Gifts!

Hey, everyone!

One of my favorite things about paper crafting is that I can make a gift in a relatively short amount of time and personalize it so it's custom made just for the person I am giving it to. My future sister-in-law, Hannah, told me how much she liked my little book of goals for this year that I made with my Bind-It-All. I decided right then to make one for her and surprise her with it! I decided to leave it plain so she could jazz it up the way she wants or she can leave it as is. The title is printed from my computer then colored with my BIC Mark It's in three different shades of purple. I chose this beautiful paper to cover the chipboard covers I made. There's a slight shimmer to the covers so it is very subtle but nice! I hope she likes it! I just used lined notebook paper for the inside. The measurements for the book covers are 5x7.

My nephew is going to be TEN on Jan. 22. I cannot believe it was 10 years ago that I was snuggling that baby boy and now he is almost as tall as me and just a handsome and sweet kid! He's saving his money for a bike so I made him a spinner card and will give him $10! I hope he thinks the spinning cupcake is kewl! I didn't want to go too cutesy but I think it's a pretty fun card. I cheated and used a sticker from my scrapbook stash instead of stamping a sentiment. The inside has a happy birthday sentiment stamped on it. This was just something fun and easy.

Well thanks for hanging out with me today! I hope you like these projects and they inspire you, too! If you would like your own GOALS FOR 2009 kit let me know.
