Baby Shower!

A few weeks ago I threw a baby shower for my BFF Katie. I spent the week before crafting away. I made a banner that says "Amita June", the baby's name. Katie loves Winnie the Pooh so I used a lot of Pooh stuff. :)


I made two sets of burp cloths, nothing fancy but still cute. 



Then, I packaged them with a pretty little bow. 


Finally, I made my largest sewing project to date, a baby blanket. The fabric says "I love mommy. I love daddy." It is so cute! And the blanket turned out cute. Thanks pinterest for the easy blanket tutorial!

Clipboards

I knew I wanted to make a beginning of the year gift for my new team members. But, I didn't know what to make them. Well, while cleaning out around my house I found 4 clipboards. Where did all of them come from?? I made one for each of my team members. I think for my first "set" they turned out pretty cute. I am looking for ways to improve them. For one, I used Mod Podge to put the paper on and it kept bubbling up. On the last one, I used spray adhesive and that worked a little better. I didn't have any ribbon to match Mrs. Byrd's so I added some bling instead! 



You'll have to turn your head on this one. I couldn't get my picture to turn and I sure tried! After making these, I decided that I need to add more ribbon to my collection. And, I need to buy more full sheet scrapbook paper so there isn't a seam at the bottom. Here's to more improvement! :)
