Paper Wall Flowers

I was inspired by these Scrapbook Wall Flowers pinned here. I made these for my second Saturday scrapbook class I teach =). These were back from May! Sometimes I make so many projects at once that I forget to post about them =).

 

Instead of using cardboard, I used the wooden flowers that I bought from Pick your Plum a while ago.

Then I followed her tutorial for the most part. =)

I used my trusty glue dots to hold the petal down, but hot glue may have been better since these are pinched. I laid them out on my wooden flower to see how it wood look.

On the back of the wooden flower, I added a bunch of flat flowers. For the center, I used scrap strips like a pinwheel. Then I added some bling to the petals. Then I made a second flower that exposed more wood instead of covering it all with paper. I used a circle stamp for a textured look.

Baby Shower Gifts

Here is a canvas and bow holders I made for my one friend's baby - decor for the baby's room. Her colors were turquoise and hot pink. Sorry the pictures are so dark.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For another friend's shower, I made a bow holder out of canvas. The baby's room was in lavender and white with some light pink.

Then I also made these Big Brother and Little Sister shirts using the goldfish shapes on my Silhouette.

Here it is all wrapped up.

Here are all the presents together. I made an extra onesie with a butterfly and so sweet because I had cut that shape out previously.

Butterfly Pink and Lime Birthday - Large Scrapbook Frame

I made/decorated this frame. I saw the idea at my local craft store, Porter's and decided I wanted to have one for each of my kids. I made my daughter's one first so I could display it at her birthday party.

Mostly I used stickers on hers and then scraps of paper when I needed some bigger pieces to have less white space.

This would be easy to do with any matted frame. Great way to add interest and color especially for a kid's room.

Husband's Birthdays

My husband turned 30 a little while ago. Here's what I did for him. Even though my husband doesn't care about all this stuff; I can tell he still appreciates it and now he's going to attempt to do something special for my birthday =D Can't wait! The little things are so important!

First my son and I went to the $1 store to pick up some decorations. Then we went to my husband's work before he had to work and decorated. This was a total surprise to my husband. He didn't think I could surprise him 2 years in a row! I'm awesome! =D

Then when he came home from work, he had this waiting for him just to remind him all the great things he's done. Some of the accomplishments his family shared with me.

This was based on this idea from the Dating Divas - pinned here. 30 envelopes decorated with a little scrapbooking paper with a paper inside with each one of his accomplishments.

For my husband's birthday last year; it was his golden birthday so I got this cake made and added some gold coins.

Golden Birthday means the age you're turning matches your birth date day.

Christmas in July project

Here's what I made for a giveaway for Memories by Christine's Christmas in July. Check out all the fun ideas she has shared about Christmas!

I know I haven't been crafting too much. I'm still trying to catch up with laundry, dishes, sending out thank-you's and baby announcements, scrapbooking, church callings all while taking care of 2 kids. Hopefully I get there soon!

Birthday Layouts

At my birthday, I had friends create scrapbook pages so I could add the birthday pictures later. =D
I had to create a couple more pages later to make room for all the pictures, but it was still less work for me. I'm glad for creative and willing friends.
