These are all post it note holders I made for one of the favors for the farm themed baby shower for my niece. I bought some post it notes at Staples and kind of split them apart and put about 50 sheets in each one. I used my score pal to score the fold lines and my corner rounder to make the rounded corners. The smaller piece of paper was texturized in my Sizzix Texture Boutique, I think that really added to the item. Lastly I attached a cut out that I made using my Cricut Expression. I used my favorite cartridge for all of the cutouts for the shower except the tractor, Create a Critter. I love that cartridge!! I used a Cricut Lite cartridge for the tractor. It is called Beep-Beep. It is an awesome cartridge for anything that has wheels! Since we had invited 75 people to the baby shower, I made 75 of these favors. I was so glad when I finished. I felt like it was never going to end! In the end, I was really happy since everyone who attended the shower loved everything! It made me feel so good. Most of all I was the happiest when my niece called me after the event and told me how happy she was and how it was everything she ever wanted- she even said...it was like a professional had done it. She told me that I was the best aunt ever. That is why I do what I do. When it comes right down to it, don't we all want our children to be happy? I know she was that day.
This is the cake that my niece's cousin made for the shower. It was so cute and I know where my next cake is coming from. She did an awesome job. I have to find out the name of her business so I can let all of you know. I just love that cake!
Well, I have some more crafting to do- some birthday cards to make along with an altered lunchbox for my cousin's little girl- it is my first time doing that so I hope she likes it! I also have some jewelry to work on. A friend from work wants to host a party at her house so I can sell some there. I am excited about that. I think next time I post, I will post some pictures of my jewelry.
Until the next time,
Jasper
