Baby shower invitations

I made these invitations for my sister-in-law's baby shower. I made about 26 little elephants. Carl even helped me get them done. I think they turned out cute!

Picture albums

I don't know why these turned sideways, but you get the gist of it. These were supposed to be for Mother's/Father's Day, but I didn't get them finished until their anniversary (August). I made copies of pictures of us growing up and had each of the sib's write a little note that I tucked in the last page. I had fun making these. Here are a few of the pages from them.

Valentine's book

I made this book for Carl for Valentine's Day. It was so fun to make. It was a little kit from Pebbles in my Pocket.

Some of the inside pages.

Kid's Banks

I made these with paper mache boxes from the local craft store (Roberts). Patterned paper is from Crate Paper, names cut with Cricut diecutting machine. I divided and stamped the sections on the inside so they could match up the lid. Fun project to do. Now....if I could only get them to do their chores to earn some money to put in their bank!

Valentine Cards

Some cards that I'm sending to extended family. I still need to make the ones for my boys.

Gift paint cans

These are fun to make for giving gifts. I usually make baby ones for showers, then the recipient can use them for a little time capsel for the baby.

Chore box

I made this to "inspire" my kids to do chores. They each are supposed to make their bed and clean their toys. Then they pick 2 chores from the box. It's filled with stuff like, vacuum, help with dishes, wipe a door, dust the TV center, ect. So far, Ethan thinks it's fun!

Patterned paper from Imaginisce & Provo Craft. Letters- Scenic Route

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my new blog! I thought I'd have a little place to put anything crafty that I've made or seen. I love to make things to give away, so I rarely have things in my house that I've made. But I like to take pictures of them as reference. I hope you like them!
