Sweet Friday!


(sad face) It's our last day 
with Core'dinations... it's been so 
much fun playing with their cardstock 
and seeing all the amazing projects 
their team came up with! 

We loved all the comments you 
have been leaving all week! 
You have through the weekend 
to comment on all the posts this week
for a chance to win
*3* stamp sets from SSS. You can 
also head over to Core for some sweet cardstock!

I'm closing out the week here 
with something really fun I wanted to 
share with you. 

Last night I went to a 'favorite thing' party... 
Have you ever heard of that? 

Well, basically a whole bunch of women 
get together and bring 5 of their favorite 
thing that costs under $5. So, like lip gloss 
or nail polish... or kitchen stuff... or... really 
anything! When you enter the party you 
write your name down on 5 sheets of paper... 
and eventually, when the exchange happens
you present your favorite thing and pull 5 names 
out of the box. So, you leave with 5 favorite things from 
other people! 

Anyway, this party has my name written all 
over it! I mean, clearly... my favorite thing
is crafting ... so, I knew I was going to make 
something..... you know how much I can do 
with $5!?!?!?

So, here is what I made...


I made a card with this little bird nest necklace. 
(btw, the necklace was SUPER easy to make!) 

I used Core cardstock for the necklace b/c I wanted 
paper that was *really* sturdy... and it worked so 
nice! LOVE that lemon yellow! So pretty! 



I sanded the edges and it just looked so simple and 
nice! 



To give them away I put them in the clear boxes 
with a envelope so that they could keep the card... 
OR they could gift it away! 

You can find those boxes on the website... 
LOVE THEM!


I used 'Sentimental Birds' 


You can find that HERE in the shop.


Also, as a little sneak... we're partnering 
with another amazing company next week 
and I'm sure that you're going to LOVE the 
inspiration from it! 

SO, be sure to check back in with us 
on Monday for lots more fun inspiration!
