Shower Gift #2 "Dry Erase Board"

This gift #2 of 3-4 gifts. I wanted something functional for 1 of the gifts. I was at Kohls the other day and they had a dry erase board that was so pretty. I looked it over and thought... I can make something close to it! I went to the Dollar Store, picked up a frame and a dry erase pen and came home to figure out what I was going to do with it. Everything on it is left overs from other projects. The paper in the middle & words are from the Notebook Collection from CTMH, I stamped an image on the corner of the mat frame (I used a 12 x 12 pc. of cream card stock, cut the size out of the middle that I wanted)added some ribbon and that's about it. I decided to go ahead and post the teachers gifts and another shower gift. The paper for the first teachers gift is all from SU, I used a stamp from SU. the inside is simply 6 clear envelopes. I secured it by putting 2 brads. The second one is an old CD case. I used paper I had left over from another project. I think the paper is from Creative Memories, but I am not sure. I added a flower from CTMH, Big Pinks and inked the edges and then added a little glitter to give some bling. Very easy to make. If anyone is interested in the directions for any of the projects I have been making, just let me know and I can get them for you. I have a few more things to make for the shower, when they are finished I will post them also. Good day to everyone!!!

Shower gift # 1... 3 More To Go...

Luis my 2nd son is getting married in June. For the shower I decided to make the gifts for the prize winners. This the 1st one that I have completed. I used paper from CTMH Promise of Spring Paper Pack. It was one of the past Heart of Winter Project Packs.I stamped a flower,added a little glitter, a pop dot,& some black ribbon... I also had to make the envelopes because the card ended up being a size that I couldn't find an envelope to fit it. These cards won't be able to go in mail, but they will be nice throw in a gift bag!

Hello everyone!!!

Boy, sure has been a while.
I have come to the conclusion that I really am not a very faithful blogger. I have no reason why, I guess just busy doing other things, Physical Therapy, Pain Clinic, Dr. appointments... Really just haven't had much me time to sit down for alittle me time and fill everyone in on my scrapbooking. I am sad to say I am very behind!!!! I have always been prompt in getting events photographed, developed, cropped, and onto pages in a timely fashion... that is pretty much down the tubes for me! am hoping to get a little more time so that I can work on my sons wedding. I have it started and I will finish litlle more and I will share a few pages with you... I have 6 pages nearly finished... I posted a picture of myself and my hubby. The reason is I want everyone to know how amazing he is! We celebrated our 28th anniversary last week. I still get flutters when I am near him, so I just wanted to let everyone know that I am sorry but I HAVE the most amazing man that anyone could ever dream of being married to!!!!!!! So, with that said I am heading to the family room to watch a movie with my DH. Have a wonderful evening and I will be posting pages again soon!!!
