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!

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!!!
