Camera Strap

I think these camera straps are absolutely adorable! I would love to have one for my cannon camera! I came across the blog Grosgrain and saw these cute camera straps. There are different fabrics to chose from. All you do is slide this cover over your camera strap! What a cute idea! I'm adding it to either a "craft to do list" (for my hubby that is, he's the one who can sew!) or a "to buy list"...not sure which one yet! I looked up camera straps on Etsy, and found that most cost around $10...and come in cute Amy Butler fabrics!

Baby Shower

I threw a baby shower this weekend for a very good friend of mine! The colors: Teal and Brown! I had so many ideas of things I wanted to make! Unfortunately I didn't get to do everything I wanted to, but I did do most of it! The thing I was most excited about was this banner! I used all Stampin' Up! paper, my cricut, double sided tape, toile, and ribbon! That's it!

This is the banner!

With it also being the holiday season, I decided to make peppermint bark for the take-home treat! All you do is crush candy canes, stir them into melted white chocolate, lay flat on wax paper, refrigerate until hard, and break into pieces! What a yummy snack! I wanted to stick to the teal and brown, so I used teal paper with brown polka dots to cover the treat baggies. Then I stapled the baggies shut! 

I made these for the cupcake toppers! The cupcakes where chocolate with chocolate frosting of course! Yummy! 

Since I have a vinyl machine, I decided to do different vinyl projects for game prizes!

This is prize #1

Since every good place to hang a banner is being occupied by garland for Christmas....I used the TV haha!

I also made these plaques. They were used as a shower decoration, plus they are a nursery decoration.

I found this cute cupcake stand at Williams-Sonoma! I love it!

MORE CUPCAKES!

Birthday Idea!

I have some friends with birthdays this month, and I saw a cute idea to scrapbook cake stuff. Here is what I did:

I wrapped cupcake wrappers in cellophane bags. And connected them to the cake box with a ribbon that I stamped Happy Birthday all over. 

Some sprinkles for the cupcakes.

I took toothpicks and paper to make some cupcake decorations. Then I put them in a cellophane bag and closed it with some scrapbook paper and staples.

I wrapped the frosting with scrapbook paper. This paper is part of the Confetti scrap pack from Stampin' Up.

Then I made a cupcake bag and gift tag...

Treat Bags

My mom asked me if I could make some treat bags she could give to her co-workers for Halloween. I went to Michael's and purchased some white bags and scrapbook paper by Martha Stewart. I also put some ribbon on some of the plain bags. After I made the bags I added some cute Halloween tissue paper...I think it gives the bags a little extra something. This is a very cute and simple way to decorate a bag. Estimated time for 8 bags: 1 hour
