Felt Flare.

I found this little lovely at Target last night whilst spending a gift card
I received for my birthday. It was love at first sight.
An autumn-y print of birds and flowers with a combination of odd colors...

I brought it home with me, but it was missing something.
So I added my own special touch of felt flare.
My wool felts in exact coordinating colors made
the perfect mommy brooch for my "new baby".

I will enjoy the simple luxury of being able to carry my own purse
once in awhile rather than a diaper bag in tow.

Check out my mommy brooches available! More coming soon!

From My Customers.

I've recently added a new page to my boutique to share feedback I've received from my customers about their experiences with my products!
Here's the first of {hopefully} many!

“I purchased a little birdie onsie from Colorful Kisses as a baby shower gift. It arrived very quickly, within a few days, and arrived wrapped in cute tissue paper. The design was adorable. It was a huge it at the shower, getting lots of oohs and aaahs. I will definitely purchase again from Colorful Kisses!” ~ Candy

If you have purchased my product online or at local boutiques, I'd love to hear from you as well! Please feel free to e-mail me at colorfulkisses {at} gmail {dot} com.
Thank you!

Berry Forest Paintings - Destash Goodies.

These cheerful paintings were created on a whim!

I thought they’d hang nicely in my daughter’s playroom but
we’ve since moved furniture and haven’t the wall space.

The set of 3 Berry Forest Acrylic paintings include
one Owl on Branch, Strawberry Pair, and Mushroom. They are originals!

This set is up for grabs in my Destash Goodies room!

How To Make Your Own Pretty Pinches

These papered clothespins, or "Pretty Pinches" are a simple, darling project great for gift giving!

Use Pretty Pinches in your kitchen to keep opened bags sealed, pinch bundles of papers together in your office, or adhere magnets to the backs of your Pretty Pinches to make cute magnets for your fridge to display your child's artwork! Pretty Pinches also make beautiful gift toppers!

the how-to...

1. Cut TWO 3/8 inchs strips of each paper design, from the 3 1/2 inch paper strips
2. Give one side of the clothespin a light coat of Mod Podge and adhere a paper strip
3. Press the paper strip firmly down on the clothespin
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the opposite side of clothespin
