Christmas Cards SOLD OUT!

Here are the Christmas cards I made for 2009. I sold out of them all! Wow! What a great first year of business.

Altoid Mini Scrapbook

My aunt Terry gave me a bunch of Altoid mint tins. So I decided to paint them and decorate the outside. For the inside I made a Mini Scrapbook with pictures of my son. Check them out!

Christmas Ornaments

This Ornament was a great present to give out. I purchased the ornaments at hobby lobby and added the photo and paper as a background. I also used a tree shaped push to make all the confetti. The flowers and string I had already.

Marble Magnets

I made these Marble Magnets for my family as a Christmas present. It is really easy to make and you can also give them out to men. Just put a sport team or something they enjoy as the background.

Mom's Birthday Gift

Another Recipe Box and matching Birthday Card. This one is for my mom. I used brown and tan because it goes with the decor feel in her home.

Halloween Tags

Making Tags are so easy! I just use the left over paper from my cards and then use the Circuit to cut out the Tag shape and decorate with flowers, ribbon, stickers and fibers. These can also be used as Book Marks, Bag Tags, Thank you notes or you can even attach it to a glass. I think its a great way to decorate your table.

Halloween Cards

Here are some Halloween Cards that I made with some really fun paper that I bought at Target in the dollar bin. I wanted these to have more texture to them so I used foam stickers, stitching, flowers, ribbon, fibers and other embellishments that gave me the results below. If you have a question about any of them please ask.

You Rock Cards

I had to make some You Rock Cards. They were really fun to make with the glitter paper for the background.

Grandmother's Birthday Gift

So every year I make something handmade for all the women's birthday that are in my family. This year is all about Recipe Box's. I purchased a tin box and decorated the outside with paper, ribbon, stickers, flowers and gems. The inside has dividers, that I have attached ribbon to the tops. The paper used on this one I really like because it has cookies, oven mitts and other items you can find in a kitchen.
Happy Birthday Card, was really easy to make and I like the simplicity to it.

Men Birthday Cards

Here are two cards I made for a man or boy. I have a few men relatives with September birthday's so I thought I would make them cards.

Cards

Just Because Card was easy to make and I really like the outcome of the it. I also love the way how the stamp looks.


Get Well Soon Card with flowers and brad.

Birthday Cards

Just some birthday cards I have made. I really really like to use a color for the card and layer it with pattern paper.

Summer's Baby Shower

Here are some items I made for my cousin Summer’s baby shower. She is having a girl so I was very excited to be helping out with this shower. So I have made items for both boy and girl showers this summer. I was in charge of games for this event and I had a lot of fun dressing them up.

This card was easy and fun to make. I used my circut machine to cut out the stroller and layered it. I also curved the edges to give it a softer feel.
First Diaper Cake I have ever made. I will say that it was easy to put together but the one thing that I forgot to do was glue the bottle in the inside of the cake down to the board. So the cake was sliding around when I was caring it. I am still happy about how it turned out and I can't wait to make another one!
I had to make her a Flowered sign in pen!

Here are the jars I dressed up for the Guess the Baby Food Game. I used paper and paint to give them a fun look that matched the other items.

I also dresser up these diapers that match the jars. This was for the guess what kind of Chocolate bars are in the Diapers.

Samuel's 3rd Birthday

This year I decided to make everything for my sons 3rd birthday. He picked Blue's Clues for the theme so I used a lot of blue. It was so much fun making all of these items for the party and I found it so worth it because I think all the children had a blast.

Here is the invitation I made. I used basic blue paper for the background and I used my cuttle bug to emboss the circle pattern on it. The Blues Clues picture was found on google search and I used my circut to cut out the party hat. The ribbon was stapled on the "you're invited" tag.
I love making things with Terracotta pots as most of you may know. You can view another pot I decorated for my cousin Catherine's Baby Shower below. This one was easy and fun because i was able to find all these characters from the Blues Clues show at nickjr.com. All I did was printed them out, cut them out and glued them to the stems.

This is made out of a tissue box that my son and I painted and add the face and dots. On the buttom I glued cut up toilet paper roll to make the legs and on top just cut a square hole so you could place your thoughts into for the birthday boy to read after the party.

I just had to make another pen.

Blues Clues Cake was a lot of fun to make! If you want details please ask but It is a lot to explain so I am going to give out a short version. I used 2 cake box mixes with lots of blue died vanilla icing. It was pretty easy to make it just took about a day to make, working on it off and on.

This is my son Samuel wearing the Blues Clues Ears I made for all the children. I think that he had a good time!

This is the goody bag with the hand made ears, games, color sheets, handy dandy note book, book mark, stickers, crayon, and of course I decorated the bags.
