Hi Everyone:

Welcome! Thank you so much for stopping by this blog and visit for a spell :)

I am please to have you with us.. I’m so glad to be a part of this fun blog hop from Cuttlebug challenge blogspot.

Your Word is  “BURTON”

if you need help putting the quote together, EVA DOBILAS has a hint for you

Once you have put the words in order, send them to cuttelbugcontest@gmail.com

Good Luck!

I have a very simple tutorial for you today, it took me less thank 7 mtes to create..

Our Theme is” Sweets for our Sweet”
I’ve created this little sweet pillow box for my DD…
I used Making Memories pillow box that contained buttons..
I decided to repurpose them for my sweet weekend..

Which made it so easy to use.. I thought about [tag]stamping[/tag] the sentiment , in the end I endup using a glitter alpha from making memories instead..

First thing I did was to remove the buttons. Then I remove the packaging paper to use as my template.

Once I cut the paper then I insert the pattern paper fill with candy, then added the glitter embellishment hearts., ribbon, then use then die cut a tag.

Voila all done in less than 7 mtes..

Thank you so much for stopping bye,

Have a great day,

Maggie
