick

Monday is my day for a tutorial at The Hybrid Chick.  I knew when I came across such darling bunny images, I would have to try printing on fabric again.  Easter is so fun - it brings back memories of hunting eggs for Lauren's birthday.  Her birthday is in April and we had lots of Easter Egg hunts for her birthday party. 

I love this picture (from 1988, when Lauren was two) - the Easter bunny missed an egg and the expression on her face when she opens the empty egg is priceless!  You can see she's got a little pout starting, even though there's quite a few more eggs in her basket.

Check out The Hybrid Chick for a tutorial on the bunnies and tri-fold card.  Hope you had a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Thanksgiving Place Cards and Swing Photo Display for The Hybrid Chick

Hi!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Ours was fabulous...just having Lauren here is always the best!  Add that to getting to have everyone else over and sharing a wonderful meal and great company - well, it doesn't get any better than that! 

 I got the idea for using door knobs from the cover of Somerset magazine.  I wanted to make my Thanksgiving placecard holders a little less permanent -  I might want to use them for something else later!   So, I totally changed up how they are decorated. 

 I used large paper clips as the holder for the Thanksgiving postcards.  (Just wrapped masking tape around the bottom of the paper clip to hold it inside the knob.)  Then I wrapped the knobs with pretty hand dyed seam binding and added tags with our names. 
Here, you can see mine with the place setting:

  Simple, but pretty on the table!

Monday is my day for a tutorial at The Hybrid Chick.  My grandma loves to get photographs of Lauren.  I thought a swing photo display would be a great way to add to her collection.  

You can see the entire thing and a tutorial to make it on Monday at The Hybrid Chick blog.
