Handmade Gift Ideas

Hello Everyone! I wanted to share 3 past projects that I have created. I wanted to share the 2 kinds of ornaments that I have created as well as a decorated frame.

I created this frame by decoupaging pattern paper scraps onto a plain frame. I cut the letters on this frame from Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge. This is perfect for grandparents who have tons of pictures of grandkids. :)

This ornament is my favorite. I was inspired by this video from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nq3JoFfoP8&feature=player_embedded. Instead of Glitter It though, I used Mod Podge. I also used plain cardstock instead of vinyl to add the letter.
This is perfect for the girly girl in your life. :)

This last ornament is perfect for kids. I used my Cricut markers to draw the letters on the fabric. I made about 17 of these, so I used my Gypsy to arrange them to take up the least amount of room. I drew them out and cut them with scissors. They don't really fray, because I ironed interfacing on the back. This also helps with keeping it in place while you're drawing with your Cricut.

Can you believe that tomorrow kicks off the 12 Days of Christmas??? I'm hoping I'll be ready. :) LOL! I am in need of some guest designers to help me out! Leave a message on my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/KatelynCo.EKS) or email me (KatelynCo.EKS@gmail.com) and we'll get a date for you. :) Come back tomorrow for a Christmas project!! :) ~Emma

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Here are a couple of things I am thankful for:

Health
Family
Home
Friends

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving/Black Friday! ~Emma

'The Kids' Scrapbook Page

This is project number 13 and and challenge number 12. For this challenge I had to make something with a kid theme or make something with a kid. Since I don't have any kids, I just made a scrapbook page of kids. This is the last project of the day, but we still have one post to go: The post of the giveaways/contest. YAYY!! Come back soon for the big announcements!!! ~Emma

Beach Scene Card

Hello everyone! Sorry that it has been so long since my last post. On Saturday I set up my digital frame in my room with pictures of my cards. It makes me think of the people who I sent or sold them to. I will post a picture tomorrow. On to the card. I made this for a relative who loves the beach. I thought that the tag with the word 'DREAM' was the perfect touch. She said it was almost fit to frame. :) That is a compliment. ~Emma

Spring Birthday Card

Happy Saturday everyone! Today I went paintballing with my dad and brother. It is my brother's first time because he just turned old enough to go. So in honor of that I thought I would show a birthday card. It is also a spring birthday card because on our way home it felt like spring/summer. I hope you guys like it and I hope it made you smile and hope that spring is on the way! ~Emma
