Something for a Friend Challenge

Create Something for a Friend!

I saw this challenge and I went right up to my room to create something!!

I decided on this door hanger. 

You can't see it very well in this picture, but each flower has either a pink or gold rhinestone in the center.  The 4 corners of the saying have pink and gold gems on it and the saying is popped up two levels with dimensional foam behind the striped layer and the text layer.

I think it will be perfect for my friend's craft room!

Go check out the challenge HERE ... there is an opportunity for Blog candy along with it!

Happy Birthday

Here is a cute hat I made for the SBS 24 Blog Challenge.  This week's challenge was to make a non-card item using paper and/or stamps.

I saved the post for today because it is Dori's Birthday :)

She is 2 ... and look at her show off for the camera!

What to do with toilet paper roll tubes...

I started saving these a while ago trying to think of something clever to do with them.

I got some wallpaper from a wallpaper sample book and glued it around the outside of the tube (you could use patterned paper too). Then after that was dry I punched two holes opposite each other on one end.  I strung a wide ribbon up though the inside of the tube and out the punched holes.  I filled a cellophane bag with chocolates and put the bag inside the tube with the ribbon supporting the bag from the bottom so it wouldn't fall out.

I tied the top of the ribbon in a knot so it would hang from a doorknob and Voila!  Cute gift!

Can also be done up in a winter/Christmas design and hung as a special treat holder on the branch of a Christmas Tree.

Coasters and Trivet

So I actually DID get something done after I got done shopping yesterday.

I created this trivet and coaster set for the craft show.

Any suggestions how to price this gift set would be appreciated!
