You Can't Catch Me!

Looking for a fun Christmas activity for the kids?  Last Christmas Eve I made up a little 'Gingerbread Man Treasure Hunt' for Ashlee and she loved it, so I am excited about doing another one this year.

After decorating some yummy Gingerbread Men, Ashlee gets to choose which one she's going to eat...

Oh no!!! The Gingerbread Man is gone leaving a clue in its' place...

This next clue is hidden under an easy to make scratch-off panel.   Just stick a piece of sticky backed plastic (contact paper) over the clue then paint it with a couple of layers of acrylic paint mixed with a little dish soap (2:1) then let it dry!


I drew this clue using a wax candle.  Just color with watercolor paint to reveal...Magic!!!

Hurry and eat him before he takes off again!!!

If you want to have your own Gingerbread Man Hunt, just download clue cards here and write your own clues or you can use mine!

{New in the Shop} Cupcake Party


I’m so excited to share my sweet CUPCAKE PARTY collection with you!  A cupcake themed birthday celebration is sure to make everyone smile.  Kids love creating their own cupcake masterpieces and snacking on them along the way.


I designed all of the paper goods using a fun cupcake graphic along with an aqua green, pink, pale blue and purple color palette.  A classic gingham pattern teamed with polka dots work together to create a fun, modern feel.







The new Cupcake Party Collection is available in My Shop!
