Baby Shower Gift Bags and Recyclable Crafts

I apologize in advance for the picture quality. These were all taken with my cell phone.

These are gift bags that I made for two different baby showers that I am helping with this summer. I believe I cut out 70 boxes total. Whew that was a job!! 

We made these wind chimes in my special education classroom today. I covered an old cd with scrapbook paper and used my crop-a-dile to punch the small holes at the bottom. We tied on old beads and bells to make the "chimes". They turned out really cute and they really do jingle. :) 

I found this idea online. They are robots made from soup cans, lug nuts and different odds and ends we had in the classroom. These were REALLY fun to make. We even glued on old earrings. :) 

Shoe Box Album {a work in progress}

I've had so much fun working on this project. I call it my {shoe box album}. Although I did get the "idea" from twopeasinabucket. Kerry Barker used a 7 Gypsies library tray to make her's but it's Christmas and I need to conserve so I just used a shoe box. If I ever do another one, I will use a baby shoe box. (:

Tags using Close to my heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and dyed doilies. I'm going to incorporate more journaling spots/pages next.

The pattern paper is from Stampin Up.



A little pocket with a tag inside. I'm half way finished. I hope to be finished in a few days.

witches brew

I made Cathy a little boo basket this week. I felt like scrapping something "Halloweeny". :)

 I also got to play with her Close to my Heart Art Philosophy Cart.

I altered a tea box to make the basket and made a ribbon bow. I love the holidays!!
