Baby gift set

It's finally back to school today for my kids, after what seems like forever!



I want to share a project that I made for a friend who just had a baby girl! I made her this keepsake box with drawers, one of my favorite projects to make. You can see the other boxes that I've made here and here , with a full tutorial. I made one for my daughter to match her room and we keep all her hair bows and barrettes in there.




I made the personalized label on the top of the box using Ambassador Monogram Edition to spell out the name and I cut out a flower from the patterned paper.



Along with the box, I made a matching card. I used the elephant from the Click Simple template "Rock a Bye Baby" and resized it to be smaller for my card front.



And the inside of the card got decorated as well.

I think that this project qualifies for our latest Papertrey Princess challenge which was given to us by Lee. You can see the details here . I also entered this project into the Guest Star Stamper contest.

Have a great day!

I am beyond speechless to be chosen as an honorable mention for PTI's Guest Star Stamper contest!! You can view all the project on Nichole Heady's blog here .

Here is the card I submitted--it uses the same beautiful papers and similar layout to my Valentine exchange card . I stamped the balloon strings once, and then masked and stamped again so I could have more strings and a larger bouquet!



I sent this card to my Grandma for her birthday--Happy Birthday Grandma!

Thanks for coming by and Happy Friday!

PTI March Guest Star Stamper Entries

I entered the March contest at PTI and here are my projects. My first is a scrapbook page I made about my son's gardening skills! I stamped lots of different flower stamps in many colors, cut them out and adhered to the page with dimensionals. Here is another view of the page.

And another


I also made a card using the stamp set Friends 'til the End and Damask Designs.
