Loaded Diaper Cake




This was a blast to make. Joy helped me roll over 100 diapers to form this cake. The core contains a tub of baby wipes and a bottle of pedialyte. The recipe card is off From My Kitchen. Have a great Sunday!

Gift Bag Makeover




This was a really nice bag but it had a business logo sticker adhered to the front. I used the flower monogram from the Hello Kitty Font cartridge and some pop up glue dots to stick it down. Have a gorgeous weekend!

Hello Kitty Gatefold Card





 

This was lots of fun. I used a Velcro dot to hold it shut:





Since I give cards without envelopes sometimes when giving them in person. I also highlighted the yellow areas with stickles. The shape the HK image is on is from Storybook. The stamp says "You're the cat's meow!" let me know if you have any questions. Have a glorious day!

Toilet Paper Tube Bee Craft

I found this cute craft online here:

http://www.busybeekidscrafts.com/Bee-Crafts.html

and decided to dial it up a notch:






We added fuzzy black legs (pipe cleaners) and antennae(also pipe cleaners). I didn't have any yellow paint so we used bright yellow cardstock and it was perfect. The stripes were just drawn on with a black marker. I precut the wings out of vellum and ran them through the cuttlebug for some added texture. (Oh...Cade's is a soldier bee and has ammo drawn on him...and no legs...) Fun, easy, and adorable!

Hello Kitty Font Onesie









I got the Hello Kitty Font cartridge and knew it would be perfect for my stepdaughter's bound-to-be-girly baby girl due at the beginning of April. I used Heat 'n Bond to fuse the fabric. It didn't cut perfectly, but it wasn't too bad, either. I was able to make a few snips here and there and shape up the letters nicely. Is the flower on the back cute? I hope so. Have a beautiful day!

Embroidered Baby Gifts

This is one of those blanket buddies from Sewing for Sarah. I just added the name with the built-in alphabet from my machine (actually they are all built-ins).









A bib (Embroidables.com):



And a onesie (Designs by Juju):

These are just too cute not to share. I already had boxes of (generic- i think from the Dollar Tree in 4 packs) Sweet Tart Hearts and they are a bit short, but the printable wraps around them snugly. I can't wait to give these to the kids in my Sunday School class. They are sure to be a hit! Check it out:

Simple "baby" Card

This is a cut off of A Child's Year that I embossed and inked. A little ribbon and a border punch finish it off!

New Every Morning Card

I used an MS punch to shape the corners and embossed the butterflies and sentiment from Sweet n Sassy Stamps. Love that sentiment!!

Fashion Show Party Centerpiece

This was a centerpiece I made using the great phrases from Once Upon a Princess. I used a plain clear vase filled with metallic basket filler on a mercury-looking candleholder.


I taped the phrases to skewers out of my kitchen drawer. (I taped two skewers together to make the tallest ones.)


I added a tiny bit of blind to each design with stickles.





Fancy Nancy would be so proud!

The Fastest (and cheapest!) Baby Shower Gift Ever!


Aren't they stinkin' cute?  I got them at.....shhhh!....the Dollar Tree.  A little black vinyl and welding the letters with Design Studio make them look adorable and personal.  I cut the letters at 1 1/2" and they took all of 5 min to do both of them.  Love that!  I think I need to go back to the Dollar Tree and stock up on these little gems.
