For a Perfect Friend: Card Inspiration

I always tell my kids how perfect they are.  I don't see anything wrong with that.  They are perfect to me!  Perfect hugs and kisses whenever I need them. 

Get Well Soon: Card Inspiration

"Get Well" cards are very important.  I remember when my husband was undergoing surgery for colon cancer.  Coming home from the hospital every day to find a mailbox full of cards not only lifted my spirits, but also helped him (of course) and our girls.  It was comforting to be able to look around our home and see all of the cards displayed.

Make a "Toilet Paper Roll" Scrapbook

Need a place to show off your crap?  (Sorry!  I just couldn't resist!)  After you see this elegant mini-scrapbook, you'll never look at a toilet paper roll the same way again. 







Just start with some of these:



Next, press down on the roll and use a bone folder to crease each side.

Use Mod Podge to adhere the decorative paper to the roll and to the removable book pages.

What makes this little book so beautiful is the use of the different textures.  Notice how my BFF Nancy used buttons, lace ribbon, decorative paper, and regular card stock to create this beauty.

Talk about turning trash into treasure!
