Bind-it-all post it note holder


These cute post it note holders were made using my Bind-it-all. The instructions came from youtube. If you go to my site www.youtube.com/user/bekiew (look for link at the bottom of this blog) and look under favorites you can find the instructions. I decorated the covers with paper from Creative Memories Earthy power palette and attached ribbon to the binding. They were so easy and turned out so cute.

Baby Shower Favors!


Aren't these cute??!!! Another youtube find. I love that site for finding new craft ideas. This was one posted by a member called irvinehouse. It is titled 2-4-6-8 valentine box. For some reason I am unable to copy and paste the URL. My sister is doing a Mickey Mouse theme in the baby's room so I chose to cut a baby head with Mickey ears using my Cricut. ( I love that thing!) The poem below was again something I found on youtube. Needless to say, everyone loved them and couldn't believed that I made the little bags. I filled them with Hershey Kiss Cherry Cordials. 


Cowboy hats

I was working on these hats for my sisters baby shower. I got the plans and ideas for it off a you tube video. I had plan to fill them with candy and wrap them with cellophane. And even though they came out cute, they weren't the right look I was looking for for the shower. So I chose something else that I will post in different post. Don't know what I am going to do with these... :)

A baby gift for my Nephew

This was my first attempt at decorating wooden letters. These will be hanging in my Nephew's Room. His name is going to be Colton John Alford. The little disney characters were cut with my new Cricut machine that I got for Christmas. I painted the edges of the letters with a darker blue paint then the paper I had chose for the front of the letters. Once I attached the paper to the letters I used a emory board to distress the edges of the letters and the fronts. I used hot glue to attach the ribbon, and tied bows to be hung on the wall. I am extremely happy with the way they came out and my sister loved them too! Let me know what you think.
