Quick and Easy gift giving!!

December 9, 2008 By JulieK

My friend Katy came to me with an idea that she wanted to do for her day care providers… She wanted to give them a few small gift cards, kind of representing a "day out" so starting with a Starbucks card, then maybe the book store, then maybe Target or something like that… She figured she'd come up with 4 cards… and she asked if I could find a way to package them :) Here's what I came up with… Each mini-book has 4 "pockets" to hold the gift cards, a little tag to write the amount on, and a little space to write something clever :)

Both use the Zutter BIA, the Zutter 4×4 acrylic covers… Zutter OWires and the pink Zutter corner rounder. The first uses American Crafts papers, and some of my favorite Quickutz, the snowman from the "SnowDay" gift set, Maggie alphabet, circle tag, 12inch scallop border.  The second uses My Mind's Eye papers and cut-outs, along with the scallop border and circle tag… You can see more Zutter designs at the Zutter Zister's Website

Just found a fabulous mini-book “class” online…

Leah Killian is posting a BEAUTIFUL mini-book class on her blog… She designs for Cosmo Cricket and "me Scrapbook Nook, and simply creates BEAUTIFUL work!! I couldn't resist taking a peek at the cover and you just need to go and look at it…

Look at all that gorgeous detail on the cover… Just what I needed… and "excuse" to have to go and buy those pretty papers at Laurie's Store!! I've successfully avoided them until now 'cause I didn't "need" them…

Speaking of Laurie's store… The Scrapbooker's Dream in Tewksbury, MA is having an UNBELIEVABLE sale starting tomorrow… 50% off "almost" everything in the store… AND (this made me almost hyperventilate…) 60% off all in stock Quickutz… OMG.  Check out the details at the site Scrapbooker's Dream 

Baby Fever

December 3, 2008 By JulieK

Not for us :) But for Mike's cousin Kimmy!! We couldn't be more excited for Kimmy and Blue and the little peanut!!! The baby shower was last weekend, and here's what I made…

A Matching gift bag and card, made with some wonderful Heidi Grace papers and cardstock stickers, the QK font is one of my favorites, Maggie Mini :) and a little bit of Bazzill Cardstock.

And… Paper Crafts are not all I can do :) I crocheted this wonderfully soft blankie to go with in the bag… It was a new pattern, but worked up pretty quickly, I just LOVE how it came out! I've just recently made another blankie for a friend who's also due about the same time, and I'm on scarf number 6 (it's going to be a handmade Christmas for many people this year!!)
