Paper bag book

I have wanted to make a paperbag book ever since I saw my friend Liz at work make one. They are these cute little scrapbooks made out of lunch sacks. You cut off the bottom and staple them together and then decorate the bags. then you make pages to slip inside the bags. Anyways it was a perfect gift for a co-workers going away gift. She left this month after 10 years at the center. She really made me feel welcome when I started so I wanted to make sure she knew we were really going to miss her. Here is the book. The pages weren't done by my co-workers so I don't have any pictures of them but you get the idea when you see mine "dark blue room" at the end.

52 reasons book out of cards

This is a simple cute project I did for my husband for Valentines. I typed out 52 reasons why I loved him and then cut and glued one reason to each card. I used the jokers to make a "title page" and a back cover

Paper Banner

I made this banner with my cricut and layering letters over paper flowers. My friend Christie taught me how. Quick and easy but so cute!

Tissue Paper Pom Pom

I made these pom poms out of tissue paper. They are so cute and so easy and cheap. I got the tutorial off of Marthastewart.com.

A scrappy layout for a shadow box display

My good work friend Christie is so CRAFTY! She is amazing with paper! I had this picture I just love of travis and his Grandpa Orville. So I really wanted to make it into a page and frame it in a shadow box. Christie is especially good at making things look antique. SO I made a trade if she helped me make this page I'd help her sew a new purse. So tonight we made this page.

I took some close ups so you could see the detail! Christie is so good at attention to detail and just loved all the stuff she taught me to do! This is the first of many I am sure!
