This week at As You See It, Amanda has set a soft, dreamy, romantic colour challenge. Lovely, isn't it? I did a bit of a play around with water-colouring for this card and then made even more of a leap with a good, solid dose of fussy-cutting - not something I usually do. Almost as much time went into cutting up bits of dimensionals to give the bouquet enough support as went into painting it but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. So, why don't you join us this week at As You See It and show us what you make of this lovely colour combination? Ingredients Card: Soft Sky, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, watercolour paper, Soft Sky DSP Stamps: Birthday Blooms Inks: Soft Sky, Soft Suede, Versamark Other: Clear Wink of Stella (flower centre), dimensionals, small oval punch, small oval scallop punch, gold embossing powder, paintbrushes, candy dot.

A Vintage Journey - Neutral Zone Challenge - April 2019
I came across the hashtag #bestibox one day on Instagram and was curious. I clicked on it because based on the picture I saw, I had to know more. The picture I first saw it on was a wonderful little care packaged the person had received. Upon further digging, it seems there are some people who do monthly bestie boxes similar to any of those other popular monthly box subscriptions. BFFs who are separated by miles put together care packages and send them on their way to the bestie. Who better to pick out an assortment of random items than your best friend? Most of my best friends are just an hour down the road so I am not sure this would carry quite the same significance to those separated by hundreds of miles, but I still think it would be so fun to put together a box for my bestie(s). And who doesn't love getting packages in the mail? I have all sorts of ideas for a couple of my best friends that would make doing this pretty fun! I do however think, that perhaps scaling back from monthly to every other month or each holiday would make it easier to prepare and put together something great each time. In the meantime, I created Birthday In A Box for my mom and for my sister as I will not be with them on their birthdays. I had fun creating the boxes. Target does it again. I hit up the gift wrapping, party supply, and dollar bins to help create coherent boxes and added in a few more extras. I also utilized this idea recently to send a birthday gift to one of my favorite people. I took quotes from her favorite movies/people and turned them into gifts. I made a 'Shopping Survival Kit' with inspiration from Phyllis Nefler, Cher Horowitz, Holly Golightly and Mindy Kaling. I cannot wait to assemble my next box.
Let their imaginations take flight with this super simple cardboard box airplane! I honestly was able to put this together in less than 30 minutes and the kids have been playing with it for over 2 hours! Materials: • Carboard Box (for reference, our box was 12" wide x 16" long x 10" high) •
One of the projects I like to do during the Kings and Queens of Hearts unit is a family shield. I send home a tag board shield and the families decorate it according to my instructions. This year, my intern, Amanda Mitchell, wanted the children to make the shields as one of our work stations. […]

IMAAN'S 5TH BDAY PUSHEEN PAWTY- By Astrid From PaperPlayground We celebrated Immy's birthday with a theme she chose herself- Pusheen the cat. Being a Leo lion cub herself, we found she always gravitated towards the feline type of themes, and we all love Pusheen in the household and I was more than happy to oblige! We loved every Pusheen character, but decided to concentrate on Mythical Pusheens- Pusheenicorn and Mermaid Pusheen, along with a few other Pusheen characters (Pusheen eating donut- too cute!) We had so much DIY fun with this party, creating the Pusheen milk carton gifts (filled with chocolates and confetti), making Pusheen bonbons, and of course doing all the rest of the paperie and decorations for the dessert table. The cake was a stunning 3D Pusheen sitting with her birthday cake, created by La Petite Pops. It was really hard to cut her open but we truly couldn't resist the red velvet and Nutella buttercream waiting to be devoured inside!! La Petite Pops also created the cutest Pusheen cake pops, and her trademark layered-style chocolate pyramids in passionfruit flavour. We had an amazing Pusheen macaron tower by Dous Dolce, who created each Pusheen character with perfection. With 16x Pusheen macarons and around 30x normal macarons making up the tower, we were spoilt by choice with macaron flavours in chocolate, green tea, raspberry, Nutella and vanilla. They were all equally delicious! Every dessert on Immy's dessert table was truly special, and Sugar Bee Cakes' Pusheen cookies was no exception! We also loved the Unicorn Jars that Hey There Sugar created; layers of cookies and cream, salted caramel, rose mousse, ube mousse, topped with chocolate crumble, mini macaron (macarons by Nat Letr), edible star confetti and chocolate shards, it was truly spectacular! The shooting star dessert spoon we DIY completed the look. All desserts on the table was made extra pretty sitting on Pretty Pedestals cake stand and marble platters. We decorated with a gorgeous pink feather bunting and honeycomb balls from Ruby Rabbit Party. We also brought in some cupcakes and goody bags for the kids in her Kindy class so no one misses out! I'll never forget her face when she saw the table and all the desserts for the first time! Makes everything worth it - every single time!
