purse with gift cards

For all my Facebook friends and family, this is the project that took me two days to do.. between getting phone calls and breaking up fights and oh yeah throw staff in who all need something right then and there.. I absolutely love this paper, I made sure that I used the friendship and love part to add that special something to it!! I filled it with 3x3 gift cards.. Oh, and for all of you that are wondering why I get to do craft things at work. I am a Vocational Program Director, I have 26 mentally challenged individuals who come to work m-f to make items that we sell in our store in front of our program. I have the BEST job in the world!!

stationary box

This was sooooo fun to make! Slegos from SCS made me one similar as a gift for being the first to join her swap.. My "older" sister ;) is hosting a bridal shower for my niece. She asked me to make a couple gifts. this is what I cam up with.. I used 2 12x12 sheets of paper for the box and half of a sheet of 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper.. all the embellishments were extras that I had stuffed in a drawer for a project like this.

a special gift

I have a very good friend who just had surgery on her shoulder. she likes grey goose vodka, I bought her a sample bottle to enjoy sometime while she is recovering. I made the card because she taught me so much in the business that we are in,
I remember many times her sitting down and showing
me who, what & how to do something..
She will forever hold a special place in my heart. I
miss you lots Kath!!

Clothes pins

I wanted to make a gift set and clothes pins where in front of me.. this is what I came up with. patterned paper from TAC, I glued strips of paper then inked the sides. I added magnets to the back. I made a half box to hold them all together. after I packaged them I added a tag with ribbon to say they could be used on a fridge or file cabinet.

pamper cake.

I had so much fun making these cute mini diaper cakes.. they would look great as center piece at a baby shower.. Mommy to be could take them all home at the end..

This is a mini diaper cake, five pampers with a TP roll in the middle. all images cut with the cricut pooh and friends.

altered items

OK, so My BFF stampin_in_atlas aka Jen. brought me a box of 500 envelopes and said "here I found these on Clarence and bought us each a box, I know you can make something with them" They sat next to my desk at work, every time I was on the phone I played with them.. This is what I came up with.. I used lots of scraps and embellishments..

Make a Smilebox greeting

party favors

okay, I had to do something over the top for the favors. We decided to have the girls b-day at Chucky Cheese, I wanted favors to have something to do with cheese and mice. I used my cricut and cut the cake box (tags bags and more) then punched holes with a whole puncher. the mice and party hats are also made with the cricut (doodle charms). I made nine of them to form a cheese wheel.

birthday invitation

who wants ice cream?? I wanted to do something different this year for my girls b-day. I cut the Popsicles with my cricut, I cut a shadow image and used a brad to put them together. I printed the info off the computer and stuck it inside. the boys received the green and girls received the pink.

I have been busy!!

I have been so busy with making 180 wedding invitations with response cards, 50 shower invitations and 10 birthday cards. I have not had much time for anything!! I will post pictures soon.. My family and I went camping again, talk about having fun!! we had about twenty people. the first night it rained a little but thank God no ones tent leaked..
