For my project today I made a vase to display some beautiful spring daffodils to help get the word out about The American Cancer Society's Daffodil Days 2013.
 
I used the brand new Candy Charms & Banners Die and the new Awareness Ribbon Die. As well as, the new Awarness Candies stamp.
Here is a close up
The gold awareness ribbon is for Childhood Cancer.
 
  "While the Daffodil Days program involves offering daffodils every spring to donors in appreciation for their contributions, it is about more than just giving beautiful flowers - it is everyone's opportunity to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays, where cancer never steals another year from anyone's life."
-The American Cancer Society

SVG Cutting File Love Challenge

Hello everyone! I have a cute valentine to show you today!
 
 
I made this M&M treat stick to submit to the SVG Cutting Files Love challenge!
I used a Jaded Blossom 1x8 clear bag, and the stamp set LOVE BUNNY, as well as the new TREAT TAG DIE.
I used the cutest little bunny from SVG Cutting Files called SWEET BABY BUNNY
As soon as I saw this sweet little bunny I saw this treat in my head! I am so happy it turned out just how I imagined! I love these files because of the base that comes with the cut........and  more importantly because the owner Ann is a very generous and sweet lady!
