Scrapbooks for Isaac's teachers

This turned out to be a really fun project, I may have the scrappin' bug now! Isaac has 2 teachers, I made these scrapbooks as an end of school gift for them. There are pictures and little blurbs about each child(click on photo to zoom in, so it's large enough to read). I had each child write their own names under their photos. It turned out cute, and it will be a fun way for the teachers to remember their students. Now if I could just find the motivation to scrapbook my own family!

A Thank You Note

It actually looks a little better in person. I sewed the pattern on the ribbons. I am not a straight sewer it turns out. ;)

Cards

These are some examples of the cards that Angie, Emily, Mom and I made last week. We had lots of fun and spent SO much time making cards.

ShaRee's Blessing Dress

Bethany is into American Girls and she reads their stories. She likes Kirsten who is a pioneer girl that has a patchwork quilt. Bethany wanted to make a quilt for her Kirsten doll. I helped cut it out and Bethany sewed the top together, then I finished it. She decided when she got the top finished that it was big enough to cut in half and share with Bryn. Cutting a quilt in half is a big sacrifice, so that was a very nice thing to do. Now both American Girls have a quilt. Good job with your first sewing project Bethany!

Replica of Emily's card

I mailed Emily's card before I took a picture of it. This is not an exact repilica, but you get the idea. I cut the flowers from patterned paper with a craft knife or sissors. I put some Making Memories blue, white, and green crystal brads in the center of a few of the flowers.
