Recipe Mini I made

Hey everyone just wanted to share a project I made for my friend!
It was fun to make I used four by six recipe cards as my starting point and inspiration!

here are a few pics! I hope you like it!

This is the front cover I wanted to add a little masculinity to it and a bit of each of the family! I had a blast coming up with a design plan for this mini!

Here is the first page I decorated the inside cover with small removable tags she can add titles or whatever she likes and the insert itself is a recipe card!

Here is a close up of the inside cover! 

Every other page has a pocket on the back to store loose recipes hand written or pulled from a paper or magazine! The other pages have a butterfly with a tag, recipes will slip behind the butterfly as well.

This is the back of the album! I really think it turned out pretty cute! I am so happy that Daniela likes it!

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and wonderful winter break!

crochet tree

I wanted to try something a bit different this year...here is what I came up with!

A crochet Christmas tree! I even made garland and a star topper!

Here is a close up of the top! 

The inside is hollow so it could be slide on a n air freshener or a bottle and it would also be a great earring organizer or display. 

Would love to hear your thoughts! 

Happy Holidays!

Crochet animal the king!

I made this cute little critter for my friends Daughter! I happen to know that she loves Lions! So  I decided to make up a new pattern.
I do not trade, share or sell my patterns (sorry) If you are interested I do take custom orders.

I had a fun time creating this little bugger! I love to crochet but nothing is better then the smile from those that receive a handmade item. The best is seeing a child love them up! My kids are older now but they still love my handmade animals and items.

I really hope the little one loves it to pieces! After all that is what it is meant for! Well, enough of my blabbing! lol

Here is the cutie I made!

And there you have it all three cuties are finished! 

Candy Wreath

Here is a wreath that I put together last night. I found some candy canes at the Dollar store that were cheap. I wanted to make some holiday decor that was a little different, and this is what I did!

It was super fast to make and turned out pretty nice.

Sorry about the lighting it was dark and I really wanted to get the picture taken before my camera died, lol!

I used watermelon candy canes so they were red and green and used some cardboard and scrappapers and a sticker in the center then I added some bling around the inner circle. Around the candy canes I added some ribbon and alternated with red foam present stickers that are glittered.

A pretty quick project to make and it looks cute on the wall!

Hope you all like it!

a decorated gift box

I wanted to send a little something to my son for x mas since he was spending it with his dad. He didn't want me to send the bigger gifts so they will be waiting  here for him when he comes back!

I wanted to make it a little special so I decorated all the flaps and put notes on all the goodies inside! I had to leave a couple unwrapped because they wouldn't fit inside if they were.

It was so much fun and I got to use up some scraps in the process! ;0) If I have time all my packages will be sent like this...I am going to try but I make no promises..lol

Well here is what i did!

The completed box with all the yummy goodies!

A close up of all the yumminess! lol you can see all the little notes attached to each item! My son said that he really loved all the notes attached, that it really was the best. What can I say we work wonders for our children! lol

Here is the left flap! I used scrap papers mostly DCWV winter stack some images I had colored up! The bottom one in blue my daughter drew! The winter piece is a cut from my cricut.

Here is the top flap! I think it turned out cute! Again scraps and colored images plus each flap I add some tags if you follow them in order they tell a shortened reworked Christmas story! Twas the night before Christmas. 

This is the bottom flap! I think this one may just be my favorite flap! Love it!

And here is the last flap the right side! Here the story ends and We have written a holiday message for him! 

All in all instead of a card, the flaps do all the work! I really am happy with how this turned out!

This package will take him quite awhile to get through! It is packed full and messages on each one! I can not wait to hear from him! We may even facetime/skype while he opens it! lol That may be a long call! haha

I hope you all like it and it gives you some inspiration to dress up your packages to add that special touch! Happy Holidays Everyone!
