Peg People: Presidents

I know these aren't the greatest of pictures.  But do you know who these peg people presidents are?!

Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

Amazing what a little paint, pipe cleaners and felt can do!

Grandma Mini Album

My mom and my MIL love handmade items from me for gifts.

Between birthdays, mother's day and Christmas, it's getting a little difficult to come up with unique ideas.

Until I found this ADORABLE tutorial for grandma mini albums using my Silhouette Cameo.  

Krafting Kelly at Finding Time to Create has given fantastic step by step instructions for creating your own words or you can just download the grandma file she's already provided!

She has answered lots of questions and shows off her album here.

and make sure to check out her princess mini album, it's an awesome display of why you should also buy a Silhouette!

I'm not very creative with stickers and rub-ons.  And in all honestly, I was getting a little burnt out on handmade Christmas by the time I got around to decorating these two albums.

but both Grammy and Granny liked them, so it was worth the time and effort!

Happy Creating!!

Felt Food: Soft Serve Ice Cream in a Waffle Cone

The title kinda says it all on this one.

You can find a tutorial on Hannah Hoosier's flicker page.

I wish I could figure out how to make a swirl like a real soft serve...
