First up, cards. I made all these using the "Wild Card" cartridge for my cricut (highly recommend that cart, it is really fun):
This one was for my Mom:
This one was for Bryan's Mom:
And these next two were for Bryan's Grandmothers:
We went to dinner at Bryan's Uncle's house, and for that I made brownie pops! Both delicious and adorable! I used this recipe for the brownies, then cut them into small brownie sizes and rolled each into a little ball. Then I dropped a ball in the chocolate ganache (from that recipe - it says to pour it on top, I skipped that so I could cover them at this point), shoved a lollipop stick in them, and propped them up in some styrofoam to solidify:
Then I decorated them with nuts, sprinkles, colored chocolate, or peanut butter, and put them in the lovely little structure I made (I used cardstock for the box base then wrapped ribbon around it and used my cricut to cut out some flowers. Then I painted a sytrofoam cone purple for the pops to be stuck in):
And then I wrapped the whole sucker up in plastic wrap for the trip to Byran's uncle's house. They were a huge hit!
And, because I have the best fiance ever, my babies (aka my dogs and cats) got me this lovely Mommy Day present:
I love pearls, and I absolutely adore this ring! Most definitely wearing it when we get married!
Did you do anything special for Mother's Day?
Aww, I love those cards and the brownie pop holder, and that ring is beautiful! I think I need to find one just like it. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ring!! I love the setting. And OMG how cute are those cards - I think I need lessons on how to use my Cricut to its best potential :)
