Pinwheel Treat Cups

This first one is a pinwheel shape made from crepe paper. The bow will be straight- the wind was blowing during picture taking.
The next one is a regular paper pin wheels I looked for yellow but the only light yellow had rubber duckies on it.

Everything's Coming up Roses

Today I was cleaning up a little bit and found some old shabby muslin fabric. So of course I had to stop cleaning and make some ribbon roses. That was hard to do since I love to clean so much and have to force myself to craft around. ha

I just love how imperfect and tattered these look. Then I started thinking of a the gazillion ways you could use them.

Decorate a tattered hang tag.

Use them to decorate journals, notebooks or scrapbook pages.

They look especially good with raw paper mache.

How about a vintage paper wreath?

So many different things to do with them, what else can you think of?

Love Tag

I love the aged vintage look of this tag. So shabby and chic.

Looks Like a Party Going' On

see how cute that topper looks on Rebecca's cupcake ?

Easter Swap

Miss Rhea from
sweetnshabbyroses had a fun swap where you decorated recycled yogurt cups to make sweet Easter baskets. I had two swap partners which made it double the fun watching for the mail.


First up, because I received her package first , are the goods from
Taylor

Closeup of the basket. I can never get enough of crepe paper. My hub said it looks like something I would make. He's right.



Here is a shot of the basket when it was full of goodies.



My favorite was the pretty pink rose clip.

And here are all the goodies. A small candle that matches the paper on the basket, a chocolate bunny (of course he's already gone, why do you ask?), a wand with a changeable scene, and some tiny lip gloss.

And now here are the goods I received from RebeccaHere are the things from inside the basket. Faux cupcake, pink mica flakes, accordion fold Easter booklet, ice cream bubbles and a glittered bunny wearing a rhinestone choker.

This faux cupcake was my favorite. I now use it to showcase my cupcake toppers in my shop. I think I may have hinted around for one. :)

Look at this lovely basket. Polka dots and crepe paper- things I swoon for.

Check out the handle, don't you love that silver peeking out?

I just want to say thank you to Rebecca and Taylor. You girls rock at swaps.
