Birthday Books

Awhile ago I saw some handmade perpetual birthday books while browsing the web and finally got the chance to try it out. Even though I saw ideas online, this is something I had to figure out on my own since I don't have 8 1/2 x 11 chipboard and instead I have the rectangular one. Surprisingly, it did not take me too long to figure out how to make the months in Word. I just made 2 for now ( gave them away already) to see how I like it...I think I'll be making more! :)

The cover...

One of the inside pages...

Front of 2nd cover...

 Both of the covers I used Two Scoops Rice Designs stamps and the Cricut for the lettering.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Randomness:

I probably said this before but...

"Life is really what YOU make of it!"

If anything is "wrong" in your life, you can't blame anyone but yourself even though we tend to blame others.

It's all about knowing how to deal with things that come our way and if it's about someone's personality that you don't like, you can't take it personal and know that it's them not you.

Some things in life I will never understand but life must go on...

A Special Treat For You

Just wanted to share this card I made for the challenge at My Favorite Things.

So glad the weekend is here...it was a short week but it still felt long.

Hope you all have a fun filled weekend!

Hi

A quick post to share the card I made for Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday! Can't believe there was an earthquake in Hawaii today!

I heard on the news it came from Lanai but I felt it from Downtown, Oahu! Interesting day!

Have a good Friday everyone!

RAK and M&T's

Got to go to a craft gathering this past weekend...fun fun! I was thinking what to make for RAKs and realized I had a lot of Bath and Body hand santizer tha't I got from my last trip...so I decided to make a holder for it!! Luckily, I found a tutorial from here to help me out! :) It's really easy, the only problem is I have issues with find a very stick tape to hold my boxes together!! I even used the red sticky strip and they didn't stay so I had to add glue! I made a total of 10. I had some extra so I gave them to some friends. I used the embossing stencils from Taj Clubhouse to decorate the holder, 2 each of 5 animals.

Here's 3 of them close up...

And the other 2...

And the inside...

Here's all 10...

The RAKs from everyone...

one is missing though...opened the candy already.

Here's the 2 M&T's we made...

a mini purse and scallop flower!

And a thank you RAK from Jenny.

Hope you all had a wonderful President's Day weekend!

Birthday Gift Bag

Made another gift bag for a friend who's birthday was yesterday. Another friend's bday was today too! My friend loves the hedgehog from Penny Black so I used one of those. And she loves pink! I used the most recent sketch from Stamping 411 to help me out!

(I seem to always take crooked pictures! :( )

Here's a close up...

Had a fun weekend but sad time to go work tomorrow!

At least it's a 4 day week.

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

I'll Hold You In My Heart

Another fun sketch from My Favorite Things!

I tried paperpiecing again...Still getting used to trying to match the papers!

Used Basic Grey Pyrus paper.

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Birthday Penguins

Made another birthday card since this is the first time I'm using this stamp from The Cat's Pajamas. The penguins are so adorable! This card is pretty simple...just added stickles to the star and sprinkles and the designed corner punch. This card is for the challenge at Create4fun.

Thanks for dropping by!

Yay for a 3 day weekend...hope you all have a great one!
