After you set the paper of your choice on the heart shape favor.....
After, I applied the Crown stamp...
I centered my Letter, and adhered to the center, I (did not measure), In my personal opinion, small imperfections add to the charm, of a lovely hand crafted favor.
Another Version Of Party Favor
Here, I used pinking shears to cut out 2 circles. And applied a small square of double sided foam tape on the back of each circle. I used a glue stick to adhere the gold initial in the center. of the circle. As shown, here this favor was embellished with colorful buttons. I love to use buttons in craft projects, because they look charming and they are very inexpensive.
These are the Gold alphabet letters , they are a very cost effective option
These Gold alphabet letters , are a more cost effective option, a photo by donnabezares on Flickr. I purchased this sheet at Michaels for One dollar.
I usually take the names of guest attending and make one favor with the child (guest) initial and write on the back of the favor , Thank You for attending , Katie or Madison's , Birthday party. One year I used a similar party favor as the party invitation, I just used a rubber Stamp on the back. . We usually , set aside a day for crafting, and my Daughter and grand children trace , cut and paste. So this, is also a great opportunity to spend time with the children.
Heart shaped Party Favors
Next week , I plan on sharing photos of a few Fall season Vignettes, in my home as well as some easy Fall season decor / crafts.

California Coastal Chic
On a previous post I mentioned that I was going to share a few photos of My Dear friend Chris Cruz’s’ home. Chris’s home is beautifully decorated in a “California Coastal Chic Style.” White shag pillows and pearl seashell pillows create a lovely balance of texture and softness against the silver grey sofa.

Anyhow, I am currently working on a chalkboard project at my home, That I will post a few photos of, as well as a craft project "How To", On Monday Evening.

The Last of The Hydrangeas...
As, the hydrangeas change colors, I cut them and place them in a container of water, and snip the stem just a bit. when I change the water, I also make certain to cut all the leaves off before I place them in the container of water and wait, until the petals dry. I will use them throughout my home, in floral arrangements, Wreaths. Etc...
In the event they do not retain all their color.I purchase a can of floral spray in a nice rich Fall color. And it works out very well. I will share some dried Hydrangea Ideas in a future post.Thursday, August 18, 2011

Dollar tree candles, I purchased 3 of the plain style..
Via Flickr:
Some time ago, while My friend Christine and I, were at the flea market. we found these candles embellished with " an Audry Hepburn motif ", And I thought I would try my rendition of the candles. And share the process with you.
On A Previous Post, I mentioned that I use sheet music , for many Projects...
This is one of the projects . And it is very simple, First I cut along all 4 sides of the sheet, with pinking shears. Decide what Image or Motif you would like to use for your candle, I chose a black rub on transfer for one and a Bird's nest and Cherub for the other 2 candles.
I purchased the Black rub on transfers and the gold monogram stickers at Michaels as well.
Last step, I used hot glue to adhere my trim around the top and bottom of the candle.
