Camera Card

Have you seen the camera cards made with the Stampin Up! Envelope Punch Board?!

One word.  Adorable!

Of course I had to make my own version...

Such a fun little project!

If you want to make your own, HERE is a great tutorial from Valerie Moody.

I decided to make my card bigger than the one in the tutorial.
My finished card measures 4.25" x 5.5".
Other measurements:
Circles: 1/2", 3/4", 2", 2.5"
Patterned Paper: 1.5" x 5.5"

YW Christmas Gift

Although it's too late to use this gift idea this year, 

I figured I'd share what we gave our young women for Christmas anyways.  

It's never too early to plan for next year!

We loved THIS IDEA, and decided to give our girls a pair of gloves.  

We found the gloves at a dollar store, and packaged them up 

in a cellophane bag topped with a tulle bow.  

The girls LOVED them!

Since we used gloves instead of mittens, 

I ended up creating my own version of the printable.

If you'd like a copy of my version of the printable without the watermark, 

you can find it HERE.

Christmas Gift Box

No, I haven't completely fallen off the face of the earth ;)

I had every intention of doing my annual 12 Days of Christmas this year.  

Things just got too busy, and I never got around to it.  

I hope you'll forgive me!

Boxes are something that I love to make.  

Whenever I see a tutorial for a new one, especially if it's super cute, 

I always end up making at least one.

This little box measures approximately 4.5" x 2" x 1.5".

It's the perfect size for a small bottle of lotion, a few tubes of chapstick, candy, etc.

The bow on top was made using the new 

Envelope Punch Board from Stampin' Up!.  

Isn't it too cute?!

The box tutorial can be found HERE,

and HERE is a great video on making the little bow.

Have a fabulous weekend!

2013 Young Women in Excellence {Stand in Holy Places}

I've been busy the last couple of weeks planning and preparing

 for our Young Women in Excellence 

(this is a program in my church for young women ages 12-18 to celebrate 

what they've accomplished in the Personal Progress program throughout the year).  

Our theme was "Stand in Holy Places". 

 Here's a rundown of few of the things we did.

I bought THIS IMAGE of a high heel shoe made from the 8 Young Women Values.  

We used it for our invitations, in our programs, and made cupcake toppers with it.  

Here's our invitations (I loved THIS INVITATION so much that I patterned ours after it!).

I didn't get any pictures of our cupcakes with the toppers (darn!), 

but here's a few other pictures from that night.

'Stand Ye in Holy Places' printable can be found HERE.

 Value printables can be found HERE.

Our gift to the girls was these cute paper high heels filled with Hershey's Kisses.  

They were a hit!! (and a LOT of work!)  

We also gave them each a temple recommend holder 

that says "Stand Ye in Holy Places"

A close up of the cute shoes...

The printable pattern for these shoes can be found HERE.

We've got a wonderful group of girls in our ward!  

It was fun to be able to have a night to celebrate them 

and all the wonderful things they are doing!

'Be of Good Cheer' Card

Yep, you guessed it!  

The card I'm sharing today features my favorite new tool 

at the moment...the Owl Punch from Stampin' Up!.

This one was inspired by THIS CARD.   

I love the layout....so much in fact, 

that it's on the short list of ideas for my 2014 birthday cards.  

I'll share those when I decide what I'm going to do ;)

Have a great Thursday!
