Purse Gift Card Holders

This was another special order item. They wanted a gift card purse in purple and aqua. This is as close as I could get. I usually do tab closures so they are easy to slip open and insert the gift card. Though not shown here, I did put tab closures on them.

These are made using a 6 x 6 piece of designer series papers. Stampin' Up! paper is double-sided. I added a few jewels to dress them up. I normally stamp a sentiment; however, this was not specified so I left blank in case they wanted to write the names on them.

Another suggestion, I usually hang these on a Christmas Tree and suggest having the person look for their gift. They don't know what they are looking for so it may take a while. Adds a little fun to the holiday cheer.

These also fold flat for easy mailing so if you'd like to special order a few for birthdays or just because, be sure to let me know.

Chinese Takeout Box

It's been a long time since someone asked for a Chinese takeout container. But a special order requires me to pull my resources together and work my magic. I pulled out my Cricut and tried several different versions. I liked this one the best. When making these, do NOT use the thick cardstock. Makes it very challenging to fold.

This week has been challenging with pain radiating down my left leg. I cannot sit too long, nor stand too long. But crafting does help take my mind off the pain.

Moving Van and Gingerbread Men

Today's share are two more items created for a special order. The U-haul van is a money holder and I did use my Cricut to cut both of these projects. I searched high and low for my googly eyes and finally found some. The next day, I was searching for the jewels and found three more packages of googly eyes! One can never have too many!

Let me know what you think of these cute projects.

Gas Can Gift Card Holders

Today's share is part of a custom order. Someone wanted gas can gift card holders. One recipient had a black vehicle and the other a silver one. Inside is a pocket to hold the gift card as well as a space to write their message.

I pulled out my Cricut to see what images were available. I love how these turned out! Be sure to drop me a note if you need anything special created!

Happy Thanksgiving

I wish you all a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.  I'm grateful for each day I am able to get up and see God's handiwork.  I live in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and the beauty is all around us.  Take time today to see the beauty around you. 

From my home to yours, Happy Thanksgiving,

Hawaii

Just a quick post as I've got to run to dr appointment. Here are a few pages from my Hawaii scrapbook. This is made completely from scratch using chipboard, cardstock and designer series papers. I designed this after assembling a kit from Easy Peasy Scrapbooks on Facebook.

There are lots more pages and waterfalls. This book is very special since my husband was told he had 6 months to live. We took 7 trips that year (2011). The blessing is he is still with us.

Hand-Made Baby Scrapbook

Today's share is a hand-made scrapbook using a kit from Diane Iverson's Easy Peasy Kits.  I made one book and decided to create my own.  This scrapbook isn't complete but I wanted to share to get some feedback.  

This scrapbook is for a couple who don't know what sex they are having.  I also have papers to make girl or boy specific books.  

I hope you enjoy looking through this!

Grateful Themed Pocket Notebooks

Today I'm sharing some pocket notebooks that I've decorated with Stampin' Up! designer series papers. They measure 6 X 4-1/4 inches. I included coordinating paper in the pens.

I can take special orders for Christmas, or birthdays. These are all fall themed.

"Just A Note" Gifts

I'm finding ways to use up my scraps! Look at the pens closely, I put the same paper inside the pen as what's on the coaster board. I also put paper on the reverse side for when you want a change of colors!

Papers are from Stampin' Up! I will take orders for these as well. The clip is magnetic so would be good for office filing cabinets. If you prefer the clip without the magnet, just let me know and I can switch them out.

Happy Crafting,
