Thanks, You're sweet!

I love to send out Thank You notes, so when I make them I make a few at a time!

I made these using all scrap paper and scrap ribbon except for the ice-creams but I cut as many as my paper would fit which was 14 so now I have extra cuts!

Hello Summer!

I finally came up with the courage to change the thread in my mini sewing machine! I was worried if I took out the white thread it came with I would never be able to figure out how to put another one in! But of course it was so super easy and I kick myself for not trying it sooner!



So I was able to use this super fun kiwi green! I just love how it matches the paper perfect!

Sweet Baby!

I used my mini sewing machine for this challenge! I dusted it off a few weeks ago and have had it sitting right in front of me, reminding me to use it!

The sewing is a little crooked but I still love how this turned out! I used some of my handmade pins too!

My Travel Mini Brag book!

We are going to Georgia this summer and when we went last year I brought all the supplies with me so we could make a scrapbook of our trip.Well that never happened, so I decided I would pre-make the book and mail it ahead of time so while we are there with Grandma and Nana the only thing they have to do is write notes and add the photos!

I am so happy with how this came out!
The size is 9x6 I used office envelopes so there would be a place to hold tickets, mementos etc and added cardstock between each page! it is 22 pages!! it took me about 4 hours to complete. I might have to make one more, so that we have one and the Grandmas have one!













I used scallops so I can add just our faces to each one!

ALL papers are from scraps! 
Scallops from Accent Essentials
