Bulb Favors

Bulb Favors from My Own Ideas blog #diy #spring #favor #wedding

(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Diamond Tags in Summer Garden style.) Did you know that just about any bulb will grow in rocks? Neither did I until I came across an article about paper white bulbs. The article explained that as long as the bulb was always touching water and the container was heavy enough to take the weight of the plant, it would grow. I wanted to try it myself just to see, but paper whites were no where to be found since they are a winter flower. So I picked up a bag … [Read more...]

matchbox-shrine-5

(Used in this project: Rectangle Labels in Henna style.) Matchbox shrines are one of my favorite craft projects and I thought the idea could transform well into a beautiful wedding favor. Decorate blank matchboxes with personalized labels from Evermine and fill them with small trinkets and treasures that symbolize your love and wedding day. I included the phrase, "Live my the Sun. Love by the Moon." to match the mood and theme of the new Henna style. The final result turned out beautifully … [Read more...]

Homemade Ranch Dressing from My Own Labels #recipe #salad #gift #labels

(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Diamond Tags in Royal Suite style.) Because it’s spring, and because gardens everywhere are sprouting salad greens, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite dressing/dip recipe of all-time; a homemade version of the best-selling salad dressing in the United States since 1992. I personally love bringing this dressing to lunch and dinner parties as a host/hostess gift, to picnics with friends, and to potlucks as a dip for fresh … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Collar Labels, Circle Tags, Round Coasters and Free Printable Cupcake Wrappers in Lil' Bug style.) Life can get busy with family, friends, work, community all vying for time. Nevertheless, when a little person enters the world, it's a good time to slow down and celebrate his arrival. The ceremony will be lost on the new babe, but the joy and happiness that surrounds the family and friends is that certain kind of special that can breathe new energy into days that pass … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Oval Tags in Lil' Bug style.) I just can't stop writing about these little noisemakers. This post is similar to a previous post about Stella's birthday but here are details on how to assemble them. I remember these from my childhood. How I loved the blast of sound you get when a dozen little kids in a small room blow as hard as they can on these things! As the mom, I am happy to report they don't last long. But while they do, here is a way to make the party just that … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Scallop Labels in Metropolitan style and Rectangle Labels in Renaissance style.) Special occasions are those outstanding times that create sparks of memories for life. Little sparks that are strung together, to illuminate days ahead. Just tiny little moments that when days go by, we can remember with sheer happiness, warm feelings and deep gratitude. (Photo Credit: EnLuce Photography.) I always begin planning events with the desserts. This may seem out of the … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Rectangle Photo Labels, Collar Labels, Small Circle Labels and Coasters in Football style with a 4-pack Bottle Carrier.)

Berry Butter recipe from My Own Ideas blog #recipe #homemade #berry #butter #gift #packaging

(Used in this project: Scallop Labels and Envelope Seals in Rococo style.) Compound butter, which is a mixture of butter with additional ingredients such as herbs, citrus, garlic, and spices, is really simple to make, and effective at enhancing the flavor of food. Personally, I’ve had a lot of success with savory compound butters in the past, and often melt them over my meat dishes, vegetables, and sometimes even air-popped popcorn. It was only recently that I started experimenting with … [Read more...]
