The People of Las Vegas Flip Album

Hi there, I wanted to share this flip album that I made for my mom for her birthday. My mom LOVES Las Vegas, and these are pictures from one of her recent trips to Las Vegas. One of her favorite things about the city are all the street people! I put all the pictures in a flip album and titled it "The People of Las Vegas." She loved it!

I've made this type of flip album before, here is the link to a previous post where I made another one. These are so quick, fun and easy to make!

Have a great week!

Monogrammed Card Sets

Hi, Hope you had a wonderful holiday! Mine was wonderful. Got to visit family and friends, can't ask for any more than that!

I made some monogrammed card sets for my co-workers this year. I made the A-2 box that they're in, with the pattern from SplitcoastStampers website. The monogram stamps are from Just Rite. I love their stamps! The paper is leftover from my brother's wedding invitations! I am glad to be using it up.

Hope you have a wonderful New Year! I'm off to Pittsburgh to watch the Capitals in the Winter Classic outdoor hockey game.

Purses

I got the pattern to make these cute little purses from this blog. Aren't they so cute? I made them to send to my brother's wife's sisters. I met them for the first time at the wedding, and they were so nice & welcoming to our family. I filled them with some mints and closed them with some velcro tape. They are pretty small, I was thinking they might be good to hold a gift card. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

It's a Zoo!

Hi there, this is a door hanger that I made for an embossing swap. I had a hard time coming up with a theme for it, and I looked around my craft room and was inspired to make this! Trust me, it is a total zoo in my craft room right now!! Haven't had time to clean up after being out of town for my brother's wedding. I am in the midst of some fun projects and also trying to clean out and get rid of a lot of stuff. I used Lasting Impressions templates for the animals, their frames and the words. All of the paper is by Lasting Impressions too. I used several sheets of cardstock (4? I can't remember) to make the strong backing for the door hanger. Hope you are having a great summer!

Wedding Time

It's finally time for my brother's wedding! Seems not that long ago that I was working on sample invitations and making save the date cards. Since my gift to them was the save the date cards and invitations, I am not giving them a huge gift. I made this canvas wall hanging for them. It's made from a Quick Quotes kit that I found at a Scrapbook Convention that I attended last month. Super easy and quick to put together. I ordered the picture of them from the photographer that did their engagement photos. The die cut tree and all the other pieces came with the kit. I'll be away for a few days, hope you have a great weekend!

Perpetual Birthday Calendar

I made this perpetual birthday calendar a LONG time ago. Probably 2 years ago. I just found it in my stash of cards and gifts that I've made, and decided I guess I can part with it. I gave it to a friend of mine last week. She loved it. It's the perfect size to keep in your purse. The dates were printed on my computer and just layered with cardstock to make it a little rigid. Everything else (flowers, words) are die cut. I hand wrote the word calendar on the front. Hope you have a great weekend!

Mother's Day

This is the gift I sent to my Mom for Mother's Day this year. I found the pattern for the wheelbarrow at this blog. The wheelbarrow is bigger than I thought it would be. I was planning to put a gift card in it, but it just looked silly with all the empty space. I found some large flower seed packets at Home Depot and put them in the wheelbarrow instead. I made a card to go along with it that looks like flowers in a flower pot. I put the gift card in that instead. There are lots of blogs that have directions to make the flower pot card, but I can't remember which blog I got the directions from. The flowers are dry embossed using a Lasting Impressions template. Hope you have a great Mother's Day weekend!
