Chip board books

I made these for my friend Janet.  I'm pleased with the way these turned out!

The one for "Jake" is for a high school graduate, the "best wishes" book is for a western themed wedding.

End of the school year treats

Barely got to this project put together...thanks for Emi {almost 5 year old} she pulled through as always to help me finish up these goodie bags for her friends.  We put a few laffy taffy's in each cellophane bag and tied it off with orange baker's twine.

Calendar central

I collected frames in hopes to have a wall like this for quite some time...I was inspired by a "command center" that I saw on Pinterest.  I hung up the frames a few months ago {even though I had not filled all the frames} ... then I finally got around to completing the top frame with family pictures and quotes.  

I also found bucket list template so perfect to go in this spot!  

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Sharpies and a drink jar...thank you Children's Garden teachers and staff!

Laurie's {March} Workshop

Thanks so much for hosting in your lovely new home Laurie!  

We had a great morning making these cards and projects together.

3 cards and 2 projects {bottle cap magnets and a gift bag}

Card 1

Card 2

Card 3

This gift bag is so easy to make.  The base of the gift bag takes
just one 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper.
The top is a 4 x6 piece of paper folded in half.

Another angle.

To make this box you need one 12 x 12 paper
Score at 3 inches and 9 inches then rotate the paper once
and score at 5 inches and 7 inches.

Then fold and crease your paper at each score line.

I tried to highlight the score/folded lines with a black marker line.
After all the score lines have been folded you want to fold a triangle corner as shown in above picture. 

Here is a closer look, you do this to each corner (4 times).

Then you will see the box take it's shape.  I used a clip to hold the sides together. 

When every side is folded you want to run adhesive on the edges to secure the box.
Hopefully these pictures and steps will help you jog your memory from making this box at Laurie's.  

Stay tuned for the next workshop.  I am hoping to have some more cards and projects to share with you in May!  Thank you Kerry for offering to host!

Magnet Board

Sometimes I see ideas and I sit on them for a long time because I don't have all the supplies I need just yet.  Finally I rounded everything up {metal flashing from Home Depot, bottle caps, magnets, and Stampin' Up! crystal effects} I also used yellow flower eyelets that I have had forever around the holes that the red ribbon is threaded through.  I love the pattern of this one!
