Easter and Beautiful Wings

When I took this Happy Easter sign out of my Easter tote I actually thought I might throw it away. But once I added the "Beautiful Wings" Butterflies to it, well, Im LOVE it!!  :) 

The Embosslits Dies from Stampin' Up! are so awesome! The die not only cuts the butterflies but embosses them too! Check out the detail. 

This wreath idea was copied from a blog link from The Savy moms guide blog. When I saw it I knew I had to give it a try. Super simple and super inexpensive. Oh, and SUPER pretty!


It only took a few lunch bags cut with the scallop circle punch, a craft wreath from the Dollar Store, my hot glue gun, some butterflies and a cute "Easter Wishes" stamp.


There are a total of Five different butterflies that come from the one Die.

Soccer

Team Relentless!
My oldest son is on a AYSO Spring Co-ed Soccer team. Their colors are Bright! Very Bright Orange!  
Tomorrow it is my turn to give the kids their game snack. I knew I wanted to do this for them...
 I picked up lunch bags for a dollar at the Dollar Store. ($1 for 40)
I picked up the Orange Gatorades at Stater Bros. (.75 cents each!)
I used the Stampin Up! 
"Goal" stamp set - $11.95 for wood mount and $8.95 for Clear mount.
Basic Black Stampin' pad - $5.95
1/4" grosgrain ribbon - $4.95
Whisper White card stock
Bright orange card stock that I had on hand as well as some black ribbon
 I had left over from another project.
One last thing. I used hemp twine ($2.95) and the Handheld Punch ($8.95) 
to put the soccer ball tag on the bags.
