🌸hello crafty friends! I just have to have lots of notepads laying around my house! Ready to jot down craft ideas, grocery lists, to-do lists, just about everything! It’s a extra plus if the notepads are super cute too!🙂 I was inspired to make these little notepads by one of my favorite paper crafters. You will find her link at the end of my post and she has wonderful instructions on how to make them! You can find the plain notepads at Dollar Tree. Using scrapbook paper and embellishments, they will be transformed into a boutique quality gift for special friends or family!🌸 Here are the ones I created! Click on the pictures for a sharper image.

 🌷Hello crafty friends! Before I say goodbye to my favorite spring holiday, I have to share these adorable embellished paperclips! I found this precious paper collection online. They came all the way from New Zealand! Took awhile to get here, but worth the wait!💛I will put a link at the end of the post so you can order them too. I carefully wet the edges of each picture with a little paintbrush, then used my fingers to tear the pictures to the size I wanted. Let dry and used distress ink on the torn edges. I coated each picture with a glitter paint and then glued it along with all the ribbons, sequins and metallic thread onto a folded card stock rectangle. Then, I hot glued it shut with the paperclip inside and the larger part outside. I used my Cricut to design the cutest presentation card! By the way, I'm getting to really enjoy that purchase!🙂 🐥🐰Lets take a look at all these cute bunnies & chicks! Click on each picture for a sharper image. 🐥So Cute!🐰 🐥Each card will
