"Easy as Pie" Shaker Card



You may be able to tell that I've been scrounging around in my old paper stacks.  I'm trying to tame the beast - my paper stacks look like hoarder territory.  So far, I've chopped a bunch of it into 6x6 and recycled extras of anything that I don't just love.  At first, it was almost like cutting off my arm, but it's gotten easier!  This is some old Basic Grey (I think). 


It was fun to go through all the 6x6 pieces to see what would work with this adorable girl and her kitties (you can download her below).  Once I settled on the old Basic Grey, I created the easiest shaker card ever. Seriously, easy as pie.  Not as easy as making pie, easy as eating pie!


All you need is a plastic bag and sequins.  I found stapling it to the cardstock was the best method for keeping it in place.  See?  Easy as (eating) pie - just not as tasty!

Have you got (hoarded) some old paper?  Drag it out and make something cute!

Sending Hedgehugs to You!



Sending you hedgeHUGs.  That's just adorable!  My son-in-law, Paul, had hedgehogs as pets when he was little.  He seems to think they are pretty awesome.  The closest I've been to one is sweet Hedgie in Jan Brett's books.  I have to say he is pretty awesome!  

The hedgehogs in this treat set are super cute   I got the stamps first and then came across the darling paper for the treat bag.

Here's a closer look at the card:



I already had the card made before I saw the hedgehog paper - it couldn't have been more perfect!



Love the shape of this treat bag as well.  I made it just a little squat-y.  Seems to make it cuter somehow!  Check out the video below showing how to make it:



Hopefully, you'll have a lttle something to package that would be a perfect fit for this little bag. 

Anyway, here's sending a couple of hedgeHUGs, just for you!

Purrfect Valentines



Granny.  Grandma.   A guy at work keeps calling me granny - hoping to get a rise out of me, I think.   Everyone keeps asking me "What do you want to be called?"  Well, I don't have a problem with Granny or Grandma.  I really don't need a name that makes me seem younger.  I'm happy to be a grandma!  I guess I'll just let Louisa decide.  After all, whatever she calls me will be PURRFECT!



This was a fun card to put together.  I tested out my new chameleon pens on the two kitties.  I'm not sure about the markers yet.  There is a bit of a learning curve and while they are cool, they can't quite do what Copics do.  

I built the shaker on the back of the front panel of the card.  



It's finished off with a scallop die cut to hide the pieces of the shaker.



And oh, my gosh I think this sweet kitty is purrfect!  If you think she's purrfect for one of your valentines, you can download her below.  



The sentiment is part of the download, too.

Dropbox seems to work differently for different people.  Either right click and save when image appears or click the download button in the top right corner.  If neither method works, email me and I'll send the files to you.

So, if you're a grandma, what are you called?  I'm sure whatever your sweet grandchild calls you, it's purrfect!
