Scrapbooking Bookmark

These are so cute and would make a nice stocking stuffer, gift, card enclosure, gift for a teacher. You could use 3 D already made stickers or stamp, what ever makes it fun and easy for you! I love Dawn's tutorials. Great ideas!

Matchbook Note book

I thought this was cute. Be a nice gift to tuck inside a note card. Don't have to be restrained by the heart theme, any fun paper and stickers would work. Click here for the tutorial.

Water Bottle Tutorial

I am so excited about this one. This is a water bottle with an individual "On The Go" drink mix attached. In September, I am planning a special day learning a craft with my daughters and daughters in laws. When I saw this I knew that I have to make this for that day and give one to each daughter at the table. Won't this be great on the table at each place with their packets of directions and goodies? This will really add to the fun of the day!

Blessings Mix Box

This is a wonderful idea for any mix. I also can see survivor kits being packaged up this way. Click on the arrow above to view the turorial.

Starbuck's Coffee Sleeve Mini Album tutorial

This looks like a cute idea especially for someone who "haunts" Starbucks! (Interesting side fact: Starbucks will be closing 600 stores across the country this year - not ONE of them is in Washington State! Hmmm, what does that tell you about us! lol) Click on the arrow in the center of the video to see the tutorial

Altered File Folder

I am forever printing out recipes, craft ideas and other goodies from the internet. You know that recipe that you want to put in your to try pile and the craft that you want to do. Then comes the time that you want to make it and, uh-oh... can't find it! That's if you remember it! lol This is a very pretty way to file these projects/recipes and keep close to hand. I can keep this out on the kitchen counter and not feel like it is clutter. I am sure you will find lots of ideas for this too. Click here for tutorial.

Making an envelope from Decorative paper

I have shared how I like to send things through the mail. They are tangible life brighteners for the recipient. This site has a downloadable template to create these envelopes. I know my grandchildren would love to receive a letter in these envelopes using papers that reflect their interests. Click here for instructions and downloadable template.

Ever have trouble finding the right ribbon to match for that crafting project? Here is a clever tutorial for coloring that ribbon to match!
