Coffee Can

My new mom motto is: Coffee, Coffee, Coffee.  My sister-in-law has 4 boys, 4 and under.  When she found out she was prego with the last two (twin boys) she went out and bought the largest coffee cups I've ever seen.  So, I made this little canister for a friend...and put some ground coffee inside, of course!

It's just a simple pail I picked up at Joann's and then covered with paper.  Giving the gift of coffee is my first love language, finding paper that matches someone's personality is my second.  So, I think I liked making this project more than my friend enjoyed receiving it!  Delightful.

Diaper Cake

Remember a few weeks ago when I promised to post a pic of the diaper cake I made Mike help me make?  Well, here it is.  I loved making this and the mom to be felt super special...as all recipients of any cake should!

Scrapbook for Betty




I made this scrapbook for Betty a few months back...I still need to get photos in there, but at least the book is made right?  It was from a kit I picked up at Archivers.  Super fast, fun, and easy!  I'm not sure how I feel about all the formatting of the layouts, but it's a great example if I want to do future board books.  Plus, it has rings and ribbon ties which I adore!

Small Scrapbooks



I've been craving a spot to post some of my recent projects. For weeks I've been storing up photos of creations hoping to have a free second to post them. Not working means I should have more time for these things, but unfortunately something always takes precedence to getting my projects posted. Life at work. Here are a few of my proudly COMPLETED projects!

To the left is a little picture book. I've pretty much been obsessed with making these since my friend had twins almost a year ago. I mad
e her 2, one for each and now I'm addicted. They are super cute and super fun for shower gifts.



The pages on the right and below are from a small scrapbook with pages varying in size. It came out so cute. I haven't seen the mommy of the little girl this book is for in a while and haven't presented it, so I can't show the cover yet. But, I had a ton of fun making this and using my Cricut to get some different pages done.
