In honor of Paper Sweeties‘ third birthday, some of us on the Pink & Main Design Team have created birthday-themed projects to join in their blog hop.

Custom Etched Wedding Frame
A couple that is very special to me recently got married in my hometown…and being the uber-pregnant lady that I am right now, I was unable to travel all the way there to attend. In an attempt to make up for my absence, I wanted to give them an extra-special personalized gift. The theme was […]
Treasure Chest Treat Boxes
Hi again! I’m back today with some treat box party favors I made recently for a little one’s pirate-themed birthday party.

With the first day of Spring behind us and Easter just around the corner, I decided to use my one of my favorite techniques this week to create a quick and pretty flower vase etched with a beautiful basket-weave pattern. To add interest and a little something different, this time I painted the inside of […]
