SMALL GIFT IDEAS

I am sure like myself you have that special person that does nice things for you, be it a neighbor, friend or co-worker, that you need that small gift for , that isn't the regular plant, flowers  or candies.  My neighbor is just that person. I wanted to give her something a bit different and I knew she loved the flavoured Keurig coffee. In Montreal, it is very hard to find the pods sold separately but I did manage to buy her some and made a special box for them.  I used the box maker on my Crafters Companion  Ultimate Pro and I cut coffee cup shapes out of the front of the boxes.  I then made her a coffee card using an Art Impression girl friend stamp.

POP UP CHAIR CARD WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH

I love to personalize a card for close friends and family.   This is a birthday card for my best friends daughter and the pictures on the front and the inside card are of her father and family. The dog in the chair is her dog.
The stamp on the front is  from ,MFT ,whos that girl collection.  The embossing folder  and the pop up chair are from sizzix .   Hope you enjoy.

GRADUATION SCRAPBOOK PAGES

My son had so many graduations I needed two sets of  pages to cover them all.  The idea  for the high school grad page was taken from  various cards I had seen.  The collage on the left hand bottom page was an invitation for his last graduation party.

ARMY LIFE

My two sons were in the army reserves for a few years.  I saved their dog tags and added them to their scrapbook pages.  This is one of the army pages. 

SCRAPBOOK PAGES, BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS.

  My sons were born in the seventies before the age of digital pictures. Fewer pictures were taken back then  so preparing a scrapbook proved to be challenging at times.
I mapped out my scrapbook  like a book trying to cover  pages for different ages and special events in their lives.  Over the years I had gathered up small mementos  of their life which I scanned into the computer , shrank down and added to the pages.
Each book had an opening and closing page.
The following are the opening and closing pages for my middle son, Chris.
