With Mother's Day and a birthday coming up for me soon, I thought it would be fitting to create a gift set perfect for Mom or the birthday girl. And because I know that I love to receive flowers for special occasions (and even not-so-special ones too!), I decided on a pretty paper bouquet to go along with a card and gift box. Paper flowers are fun and easy to make and the best part... they are maintenance free. Let's get started!  Click here to download the Tips and Tricks PDF.

With the holidays approaching, it is time to start thinking about gifts for loved ones. Most of the time I end up giving gift cards. They are easy to give, and the person receiving get to pick out just what they want. That's a win-win in my book! But since the gift cards themselves are not that personal, I like to take the time to dress them up to let the person on the receiving end know that how special they are, even if the gift card isn't necessarily so. For December's Tips & Tricks, I am going to show you some fun ways to make gift cards just a little more special.
