Happy Birthday MOM! (part 3)

What you see here is a stationery box..another one for Mom! :o) this box opens up to reveal a whole bunch of goodies! Inside you will find: 8 - cards & envelopes 8 - gift tags 4 - gift card holders post-it pad & pen ...and my favorite part is that everything coordinates with each other!!! This box was done with a Birthday theme, but I can make an assortment of sentiments, or just make pretty cards and leave the sentiment up to you!

Happy Birthday MOM! (part 2)

Have a Bouquet Day! :o)

These are just a few of the paper flower bouquets I have made. The first was a Valentine's Day gift for Mom, it was made with a wooden flower pot that I covered with paints and paper. The second was our Easter dinner table centerpiece, it was made in a clay flowerpot...I painted the grass & bunnies on it. The last was our Thanksgiving dinner table centerpiece, I was was inspired to make these flowers by some real lillies my husband had given me.

Shadow Lamps

These lamps are made by placing vinyl on the inside of the shade so when you turn on the light the image shows through.

This is a wooden letter with a hook attached that hangs on the wall. I altered it with paper and paints just for mom!

Skunk Binder

Here is a 3 ring binder I decorated for a childs birthday gift. The skunk is one of her favorite animals, but these can be done with almost anything. There are LOTS of different animals I can do(just ask), or flowers, trees, birds, NAMES of course...or if you have something in mind...let me know and I know I can work it out!

Door Signs

These are door signs made from a wooden mini shelf. The first one I made as a special thank you gift. The second was ordered by one of my Aunts, as well as a BEACH themed one! (keep an eye out for that!) These can be done many ways. I can change the colors, wording, or even theme!!!

Welcome to my world!

It is so funny to think a little over a year ago I had one tote bag of "stuff" & was using my side of the bed as a table...as soon as I got my cricut that was all over!!! Here it is..my AWESOME workspace!! It may not be big, but its fun-filled with everything & more that I need to create! Stop in & play anytime! Welcome to my world *my brand new blog* where I will be posting my projects, items I will be selling, and eventually some videos showing the step by step process for special projects. :o) Sounds like fun, eh?! Thanks for stopping by & be sure to tell your friends! ps. my claim is crafter...not photographer...sorry for the blurry pics. :o)
