A box of sunshine

Hello my sweet friends! How are you? We had a lovely (lazy) weekend as family. We went out for walks, did some cooking at home, watched some telly, played some games... Perfect! Hope your weekend was nice as well!

Have you ever heard of "box of sunshine"? I came to this term a while back when I was browsing the internet. Basically it means that you take a box and fill it with lots of yellow things and send/give it to your friend/relative/penpal... I loved that idea so when one of my friends wasn't feeling well I just knew that I wanted to send one of those boxes to her. :) I tried to get many different yellow things that I thought she would like. Here's what I bought.

I also bought her 2 wooden Gorjuss postcards (she collects postcards), but forgot to add them to the pile when I took the picture.

Of course I also had to make a card to send it with the parcel. 

I sticked with the sunshine theme and made this CAS card. I didn't use any design paper, just yellow and white cardstock. White cardstock was embossed with Cuttlebug's embossing folder. I used googly eyes on the sun and drew the mouth by hand. Sentiment is a TGF stamp (Mini remix- Happy). I embellished the card with a few sequins.

So much from me today. have a sunny day! :) xx

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:
The Greeting Farm: Monochromatic
7 kids: Anything goes
Word art Wednesday: Anything goes
HeARTful stamping: Anything goes + stamp

Mini and mega mini release at TGF

Hello my crafty friends! Some of you may have already seen news (or even sneak peeks) about the mini and mega mini releases at The Greeting Farm. Well, the waiting is over, because today those cuties hit the store.

I got to play with 2 of those sets: Mega-mini Amazing and Mini-remix Happy.

This is the card I made with the Mega-mini Amazing set.

I used most of the character stamps from this set. Aren't they cute? And just imagine all the stuff you can create with them!! Around the girls I stamped some stars, which is also one of the stamps in this set. I wrote the sentiment in Word and just printed it on a piece of white cardstock. Around the edges I drew some stitches and decorated the upper corners with golden brads.

And this is the card I made with the Mini-remix Happy set.

I used 3 different stamps from the set on this card - Anya, kitty and the sentiment. I drew the grass with my pencils and Promarkers. The flowers are teeny tiny stickers I've had in my stash for a long, long time. To decorate the card I just used a piece of ribbon, doily and some tiny pearls for the butterflies.

So much from me today. Now hop to the TGF blog and check out what my teamies made with the new sets. :)

Hugs! xx
