Picture Frames

At my Christmas choir concert, I had a picture taken of Mrs. Appell and me. When she asked for a copy of the picture, I immediately wanted to make her a picture frame. I got the frame from Micheal's($1 for a wooden frame) and then decorated it with music paper. After making the frame for Mrs. Appell, I also made a frame with letters.

Cupcake Card

I made this card, for a friend's birthday. I love the cupcake template. It was so easy to easy with. The card matches with the cute cupcake wrapping paper I found. I also got a chance to use the pastel cards and envelopes I got from Abby, another one of my amazing friends. I loved not having to measure out paper for a card. That was a plus. The pink was a nice inside for the card and work well. It was a cute card and I can't wait to make one like it again.

Valentine Cookies

The night before Valentine's Day I help my mom make some cookies for her class. I didn't get a picture of the frosted ones. The cut outs were fun to experiment taking pictures with. Here are some of my favorites.



I just love this picture

A card for a friend

Here is a card that I made for Audrey. It turned out pretty nice. I found the template in a pile of paper and had to make something with it. It has been a long time since the last time I made a card and was good getting back into it. The one problem was the inside had a little bend in the paper. Such a cute card otherwise. Can't wait to make more cards.

Cake Pops

For Christmas, I got a cake pop book from my amazing friend Audrey. Last weekend I got together with her to make cake pops. They are a little putsy, but so much fun to make none the less. They turned out great. Such cute treats. I made them for my small group at church. They were a big hit. Can't wait to make them again sometime.


This is the cake pop book I got from my friend

Here are some of the cake pops

We put the cake pops in sugar for taking pictures

Birthday Invitations

I have always wanted to make handmade birthday invitations, so this year I spent an entire afternoon working on the invitation. It was a lot more work than I expected, but the results were worth it. The first two were made with a letter cutter I borrowed from my aunt. The letters took a lot more time than I expected so I decided to print out you're invited on the rest of the cards. Although they weren't as nice as the first two, they still worked out and made the job ten times easier. I was very happy with the results.

Here are all the invitations. I love the polka dot paper.

Here is the card that probably turned out the best.

Here is a up close of the letters. They are a little larger than my thumb nail
