My new Niece-to-be!

These are the diaper cakes, decorations, and party favors I made for my sister's baby shower. I really love these cakes. She still hasn't taken it apart!






Here are the small dollar candles from Walmart. Wrap it in a flower and it's an instant gift!




Here is the purse that I made into a manicure kit. I got the svg file from Denise at Paper Pastime. She is amazing! Please go visit her site!

Happy Birthday To You....

I got the idea from a friend at work to make a first birthday hat. The cone of the hat is actually a really cool wine bag that I got on discount at Walmart. The bag had lace over it. I actually made two hats out of one bag. This is probably my favorite craft I've made.

Getting crafty with Valentine's Day

It's not the easiest to walk into a store and find your man something for Valentine's Day that isn't cheesy and typical. So, this Vday I decided to get crafty. I made my man an "I love you because" blow pop flower bouquet. It's so easy to make, it's cheap, but it shows how much you care for your valentine. Each leaf has a different reason written on it explaining the reasons why I love him. This idea is so cute that I might adapt it for different holidays. I also made a homemade card, LOVE it! What do you think???







I used ten lollipops to create this and it was the perfect amount. I got the little tin from Walmart for $1.50, picked up the styrofoam green thing for about $1.00, four 12x12 sheets of paper and some scrap ribbon! Very cheap but awesome! Oh yeah, and the blow pops, of course!

It's ScrapTime!

I got this clock from my sister-in-law a few years ago and I thought that it needed a little face lift. I love how it turned out :)

Baby name collage

While browsing some of my favorite bloggers, I stumbled upon Amy's lovely baby name collages. They were so cute and I just HAD to try to do one for my niece-to-be. Since I couldn't find a 21" x 9" shadow box like Amy used, I created a 12" x 12" one.

Here is the link to her blog. Thanks for the inspiration Amy!

Shower invitation



It's funny that most of my posts have had something to do with babies and baby showers. Anyway, here's an invitation that I made for a friend's shower. I used my cricut expression, vellum paper, my printer, a decorative punch, and some ribbon.

Delicious Diaper Cakes...






I have made several diaper cakes for friends and relatives for their baby showers. I love EVERY minute of making these. They are just too fun! I've sold a couple and would love to make and sell more!!!

My scrapbooking paradise







After spending years scrapbooking in every corner possible and not really having a space of my own, I finally have my scraping paradise! My hubby and I built my new desk and shelves for my craft room. So excited to have a space of my own!

Dress baby shower favor




I created this for my sister-in-law's sister's baby shower. It was my first go at creating an svg file for my cricut (using SCAL). I thought it turned out really cute!! What do you think?
