Welcome to the Candy Hearts Blog Hop for April 2020! This month we are featuring projects for Mother’s Day. I wanted to make something that reflects this particular Mother’s Day, during the COVID 19 pandemic. That’s when I decided on the sweet little pig from the This Little Piggy stamp set, because I had seen someone else put a mask on her/him, and I thought it was just adorable. I took the colors from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper I used for the background layer: Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Whisper White. Be sure to hop around to all the stops, because you don’t want to miss any of the great projects from the Candy Hearts! I can’t wait to see what they share!

It’s time for the March APPT Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called No Matter the Weather and it’s designed to make 12 sweet weather themed cards. It also came with an extra stamp set called Spring Splash. Today we are sharing alternate projects made with this kit. I can’t wait to see what everyone on the hop has created!
I decided to make a card and an open top gift box for a friend. The current situation in the world makes almost all of us need a little boost. I want my friend to know I’m there for her…with a bottle of hand soap (you can barely see the top of the pump bottle amongst the tissue paper.)
