Christmas Ribbon Wreath…

This ribbon wreath was made by my 8 year old son and I for a craft in his Grade 3 class.

I think it turned out great and it’s so easy to make.

He now has an awesome Christmas wreath hanging in his bedroom!

Sour Cream Christmas Favors…

10 Dec

I spent the afternoon today at my friend’s house making Sour Cream Christmas Favors for the dinner table on Christmas Day.

We always make something cute and yummy for the table for everyone.

These are so simple to make and have been around for a very long time.

Now they will be stuffed with yummy goodness, sealed and we made a cute tag with some twine to put on top.

Painter’s Tray…

24 Oct

I have had this painter’s tray for a very long time than I finally got my butt in gear & worked on it & than all it needed was some pics & a few embellishments & that took me another few months to get! When I started working on my tray last  night there was actually dust accumulated on it!!! but, I love how it turned out & now it is hanging on my wall in the living room.

Cork Board…

09 Sep

I saw this project on the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog found here & said that’s what I need to make!

Now that my kid’s are in different schools I thought I could make them each one so I can sort out all the paperwork that comes home from school.

The first one I made for my daughter & we have hung it in the kitchen, now I just need to make one for my son.

I absolutely love these Bo Bunny albums, I just love that their paper packs are already cut for you to fit the chipboard album, it makes it soooo easy. This is the Jazmyne Collection. Gorgeous, gorgeous paper!

I “borrowed some” inspiration from the Bo Bunny Blog.

I made this album for me to have memories of all the fun & memorable scrapbooking times I’ve had together with these 3 ladies.

The times that we spend scrapbooking are very meaningful to me & special.

One of the big events we go to is Scrapbook Your Heart, so they are first in the album, than some other times we have spent together & I even have a page left to scrapbook next year’s Scrapbook Your Heart Retreat.
