We had our YW in Excellence event this week. We presented these cards to each of the YW to congratulate them for all of their hard work this year. I scanned the cover of a personal progress book, edited out the YW medallion picture that was in the middle, printed the cards, and then attached a YW chocolate coin to each card. They worked out pretty nice.
Good birthday mail from Kristi (28 yards of nice)!

And today I had a creative Thursday with my friend, Angela (nice). She made her Christmas cards and I made my Secret Santa gift for work. I drew the name of the nicest woman. She's so sincere and caring and devoted (nice) but she has the wildest college stories I've ever heard (naughty). I knew just what I wanted to give her: some of my favorite Christmas wrap.
But a tube of wrapping paper didn't seem like much of a gift,
So I pulled out my Cricut and used up a bit of an already opened package of wrap to make a dozen coordinating gift tags to go with her wrapping paper. (blurry, but nice)
And then I made her a card. The inside says: To a girl who is BOTH! Love, your Secret Santa. (I made the envelope from wrapping paper with my Cricut. I love that machine!)

Barb, I've never wanted a cricut more than after seeing all that you do with one.
I love your YW in Excellence cards, too.
You're just so darn creative! Thanks for sharing it all.
My resolve not to buy more scrapbook stuff is dissolving as I read your post. How absolutely precious.
Okay, seriously, I have a Cricut that sits in a box under my desk because I have no idea how to use it, so I think oh, I'll just cut it out with scissors. Time to get acquainted! I should have had you give me a tutorial this summer.
I'm glad someone's YW in Excellence was *nice* since mine ended up much more on the *naughty* end. :(
Your projects, handouts and all of that for YW are always so great, I'm sure the girls keep everything you give them.
Creative Thursday eh? I love it! Your tags are darling, what a good idea.
That paper is so cute. Especially with the great things you did with it.
I love this creative goodness. I am sure that your coworker will love this idea and your creative gift!
Again, I must confess I think you're a wonder. I've never even heard of a Cricut. But, I was most excited about when I clicked on your link for chocolate medallions and I saw the "Baby Dear" book. I loved that book as a girl and just seeing it made my heart contract.
Cute!
