Father's Day Card & Gift Idea

This is what my Dad and FIL's are getting this year for Father's Day. I fell in love with the milk carton treat box idea after seeing it somewhere on the web. I found a great tutorial here on how to make them. I plan on filling them up with their favorite treats. As for the card, it's a design that I came up with on my own.



I plan on making more of the milk carton boxes and having them on hand for birthdays, Visiting Teaching gifts, etc. They are adorable, and lots of fun to make!

2 Wins in One Week!

I guess it was my lucky week! I won two different giveaways....WooHoo!

My daughters adore this Capri Sun bag and matching coin purse I won from Trash to Treasure. We've been saving our Capri Sun pouches so we can learn to make them this summer.

And I can't wait to get this book that I won from Some of This and Some of That. I need all the ideas I can get to keep my kiddos busy this summer!
Thanks ladies for some great giveaways! Be sure to check out their blogs for great ideas, and more giveaways!

Cute Tiles...

My girls made these cute tiles for me at one of their Activity Days. I'm the 10-11 year old Activity Days Leader, so I bought some tiles and had the girls in my group make them too. We gave them to their mothers at our Mother/Daughter Activity last Saturday.


They turned out adorable!! And they are so simple to make! All you need is some scrapbook paper, a picture, some Mod Podge, and a tile (these are 7x7)....my kind of project!

I ended up buying some extra tiles so I can make some Christmas gifts with them. Can't wait to get started!!

Trash to Treasure

My creative cousin Lorie has started a blog called "Trash to Treasure" featuring all the fun stuff she makes from recycled items. She's doing a giveaway every week, so be sure to check it out!
I just love these juice carton purses! I've been saving them up so I can learn to make them. I'm hoping that I can get to it this summer, but we'll see!!

Sheetload of Cards

One of my favorite things to do is make homemade cards. Several months ago I stumbled across a great site called Sheetload of Cards. Every month they put out a free e-zine with directions on how to make their card of the month.

Sheetload has totally changed the way I make cards! Before I would sit down with all my supplies and spend forever just trying to come up with an idea for a card. Now all that work is done for me. I love it!!

This is a their May 2009 e-zine. Using it, I came up with these:

If you have a minute, and you love to make cards, go check them out! You won't be sorry!!
