Encouragement Card


Hi!
This is a pinwheel card that I made for a very close friend, who also works in childcare! Working with children is an rewarding experience and at times, it can be a little challenging. I thought of her today and decided to make her an encouragement card. I pray she likes it. I watched a video on how to make it. It was very simple and fun to make. Carts used: Plantin Schoolbook; as well as cuttlebug and stamps. This technique was different for me, it's like a post card; flip it over and the Footprints is on the back. The base is 5.5x5.5!
this is the site for video: stamperdog.com
Thanks for looking!

Fancy Hat Handbag!

Hello! TGIF
This is the 1st project I've done this week. It's for my pastors' mother. Her birthday is today. She's a beautiful virtuous woman of God. She's always smiling and she loves her hats and small handbabgs, that shine! So I made this for her. Carts used: Plantin Schooolbook and Forever Young (I love this cart). I also used my cuttlebug. Inside are some note cards with stamped scriptures. It was a lot of fun making this. Thanks for looking.

Valentine Gifts

Hi! This is another project I've been working on, to give to the teenagers & ladies at church for Valentines day! Over on the Cricut MB there are these cute little cupcakes floating around and they are made out of socks! I know, I was surprised to! I got this idea from greenbean, thank you! Very simple and fun to make! These would make great gifts for any occasion! I put a lollipop as my "cherry"! For the holder, I don't have the Easter cart nor DS, so it took a lot of trial and error! Put them in the clear bags w/a tag and they are all ready to be worn! Cart used: Tags, Bags, Boxes & more


This one is going to the adult ladies at church! {I love making things for people, the smiles mean a lot to me!} I was searching the Internet for craft ideas and saw a lollipop candle. I had these flower pots, so I decided to make candle flowers! Very simple & cute!

Birthday Card & LO Gift

Hello! What a week this has been! I thank God for keeping me. This week hasn't been easy, BUT it's been worth it! Ive been working on a lot of projects this week, on top of my regular responsibilities! This 1st one is a card for one of my daycare babies who turned the BIG 2 over the weekend! Carts used: Doodlecharms & Plantin Schoolbook (?). This 2nd project is for my father's birthday! I wanted to send something different with the card I made (I forgot to take a picture of & it's off to CA)! I did a LO of us zip lining at the Wild Animal Zoo for Christmas. This was so much fun, I'm ready to do it again! Carts used: Animal Kingdom, Everyday Paper Dolls & Jasmine
