Baby "cupcakes"

made from....baby socks!

I made these for our little Emaline for her baby shower.

They fit perfectly in  small cupcake papers.

Her Mommy says she'll have a hard time taking them apart

to let Emaline wear them!  : )

Post it note book....

I'm giving a demonstration to other demonstrators on

the waxed paper background technique.

This is one of my finished projects.

... a close up.

See how textured the card stock looks?

...and the inside!

The technique: crinkle waxed paper, barely smooth it out to fit over the card stock and iron over the top.

This gives a great look in any color.

It has a leather look when done on brown card stock.

The ol' "Ship in a Bottle" trick...

Peel the label off the bottle. There is usually a little stickiness left on so that is where I cut the bottle to make a 'door'. Make your label & apply to the bottle. I usually use clear contact paper to apply the label. Just make sure it is stuck on well enough to go through the mail. I've had fun comments hearing how friends & college students have tried to get the contents out! Make sure if you plan to mail the bottle, you go by all the rules...such as nothing inflamable or it will have to go by land and take longer to get where you want it. Bummer....fingernail polish cannot by mailed as it is flammable. There's no end to the possibilites of what to put in, though.
