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