More Story Dice

These story dice are for my little niece who is 1. She may be a little young for them now but she will have them when she is ready. Here is how they work...

2 or more people can play. One rolls a dice (die?) and then what ever is rolled, that person has to start telling a story using that image. When time is up (however long you want) the next person rolls a dice and they continue the first person's story but now using the new image they rolled. This is great creative play and could even be a fun car game. Each dice also has a letter stamped on it so the roller can make up any word that starts with that letter.

I stamped the images from 2 Stampin' Up! sets: Year Round Fun II and ABC Images. I used Black Stazon Ink.

These make great gifts, especially for the hundreds of birthday parties your kids will be invited to over the years.

Wedding Shower

I am hosting a wedding shower for my future sister-in-law on Saturday, which is July 4th. I did not want to over due the Independence Day theme but there are colors of red, white and blue in my decorations. I created a book for the bride and each guest can write some words of advice for her. Since this is my husband's family she is marrying into, I could fill that book up myself...just kidding! I used Stampin Up To Have And To Hold to decorate the front and each page.


As part of her gift, I made her a set of thank you cards to match the decorations I have made. This is such a simple card. Again, I used Stampin Up To Have And To Hold for the hearts and Stampin Up Wonderful Words for the thank you. I used my cuttlebug to make the embossed box.

Finally, I made table decorations and used red containers from Hobby Lobby and foam in the bottom to hold the skewers. I stamped the punched circles using JustRite stamps. I used the wedding set, the tiny letters and a monogram set. I just love these JustRite products. I also used the Stampin Up set To Have And To Hold to stamp a few images on each circle. I then glued each circle to a York Peppermint Pattie and stuck a skewer through it. I had family visiting when I made these so my sister was actually the one who arranged the skewers in the florist foam.

Magnetic Bookmarks

I think this may be my new favorite thing. Magnetic bookmarks. You will never lose your page again no matter if you are traveling or if your 11 month old grabs your book and uses it as his new favorite toy. The bookmark folds over your page and holds together through the paper. Best of all, with all the great paper there is to choose from, they can be made to match any style you can imagine.

Disney characters make a great stocking stuffer or reward for a child or adult.



Do you have a sports fan in the house? They can be made to match your favorite team colors. These would make a great coach gift!



How about an extra special gift for a co-worker, friend or family member? Have it monogrammed and pair it with dazzling sparkle paper for a one of a kind gift.



These bookmarks would make fantastic party favors. For a wedding have your monogram put on each one for a special keepsake your loved ones are sure to love. Did you just have a baby? Forget those silly cigars and give everyone a bookmark with the baby's information on it.

30 Sucks

Maybe 30 does not suck, I seem to be doing fine with it, but what a neat birthday gift. I am heading to a surprise party for a friend turning 30 and I just had to make something for her. This is a cute little bucket filled with 30 SUCKERS...get it?

The numbers and letters were cut out with my Cricut and the small 30 sucks on each circle were stamped with my Monogram stamps from Justrite stamps. I had fun making it and I hope she gets a kick out of it and does not think it...sucks.

These favors can be made for weddings with a beautiful monogram, baby showers, Holiday parties and many more. Favor bags are 3 for $1.
