Gift card holder

A new week has started. Time flies!  The sun is shining brightly here and I'm looking forward to sitting in the sun for a few moments this afternoon! Need some vitamins sunshine...

Today I'd like to show you a gift card holder I made for my friend who celebrated her birthday on Saturday. I found a nice idea on the world wide web for making a holder and it worked out pretty well. I used This & That Graceful from Echo park. I've got many small buttons and that gave me the clever idea to use them the little flowers. Great effect. And she got also a bag with fudges.

And when we came home after the birthday party I found a package in my postbox filled with PTI goodies!! Guess what I will do the coming days... Show you  the first results soon!

Have a nice week!

Fudges for Mother's Day

In our families we are not used to give big presents to our mothers for Mother's Day. But I like to buy something  just to show our love, respect and appreciation. So I bought them 'fudges' in Cambridge. I don't have a sweeth tooth, but I can't resist these candies. They are delicious! They were packed in simple kraft bags, but I 'repacked' them. The idea for this bag is given in the first issue of a Dutch paper craft magazine: Cards and More. I used Basic Grey's Picallily and the sentiment stamp is from Paula Pascual. The first edition of the bag (the yellow and green version) is a bit too small. The red one is slightly bigger.

I hope they are going to like the fudges, but I guess they'll do! Have a nice weekend!
