Using my hands

As you know by now- I like to make things. I like using my hands to create something fun. I think that's why I love to scrapbook so much.

Here's what I've worked on recently...

Above is a Christmas advent calendar. I think it's so stinkin' cute! It's made from a clipboard and really easy to do. To create- I used a clipboard, scrapbook paper, clips, lots of ribbons, my printer to type up the numbers and Mod Podge.

My dilemma is whether or not to keep all the numbers on the board and as the days of December go by take off a number...or to leave it blank and add a number for each day? What do you think I should do?

Do you see how darling these purses are? I just can't get over them! To create- I used my Cricut Expression and the 'Tags, Bags & More' cartridge to cut out the template. I used E6000 glue at the seams for a sure seal as I folded together. Then I added a couple embellishments/ribbon. They're about 5-6 inches tall.

My friend, Samara, needed something adorable {and that would scream "TAKE ME!" to ladies} to put samples of weight lose products she's selling. I came up with these sweet girls. They're perfect!

I can't take credit for this one. My son, Conner, with help from his daddy, worked on this school project. It's the earth and is supposed to represent the earths four layers. He had to create something tangible to show, with labels, as well as a report about each layer. They did a GREAT job! Well, I did do something...I went to the store and bought the stuff. teehee
