{Princess Book} and Give-away

For my twin niece's birthday I created them each several personalized items including stickers and labels for their school books and folders or just to put them on whatever they wanted to.  I also created them each a book (you see below) to draw pictures, color or journal and using simple supplies like copy paper and card stock and put it together using my GBC BindMate Plastic Comb Binding Machine.  I purchased this little gadget several years ago at Office Max.  I love having it as part of my crafting supplies because I can easily pull it out to bind a quick book using the comb binders.  Yes, I'm a gadget junkie too.  :)

For the adorable graphics on the front cover of the book I used my super favorite Scrappin' Doodles.  

Inside the book is blank pages just ready for drawing, writing or coloring.  I used 8 1/2" x 11" card stock for front and back covers and regular 8 1/2" x 11" copier paper for the inside book.  

I tied scraps of ribbon on the comb binding for added color.

….and now….onto a sweet give-way for you….

I had so much fun making these books for my nieces that I'd like to offer one of these adorable books to one lucky followers here at Craft Junkie Too.

Hi everyone and welcome to the National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop hosted by the Design Team for My Pink Stamper.  All of the fun kicks off at Robyn's blog -- so click here to start at the beginning so you don't miss anything.

For today's project I'm using one of the stamps from the brand new My Pink Stamper set "Girlie Sayings".  This collection is for anyone who loves to shop, have fun, and loves girlie things.  Love it!

Mother's Day Gift

I created this project for my mom for Mother's Day.  She loves purple, purses and shopping -- so guess what's tucked inside this cutie??  Yep -- a gift card to her favorite shopping place.  I can't wait to give it to her.  

 

Supplies:

• Purse ~ Forever Young cricut cartridge page 70 -- designed on my Gypsy to cut as big as I could on the mat.  
• Cardstock ~ purple by Core'dinations
• Front of purse I used my Martha Stewart's "Doily Lace Deep Edger" punch on leopard spotted lavendar/purple designer paper; then put it on lavender cardstock for extra hightlight.  I also added some sprayed glitter to the top for extra bling.  
• Tulle (located in fabric department) for flower on front; it's about 4 small pieces of tulle gathered in the center.  I added a purple brad to secure it to the front of the purse.  
• Sentiment "You're my favorite purse on" ~ Girlie Sayings by My Pink Stamper

Monogrammed Birthday Friend Tags

If your child is like mine they get invited to many birthday parties.  You can create a personalized card to keep on hand and attach it to the outside (or inside) of the gift.  It is so stinkin' cute to see adorable cards attached to the gift.  Just have your child sign the bottom in their handwriting and it makes it even more special.  

For the monogram - find a font you like on your computer and print several (play around with the size) then use your round circle or scallop circle punch to punch them out.  Use coordinating paper to design the perfect theme for the entire card.  

I've included the sentiment below -- click on the sentiment, it will open in another window, right click on the sentiment (in the new window) and save it to your computer.  I've included 2 formats, .png (transparent so you will not see a border around the words) or .jpg (which will have a white box or border).  Enjoy!  :)

Earlier this evening I gave you a Sneaky Peaky of a project I've been working on for the past couple of days. Ü

I love making these personalized canvas boards and sometimes it is the perfect gift for that hard to find something for person or a different spelling of the person's name.  I'll be offering various designs for sale soon....Ü
My cousin's twin daughters recently celebrated their 1st birthday and I couldn't wait to created one of these boards for them.  I am so happy to share the with you today.  Ü

Embossing folders -   Victoria (hair) Swiss Dots (hot pink on dress and sleeves)

various trims, ribbons, rick rack, bows, bling and brads

i-rock for bling (just i-rock gems)

otherwise it will melt your gem/jewel (experience Ü)

I finally pulled out my i-rock gadget by Imaginisce and attached the diamond looking bling on the dress and the word CROWN.  If you don't have one....take it from me....the i-rock - ROCKS..... I can't believe I waited so long to pull it out and use it.   

I'll be back tomorrow to announce the winner of my SP & Company stamp set from the blog hop we did on Thursday.  Thank you all for your super sweet comments.
