Christmas gift projects

Yes, I know that Christmas is over but I've been out-of-state for over a week so I thought I would post these two projects that I made for gifts at Christmas.

I made Holiday recipe albums for my Mother, sister-in-law, daughter and daughter-in-law using a K and Co. Christmas stack and my Your Story. They were quick and simple to make!







The next project is simply a little open box that I made by scoring a 12x12 piece of double-sided cardstock to create a place to slip in gift cards!




I also included a jar mix of my Sour Cream Coffee Cake with a recipe tag.


Thanks for stopping by today and just FYI, I'll debut as a guest designer on She's a Sassy Lady tomorrow, March 10th!! I'm so excited!!

Love the recipe books!! I made some myself a couple of years back for family members. I didn't have any real crafting supplies and did everything with a ruler, scissors and glue stick....LOL. What a treat it is to have the cricut. I have to ask. How did you manage to get a sour cream coffee cake recipe in a jar? If you would share the recipe I would love it!! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing you on She's a Sassy Lady!!

I made a box to put a set of Valentine's cards in. I used a 12x12 piece of double-sided cardstock from K and Co. The cards are made with Kraft paper and are a 4x4 size. I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the fro...

She is our wonderful host for this hop!  On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!   I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! )  The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection.  Read to the end of this post to find the link for the next blog to hop to and for my ...
