Butterfly Thanks!

Hi and Happy Friday!!!

I used a wonderful and versatile digital set called Modern Flowers by Studio 313.  You can find this set at www.mcmahonfivedesign.com.  I colored the image with my copics and went with the color scheme in the Springtime Vintage DP.

Air Fresheners

Hello!

Today I am posting two pictures of some DIY air fresheners.  I found this fantastic idea on Pinterest.  You can click on the following blog which explains just how easy this project is!  http://smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com/2012/03/easy-baking-soda-air-freshener-tutorial.html
I found the short/wide mason jars at Walmart.  There were four in the pack.  I used lemon essential oil in one and orange essential oil in the other.  They smell soooo good!  Add some design paper and a few embellishments and you now have a darling air freshener! 

These would be cute to give as a hostess gift, a birthday gift or a just because gift!!!  I plan on making many many more!!!  Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Lemon Box

Happy Friday!

Today I made a mini box for the Free For All challenge over at www.splitcoaststampers.com. The challenge was to use inchies or twinchies on or creation. I used my SU! 1 3/8" square punch.
