Everyday Enchantment Clipboard

Where do I start? I wanted something really usable to keep my grocery shopping list and my coupons. I remembered I had picked up this 6x8" clipboard from the Dollar Tree a while back and so I decided to embellish it with the new Sale A Bration paper; Everyday Enchantment.

These are mostly all the same colors that I have in my kitchen! Now I can just put it up on my fridge, write down what we need and after I go through the coupons in the Sunday paper, I can just slip them in the envelope on the back! Whala, its all together and I just take it with me to the store!

For the back, I just sealed a kraft envelope and then slit open the top/side. I also just added the adhesive in the middle on the reverse side so that you can really slip your hand in and grab all those coupons.


Thanks for looking today!

Twitterpated Birthday Card Organizer


I am just in love with this new paper pack! Twitterpated! Lots of great colors and so feminine and just makes you think, 'tea party' and 'spring'. Love it! Two of my favorite things!

I used the Two Tags Die and Sincere Salutations for the front cover, along with the Blossom Bouquet punches to layer on top.

Look how adorable these patterns and colors are together! Lovely!

I almost always add an extra page to the backs of my organizers to keep some anniversary and sympathy cards on hand. Here I used the Four Frames stamp set and the Decorative Label punch. My favorite things about Stampin' Up! = Stamps and coordinating Punches!! ;)

School Pictures

Here's a little something I've been working on. School pictures for my family. Unfortunately for my family, I cannot just send out pictures! They have to be embellished and given in something cute. But that means that sometimes it takes a LONG time before they get any. ;)

These super simple matchbooks are a great way to share pics. And these include both this year and last years photos! Oh yeah, and soccer too. ;)

Here's my oldest! Cutie pie! I left the pics super simple, just adhered them to the pages and then wrote their descriptions. Names, age, year of school.

Hope you like this little project! They were super fun and I know my family will love them! ;)

Birthday Card Organizer

Ooohhh so pretty! I just love this new stamp set! Elementary Elegance available January 24th with Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration! You can earn it for FREE with a $50 order! This stamp coordinates with the Curly Label punch, one of my favorites! ;)

Birthday card organizers are one of my favorite things to make! They are super easy, and make such great gifts, and are one of my best sellers on Etsy too! Again, I used the Night and Day paper pack (it's discontinued so I'm trying to use up my stash! And making these organizers are also a great way to do that!) Plus black and white color schemes are always fashionable.

A couple years back I acquired this calendar pdf template online. I've used it over and over again! It's great!

Here you can see how great these look with cards inside. Such a simple and easy way to stay organized. And when you see that perfect card for someone you can just grab it, put it in your organizer and you're ready when their birthday rolls around!

Prayer Journal Gifts


I always enjoy making these journals. They are quick, easy and always look great! This one was made with the now discontinued, Night and Day paper.


I generally add 3 sections in my journals. I used the round tap punch to make the labels. Works perfect everytime!

Also for this one I used the polka dotted acetate pages that are included in the Night and Day paper pack. So fun to have the clear dividers! You could write a special scripture or quote on the first page so you could always see it behind the acetate. ;)

The beautiful scripture stamp is from Clear Dollar Stamps. And the cute little cross is from Making Memories.

A few tips for making great journals is to always use a heavy chipboard for both your front and back covers. This increases their usability and durability so much! I also use my bind it all to add the spiral binding. I am considering changing to the Cinch. I know there are some real debates about which one is better. But I really think they both have some pros and cons. ;) Maybe I'll do my own product comparison one of these days. ;)

Hope you have a blessed day! Only 20 more till Christmas day! ;)
