Hand Sanitizer Gift

Hello friends. Today I wanted to show you this cute hand sanitizer gift I made for my friends who came over and took my Thankful Journal Class this past Sunday.

I got the Idea for the holder from my fabulous upline Becky Roberts. I believe she put candies in her holder. I wanted to try a little something different. The Hand sanitizers are from Bath and Body works.

Here is a picture of the hand sanitizer out and next to holder.

The yellow leaf, twine to make the mini bow and the patterned paper is from the Thankful Tablescape simply created kit. The thank you stamp is from the Itty bitty banners stamp set and cut out with coordinating Bitty banners framelits dies. I also used the tag die from the chalk talk framelits collection to make front and back of box. I then embossed the tags with the new stylish stripes textured impressions embossing folder from the holiday catalog.

These were really simple and fun to make. To order the supplies I used to make this cute gift please visit my online store here.

Thankful Journal

Hello my crafty friends! Today I want to show you this mini Thankful album I made with the Thankful tablescape simply created kit from the holiday mini catalog. I got this idea from Sara Douglass. She just so happens to be Shelli Gardner's daughter. She showed us a Thankful journal she made out of the kit at convention. When I first saw it I knew that I HAD to make one myself!

What I really like about this is that is made from the table scape kit meant to fancy up your table at Thanksgiving. Myself I don't fancy up my table. I like to decorate using the cute stuff my kids make at school and bring home. The thought and idea that you can make a mini album out of this kit is just so awesome! I LOVE MINI ALBUMS!!!

Now I did make one napkin holder. Here it is. I just had to have one with my name on it!

This is what the kit looks like.

I hope you like this. I really did enjoy making this. As you can see I'm Thankful for my family. My wonderful husband who I have been married to for 10 years. Our 3 kids, Lana, Daniel JR and Chloe. Love them all to the moon and back!!

Father's Day Soda Pop Goodies

Today I want to share what I made my hubby for father's day. This 6 pack of soda pop bottles filled with some of his favorite sweets & snacks.

I bought a six pack of cream soda and cleaned them out really good, let them dry out for a couple days and had the kids fill up the bottles with all the yummy goodies. I then made a belly band for each bottle using the new brights collection designer series paper stacks. The case is also covered with the brights collection designer series paper. I also made a rosette to put in front of the case. I used the Happy Father's Day stamp from the teeny tiny wishes stamp set.

The cute tags I made using the new stamp set Cycle Celebration and the Decorative Label punch. The stamp of the soda bottle is what inspired me to make this 6 pack of goodies for my hubby.

Here is the top. The little heart is from the create a cupcake stamp set. The mini scallop is from the new A round array stamp set and punched out with coordinating 7/8 scallop circle punch.
