Thank You Teacher Stockings

Toryn has wonderful teachers at her preschool and I wanted to show our love and appreciation to them so I made these cute stocking gift holders. 





I had a blast making these fast and easy stockings! I used the Stampin' Up! Holiday Stocking Die and cut out the stocking pieces with Cherry Cobbler Red and Silver Glimmer Paper. I attached a cute stamped sentiment and tied it off with a bow. I can't wait to have Toryn hand them to her teachers!

Welcome Baby!

Here is a cute little card I made for one of my card swaps. The theme was "Baby". I love making cards that are nice and "fat". Lots of ribbon and buttons means I have to mail in a padded envelope or hand deliver it. But way worth it!

Christmas Stationary

Last year I made several of these cute holiday stationary 4-packs. I included envelopes and gave them for gifts and to sell at various boutiques. This is a great and easy way to make a heartfelt and handmade gift for those you love - and they make great stocking stuffers too!


Recipe:
Pick any designer paper that has cute images on it and punch out with a 1 1/4" circle punch. 
Punch out coordinating paper to go behind it with your 1 3/8" punch. 
Then use your 1 3/4" scallop circle punch to punch out matching paper. 
Adhere on top of each other to get your layered look. 
Cut your colored cardstock base at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and your white or cream cardstock at 5 1/4" x 4".
Adhere your scalloped image to the top and adorn with an appropriate greeting.

DONE! You can whip these out in bulk to get some cute gifts out of the way AND have fun while making them!!




To order any of these punches (and I PROMISE you - you will use the heck out of them!) please click on my website below!

Welcome Home

A friend of mine moved into their very first home and I made this to card to include with her house warming gift. The houses are digital images I purchased on www.etsy.com. You can find ANYTHING hand made or personally created. Most sellers on ETSY are Stay-At-Home-Moms and are amazingly talented. This is where I go to first for unique and thoughtful gifts. Anyway - here's my Welcome Home card. Enjoy!

Pines and Poinsettias

I decided to put my fancy pants on and make this chic little card with one of my favorite stamp sets this season called Pines and Poinsettias. I know it's very busy but sometimes more is good, right?

 I added a cute coordinating gift box too. Perfect for little chocolates, jewelry, a gift card or anything special. Lift the lid and a little treasure waits inside!

Both were made out Stampin' Up!'s Holly Berry Bouquet Suite.



You can make this too! Visit my website for all these beautiful products!

Breaking Dawn

Yes. I am one of those. I LOVE the Twilight Series and tonight is the opening night of the movie Breaking Dawn! Through a charity fund raiser in Santa Barbara I am able to see it at 8pm tonight instead of the normal midnight showing. I'm flying down to Santa Barbara to meet up with my friends, go to dinner and see the movie! I made these super cute little treat bags/favors to pass out to my friends. I made 9 in different styles.




I loved working with these colors! So elegant, dark and sexy.
I used the Fancy Favors Die from Stampin' Up to put these together!

Big Sister Scrapbook Page Layout

Ok so I am forever working on my childrens' scrapbooks - My daughter is almost 4 and I've only just started on hers. My poor baby boy won't get his until he's old and gray at the rate I'm going. BUT I did manage to put this cute 2-page layout together. I love how it turned out. I managed to make the little owl, bee and ladybug out of punches - to match the paper! 


I don't work on my scrapbooks as often as I'd like - just so many other things to make! So when I DO get around to working on some pages - I like to say "Scrappin' did Happen"!!

If you want scrappin' to happen too - check out all the awesome products to help make your scrapbook pages amazing!
