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!

Gift Card Holders / Goodbye Cards

Quite a few people left our school this year, and it is our tradition to give them a little gift to thank them for all they've done. Each person was given a $20 Starbucks gift card. I was assigned to make cards for them, and this is what I did.

I had to make 15 of them so I wanted something easy but beautiful at the same time. I got the idea from this video on Youtube. Luckily I had a lot of double-sided paper to use. They were done in no time!

Another Hello Kitty card...

Here's another Hello Kitty card that I made for one of my daughter's friends. It's a fairly simple one using a HK sticker, my Martha Stewart punches,Spellbinder dies, red cardstock, red polka dot paper and some bling. Love it!!!

3x3 Cards

I LOVE making 3x3 cards. They're fun and easy, and they were bestsellers at my last craft fair. That's why I am making tons of them right now. Here's one of my favorites...




I know I got the sticker and the ribbon from Michael's, but I forgot where I got the cherry paper. It was from a stash of old papers that I have.

Here's another one...LOVE the little ducky!!!



The ducky sticker is from Hobby Lobby.

Okay, got to go to make some more cards!!!!

Name Card and Purse

I know...it's been a while since I posted. There's just been a lot going on at home and at work so it's hard to find time to update my blog. I am hoping that with summer coming I can post more regularly.

Anyway about a month ago I made a card for one of my daughter's friends, Ella. Ella loves hot pink and a lot of bling so I decided to use those for her card. I think the accent of the zebra print worked as well.




Here's another picture...




Then I REALLY got into it and created this purse to put the card in. I got the idea from this video from Youtube.




This is not usually my style but I must say that I had a lot of fun creating these projects.

Till next time!!!

Hello Kitty...

I've always been a BIG hello Kitty fan ever since she came out. I remember saving my allowance so that I can buy different HK items like pencils, erasers, wallets, pencil cases, stationery, plush toys, etc. Now that I have daughters we share the same love for her and make it a point to go to the HK store every time we go to the mall.

I made this card for my daughter's friend who is also a huge HK fan. I got the idea from Beate from Splitcoast Stampers.



I will be a Hello Kitty fan FOREVER!!!

I'm back...

I know it's been a while since I've blogged - it's been crazy busy in school and at home. It doesn't mean though that I haven't been crafting. I still try to squeeze in a few minutes a day to do something crafty, or at least organize my craft room and figure out what my next project is going to be.

Today I want to share a couple of things that I did for a friend's baby shower. She is having a baby girl. I have always loved the pink and brown combination for cards, so I decided to use these colors for her shower favors. I like the idea of using Hershey nuggets for favors and gifts, and there's a ton of ideas on the internet on what to do with them. I used some ideas of my own for these...

I love my polka dot stamps from Papertrey Ink. They are very useful for different kinds of projects.

The gifts that I got her are in pink and green, so I made the card in those colors as well.

I've always wanted to make a baby carriage card, so I did. I got my inspiration from this website. I think she did a fantastic job with her card!

I hope I can blog more regularly after this....TTFN!
