As a crafter you know that there is something special about things that are handcrafted. You also know that there is a fine line between supplies on hand and hoarding! My daughter needed a little gift to give to her boyfriend's grandmother for her birthday. It was a great opportunity to use (yes I said use!) some of my 6 x 6 patterned paper that I have definitely been hoarding to make a gift!
Lawn Fawn's Pink lemonade was the paper that was chosen to create a notepad and pillow box to hold a hand sanitizer.
If you recognize the card sitting on top it is from this post HERE. It was nice to finally have an opportunity to use this card. Curious, what do you do with all of the cards that you create?

ReplyDeleteGood morning Tracey. This set is adorable. I love the fresh, summer papers! I send a lot of cards and give a lot of card sets as hostess gifts!
ReplyDeleteA lovely gift ensemble! Love the cheerful colors!
ReplyDeletejust adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little gift you put together Tracey! those are papers worthy of hoarding LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWe host Thanksgiving every year. At some point in the evening I bring out my extra cards from the year. I give each of the ladies in attendance a bag to take cards of their choosing home!
What lovely projects...love the fresh and fun colors!
ReplyDeleteI need to package up my cards and sell them...they are taking over my house!
Love the pattern papers....they give such a happy and friendly feel! Perfect for any grandmother!
ReplyDeleteHey! I recognize that! I'm one of the lucky recipients of this beautiful and practical gift! Thanks so much, Tracey!
ReplyDeleteA-dorable! Love those stitched mats and banners!

ReplyDeleteThis is adorable...I am sure your daughter will get rave comments about it...love the little strip of patterned paper on the inside.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun birthday ensemble. Love the card, notepad and pillow box. And what adorable papers. Good for you for putting them to good use.
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute...I love all your wonderful goodies and I am sure Brooklyn's gift will be loved! What a mom you are!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gift set!! I'm sure she'll love it and you are making room for new papers by using them! I do send a lot of my cards to friends and family, but obviously I make way more than I can use. I give a lot to my mom and she recently started bringing them to her work where her co-workers purchased many of my cards!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a super cute set!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift set! Good idea for the hand sanitizer I like that! The card is beautiful with the set.
ReplyDeleteI just used a card I made a while ago for a post that I never remembered to post. Nice when we get to use them.
Wonderful set! Sometimes it's just fun to use part of our hoard for those special little gifts and cards. You've done a marvelous job with all these goodies. She will love them I'm sure. Fun colors, bright and happy - very sweet. Bev
ReplyDeletethese are so fun... great ideas..
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic gift. Very sweet. You are smart to know that the more you use your patterned paper, the more you can buy. I think it is like buy one new pad for every sheet you use.
ReplyDeleteI love this notepad! What a lovely and practical gift! I send a lot of cards and the Newcomers Club that I belong to sends cards to members who are in need of a boost. I also give them a lot for door prizes and silent auctions which raise money for our charity. This reminds me that I need to get a box ready to send to Operation Write Home which is a wonderful organization that can always use cards. And still I have several boxes of cards. My daughters usually collect a few when they visit.
ReplyDeleteI love the lemonade and the smiley lemons! What a cute image - you framed it beautifully on the colorful patches of different papers and the strawberry note pad would make a fab gift!
