Gifts

I had a post all typed out.. and lost it! So now I start again.

I love making gifts! This summer I made a gift set for my Aunt Rosie. I presented her with a set of 6 cards, a post-it holder, decorated pen and paperclip, nugget tin and a frame all in a coordinating gift bag. She LOVED it! She was showing everyone who came over (we had a BBQ that day) and days after she was still talking about it. It feels wonderful when a gift that you put so much time and love into is appreciated!

Please excuse the crappy pictures. I am working on finding a good location and better lighting to photograph my projects!

The Gift bag

The Post it holder, pen and paperclip

Her birthday card

The set of cards

The nugget tin

And finally the frame (though there was a picture of my Mom and my Aunt in it when I gave it to her)

All paper, ink, stamps and ribbon are from Papertrey Ink. I also used stickles, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, craft paint (from Wal-Mart), Heidi Swapp flower, Imaginesce Flower (I think) and misc rhinestone brads.
