More name cards...

Here are two other name cards that I've done for my daughters' friends. It has become sort of a tradition for me to make these cards for their friends.

Here's one for Ashley......


...and one for Ali.


I love playing with patterns and colors for these cards. of course, I couldn't create all these letters without my trusty Cricut machine. That machine is so useful for projects like these!

Tea time!

I found a picture of these tea tins that I made a while back to give as Christmas gifts for my friends. It gave me an idea of another item I can do for some upcoming craft fairs this fall. They're pretty simple to make - I just put a band around tin containers using some designer paper, added some ribbon and a stamp of a teacup that I found at Joann's.


I get my tin containers from this website. I get the rectangular ones which are $1.04 each. The price is pretty reasonable and the shipping is not too bad either. I got this info from Kerry's Paper Crafts. Kerry's an awesome crafter. You should check out her site if you haven't done so. I get so many ideas from her blog.

Baby Shower Gift

I made this baby shower gift for my daughter's teacher who is expecting a baby girl.


I got some burp towels from Target and decided to put them inside this bucket from Michael's. I decorated it with some pink and green trim that I got from Joann's, plus some ribbon and ribbon flowers. I made the ribbon flowers myself, using regular pink polka dot ribbon, then I sewed on a green button in the middle. I love how this gift turned out!

First Birthday Party Favors

Wow! Two posts in one day!!!

These are party favors that I made for a friend's son for his first birthday. I love using milk cartons for favors, gifts, anything! I filled them with candies and small toys. I know that there are different templates out there for milk cartons, but I made this one myself. It's a bit of a pain to cut each one, but I love how they turned out.


Watch for more milk cartons in my future posts!!!

Volleyball Team Treats

I made these a while back for my daughter's volleyball team. They didn't make it to the championship, but the girls worked very hard and their skills have improved a lot. I wanted to give each girl a little treat to show that I appreciate their efforts and hard work.


I got the clothespin idea from one of my favorite blogs, JadeMingmei Designs. I think Dawn is very talented, and I love her style. Hope you guys enjoy these too!
