handmade for hc

My friend, Heather (H.C.) just moved from Huntsville, Alabama to the top of a mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee. She saw my recent blog post where I had made a onesie with a bowtie and wanted one for her little guy.

I couldn't decide which houndstooth to use (Alabama football fans) so I made two...


But then I felt as if her daughter might feel a little left out, so she got a shirt, too!


So sorry for the blurry pictures...I was in a hurry to get these to the post office so I only had a quick second to use the old camera phone.

Heather and her family (Hi A.C. We miss you too!) are taking a trip to the beach this weekend (so jealous) and she wanted some cute towels for the kiddos. Here is my first attempt at making beach towels.












Well? What do you think? I think they'll be rockin' them out! Need a personalized beach towel this summer? You know who to call!

matchbook mints

Aren't these a cute party favor idea?





You can make these in any size...depending on how you want to decorate them. Here's how I made mine:

- cut your double-sided designer series paper (DSP) at 5 3/8 x 2 1/4
- score at 3/4 and 3 1/4 on the long side
- fold and crease score lines
- add your preferred mint and staple into the short flap (I used a mini stapler)
- decorate as desired






I think these are just too cute! And soooo easy to make!
