Hair Bow Frame

I found this cute idea while wandering through Hobby Lobby one day - an empty frame with ribbons to hold hair bows. The price tag was $30! Sure, they always run sales and coupons, but (a) I knew that I could make one and (b) I knew that I could make it for WAY cheaper (even if I got it for half off at Hobby Lobby!). I found the generic frame at Wal-Mart for $3.97. It was empty and in a display with some posters/matted photos. I had the ribbon at home, which I believe was even given to me after one of my baby showers?! If I owned a staple gun, I would have stapled the ribbon to the back/inside of the frame but since I don't own one, I used Weldbond "More than Great Glue!" - one of my favorite products, it has a forever home in my kitchen junk drawer. Viola! A cute, easy way to store Ryann's ever growing bow collection and as a bonus, it looks really cute as a decoration hanging on her wall!!

Princess Castle

I REALLY wish that I could take credit for this gem but, alas, I didn't make it. My best friend made this just by looking at a picture of another one. Well, ok, she made TWO of them - one for me, one for herself. I just LOVE this and can't wait to get it in my scrapbook!!! Below is the link to the 2-page layout picture that she used to make these adorable castles!

Owl card

To buy cards, even just blank cards, is so expensive! I don't have much time to make cards, but I try to make a few here and there - mainly to save money but also because I have so much scrap booking stuff that I have everything I TO make them. Here is a simple one that I made to send to my mom as a Thank-you from Ryann. I am obsessed with owls these days and this adorable stamp was found at Wal-Mart after Valentines day for TEN CENTS! How could I pass it up?!?!? I cut the stamped owl out and used pop dots to give it some dimension. I used Glaze gel pens for the hearts and the beak to give it even more dimension.
