Music is one of life's greatest joys!

Today I would like to share a card I made for Charlene and her family.  Charlene is the owner of "The Hen House Paperie" and her mother Charlotte passed away on March 30th.  Although I never meet her mother it seems Charlotte lived a very active and full life.  Charlene said her mother loved music and played the piano, accordion, saxophone, and harmonica. I decided to make a sympathy card with music notes to honor her mother.  Our blessing and prayers are with Charlene and all her family. 

May your day be filled with the sounds of music and bring you much joy and happiness!

Photo Book

Hello Happy Friday!  My husband and I are invited to a 60th birthday party for some friends of ours.  We were asked to bring our favorite memory with us to the party.  I decided to give them 60 pictures for 60 years.  It was kind of a last minute thing so I used a 3-ring binder and plastic photo pages as our memories of friendship and family.

This is the binder I used. 

I covered the binder in paper and added:
Happy 60th Birthday
60 moments 17 years of memories
You're not 60, you are 40 with 20 years of experience. 

What the inside looks like. 

Happy Spring weekend!

Tri-Fold Card

Happy Thursday to you! Today I am sharing a tri-fold card I saw on Heartfelt Creations.  I just love the paper package I got at Hobby Lobby when all the paper was 50% off.  It's from Paper Studio -Haberdashery.  I thought it would be perfect for this projects since it has lots of browns and beautiful designs  on it. 

The card it self is made from a 6x12 CS and folds
to 6x4 size. 

Front side of the card. 

Middle part of the card.

This is the last panel.  The stamp is from CTMH. 

Thank you fro stopping by.  Have a super great day!

32 Gifts for 32 Years

Happy Wednesday to you!!  Last month my daughter-in-law Rena turned 32. (I love being able to say daughter-in-law. Rena & Robert have been married for 6 mos. now )  I got this great idea from my sister-in-law Pauline. When my niece turned 25 and they gave her 25 gifts of 25.  It sounded like so much fun I just had to try it. Here is my 32 items for 32 years. 

Here you see the 32 items of 32.  Rena & Robert
live very Healthy lives and eat very little sugar if any.
They run, ride bikes and do triathlons. I tried to stick
to healthy items and things they would really use.  

I used plastic fruit containers to package most of the
smaller stuff.  I made a trail mix for her using 32
peanuts, raisins etc.  We counted out 32 coins of
each denomination, 32 band aids and 32 lens wipes etc. 

I just had to put 32 Chocolate hugs and 32
 kisses as part of the package.  

I decorated the outside of the containers with paper,
flowers and cupcakes. 

I used tissue paper and paper bags to wrap each item.

Rena just loved it and we got so much enjoyment watching her open the packages.  Thanks Pauline for the great idea!  Everyone needs to try this idea it's FUN!!
