Here’s my little surprise…… Friday was National Donut’s Day and I was so excited. I did celebrate on National Donut Day with a chocolate curl donut. I actually created a little something in honor of National Donut Day. I saw this on Lawn Fawn’s blog someone created this cute little box with donuts inside of it and I had to CAS. I used the Lil Inker Stitched Rectangle dies to make this cute little box.. Hope you like my treat. I also had the opportunity to do a make and take with Kelly Marie Alvarez the owner of Lawn Fawn… over at Paper Tales this weekend such a great treat.


Isn’t this just the cutest…. hope you had the opportunity to celebrate National Donut Day.
Well my crafty friends have a blessed week……

Happy Memorial Day My Crafty Friends,
I know it’s been awhile for sure.. I’m back and hope to be a little more consistent with my posts. I finished my 17 week Advanced Digital Photography class last Wednesday night. I can’t believe I survived it was a rough 17 weeks in the midst of the craziness I decided to take a Calligraphy class on Saturday mornings. I’m going to chill this summer for sure. Well I decided it’s time to get back into the grove of things and what better way to do that than paper craft a little this weekend. I had a card marathon yesterday afternoon instead of a movie marathon… I’m talking fun.. fun.. fun. Well I’m entering the ColorQ challenge this week and here’s my take.
