Emily's Birthday

Last year around this time I showed you some gifts I made for Emily, a lovely family friend.  I made her a gift bag, a notebook, and some choccies.  Recently I ran a craft activity for Emily's party.  Em loves crafting so this was a fun activity for her to do with her friends.  We made the party bags and the girls were able to choose their own colours (pink was the most popular...surprise, surprise!) and then their own butterfly combinations to put on the bags.  Rhinestones were a big hit too!  The bag is the Fancy Favor Bigz XL die and the handles were made using the Tasteful Trim die.

Here's me helping the birthday girl.

And here she is with her bag.

If you would like me to do a craft activity with your child and a group of friends, contact me by email.

Hostess Gift

At a recent class we made a variety of boxes using the Big Shot Fancy Favor die.  In amongst all the "card guts" left over was the bottom half of one of the boxes which I put together to form a small rectangular box.  I used some Tombow to glue some Old Olive ribbon around it and made a variety of tags to fit inside.  The end result was a cute and handy little hostess gift that I gave to Judy who hosted a demonstration yesterday.

And here are the tags and cards for inside.
