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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteOkay, 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.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteCreative 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.
ReplyDeleteI love this creative goodness. I am sure that your coworker will love this idea and your creative gift!
ReplyDeleteAgain, 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.
ReplyDeleteCute!
