Heart Softball Cookies

The college softball season starts Friday and I wanted to make a special treat for the girls to get them going!  Tomorrow they will have a team building day, spending the whole day and night together as a team, playing games, having fun and bonding as one.  I thought these cookies would be a great way to add to their special day!!

I cut out large heart shaped sugar cookies and frosted them in white royal icing with a black seam.  I also cut out small heart shaped cookies and frosted them in the team color which is royal blue.  I placed a large and small cookie in a cello bag and tied it off with curly ribbon in the team colors. 

For the tag, I stamped a hornet, colored with copic markers and added the colored paper as a background.  I hope they like their cookies and hope we have a great season.  GO HORNETS!!!!

We are attending a 60th birthday celebration this week-end and I decided to make a card.  I wanted something simple but not plain.  I did a card a few months back for a quincenera and had some paper left over.  Since the theme of this party is gold tones, I figured I would try to put something together with the same papers.  I used the "Tall Flower" stamp from HERO ARTS and the sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo's "Thoughts for the Day."  I used a piece of gold ribbon to accent the card. 

I like to add some extra dazzle by decorating the envelopes for the cards I make so I covered the envelope with the same rust colored paper that was used as the background for the card and tied a gold ribbon around it.  Simple but definitely a stand-out!
