Happy (Tiny) New Home Gift Set

My best friend and her husband will be closing on their new house soon and that gave me a reason to make another tiny house from the Papertrey Ink Petite Places collection!  I used the Home and Garden die and stamp set this time and used the colors that matched her home.  I also used the Walk in the Park stamp set to create the stone bib around the bottom of the house - so cute!

The set also comes with 1-dimensional dies so you can create a matching card.  I also used the Scene it Skyscapes die for the background.

The autumn trees are just clip art from Microsoft Home publishing.

The topper can be removed from the jar.

Oh, and here's a look at the back.  Since her home is on several acres, I wanted to add "woods" :)



This little gift set will convey a gift card but I also wanted to create a small keepsake to commemorate the event!

Have a great week!

BANANAS!

Hello Friends!  It has been B-A-N-A-N-A-S around here!  Work has been crazy, Dan and I have been painting like crazy...whew!  I even missed my post last week :(  (because it rained like crazy and caused flash flooding - scary) BUT I'm on the ball this week and when I saw Tammy's Banana Fairy (and banana bunch!) I had to play with them! :)  These darling images are new releases this week *and* there is a new A Day For Daisies challenge -- the challenge is to create a beverage-related gift.   Tammy has created some precious teacup fairy images as part of this week's release, also, so you will definitely want to check them out!

My best friend, Rhonda, and I work together so at least we have each other to lean on during this super-busy time at work.  We try to do nice little things for each other -- Rhonda will bring me pumpkin spice coffee and I'll treat for lunch and vice versa -- anything to bolster our spirit and make the best out of the stress!  So this gift was made with her in mind -- that and when work makes us BaNaNaS - we're going to make Smoothies from them - LOL!  I paper-pieced the banana and colored the fairy with copics.  I gave her wings a thick coat of Stickles and then cut out the entire image and mounted it on a felt circle.  The recipe card was computer-generated.  Since the mug is the gift (when you bring it to the smoothie place, you receive a discount on their smoothies!) I wanted to put a bow on it but dressed it up by adding a wine glass charm made from a hoop earring, plastic beads and a shrink plastic banana charm using Tammy's banana bunch image!

Have a wonderful FRIDAY!!!
