spring flowers

I'm running a day late with this one. Lawn Fawn featured my spring flowers on their blog yesterday, but I wanted to share it here as well.

If you've been here for awhile,  you know that this is party season over at Casa Muni.

My 3 kids have birthdays within 11 days of each other, and I love to craft and bake to make it special for them.  (if you'd like to check out last year's parties, click here, here, and here.)

This year is a first for us. We are sweating our way through renovations on our new home, so we decided to postpone the parties and have a bigger, blowout party for all 3 in the summer. The kids are taking it like champs.

I still wanted to create something to make each of them feel celebrated on their special days. Here is a taste of what I made for Sofia, although the timing makes it perfect to consider for Mother's Day too:

My biggest girl loves flowers, so I masked my little heart out to create something that she'd love.

And then while I was colored flowers, I colored a few more:

I used the Lawn Fawn cupcake wrapper, but added another strip of brown cardstock to the top so that it looked more like a flower pot. The chocolate cupcake was covered in oreo crumbs to make it look like potting dirt.  A green straw doubled as a stem for the flower.

I filled the cup with chocolate milk and added another flower to the drinking straw.

Am I the worst mom in the world to be throwing a gift card at my kid? gah. I dressed it up, though, and added another flower to the front.  I cut slits into the sides of the straw, and slipped the leaves in there (I did the same with the cupcake topper.)

I hope you like it!

I'll be back tomorrow with a renovation update, and a round-up of the new lighting I've purchased for the new house!

just because {lawn fawn inspiration week}

It's time for another day of lawn fawn inspiration!

The possibilities for creativity are endless with #awesome.  This set can be paired with any other lawn fawn set.  I made it work with our friendship grows:

I masked a few sunflowers into the vase, colored it all (adding an enormous amount of wink of stella to the flower centers,) and die-cut it into the instagram picture and frame.

Milo's ABCs is always my favorite for creating custom sentiments.

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the lawn fawn blog today.

yetis and sunflowers {new lawn fawn sneaks!}

Welcome back to another day of lawn fawn sneak peeks!  Today I have another 2 cards that clearly do not belong in the same blog post, haha.

Let's start with the sunny sunflower from "our friendship grows":

I cut off half of the petals on a few of the flowers, to make them look like they're angled differently... and added a smiley face from "sunny skies" to brighten things up even more.



I love that sentiment, don't you?  so sweet.  Behind it, and behind the sunflowers, I created a striped background using the highlighter side of my copic marker and a ruler.  To me, that is so much easier than trying to line up a stamp sometimes...



And now, for a something completely different..."yeti, set, go" - it's so cute!



I hand-drew the hills, which means they are imperfect, but I prefer "whimsical," okay?  I stamped and masked and stamped the trees, colored them in and added snowy white and glitter to each one.



It was hard for me to tell if the yeti was hostile or friendly, so I added a heart to his belly.  I feel like the heart makes him all cute and cuddly :)

See what else is new over on the lawn fawn blog today!
