Key chain

One of my favorite gifts to make for friends and family is a key chain using my Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio tools. They are so easy to personalize with photos and paper.

I made this one for my Mom for Mother's Day last week.

Wizard of Oz Midori

I finally got the Wizard of Oz Midori for my son finished. There is nothing quite like knowing a project is complete. I think that's why I have always loved mini albums and now Midori's they are little treasure troves of pretty paper, cute embellishments, fun pictures and life!

I love this picture on the little charm I made, how cute are those Munchkins.

The cast had a Cabaret to celebrate how well the show was going. It was a blast.

Sneaking backstage to take photos of his costume rack.

They had a performance on New Years Eve so Linden and I got the kids noise makers, party hats and sparkling apple cider.  The last show was so bitter-sweet. 

A wind up cast party and the cutest gift from the Director Barb.

Look at all this goodness, I love the washi tape on the edges!

Giving Thanks

Happy early Thanksgiving to my US friends.  I made these place setting for our Thanksgiving dinner which is always earlier here in Canada.  I used the Epiphany Crafts Savvy Shopper kit which had the Round 25 stamps and Bubble Caps in it.

Epiphany Crafts meet my Happy Planner

I had so much fun making some planner flags with my Epiphany Crafts Pennant tool and the new stamps that coordinate with them.  First I stamped them all on some patterned paper.  

Then I added some stickers and the coordinating Bubble Caps and added them to my planner.

I love how they turned out.  For this week I am using the October The Planner Society kit for my MAMBI Happy Planner.

I would love to see how you use your Epiphany Crafts tools in your planner!

Into The Woods

Into the woods,

It's time to go,

I hate to leave,

I have to go.

Into the woods-

It's time, and so

I must begin my journey.

I have decided this year to make a Midori for each of my son's shows, I completed one for his Cinderella show last month and this month I am making one for his Into the Woods show. He is playing Rapunzel's Prince. I love the song Agony he has to sing, so funny!

I am using a beautiful black LoveNeen Dori from Etsy you can see her shop here https://www.etsy.com/shop/LoveNeen?page=1

I made a charm using my Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Round 25 and coordinating charm.

I added a plastic folder from the Daiso store.

I made three inserts for inside the Midori, I love how this Crate Paper Wonder collection paper went perfectly with this dori.

Thanks for stopping by.

Faux Fori Madness

This summer I definitely caught a little fauxdori madness.  If you don't know what a fauzdori is it's a traveller's notebook cover.  Usually the traditional Midoris are made from leather so the ones made from fabric or other materials are called Fauxdori. They are the perfect size for using as mini albums, journals, planners pretty much anything. I love them.  Here are a few I made over the summer.

This one I made as a notebook for my purse to write down ideas or notes on the go.

This one I made as a gift for a friend.

This one is a little travel journal. The fauzdori I bought from the Cakepaperie shop on Etsy.

You can see more about my Midori Madness on this quick video on my Youtube Channel.

Have you hopped on the Midori Madness wagon yet?

Thanks for stopping by.

New Key Chain

I love making personalized key chains with my Epiphany Crafts tools.  I have made them for friends, family, coaches - everyone except me lol.  

I decided to make one for myself so I printed out a smaller photo of my family and added it into a charm with the Round 25 tool.

I also found the perfect sticker and made a tassel from embroidery floss.

I love it and can't wait to add it to my key chain.

Thanks for stopping by.

Rainbows and Unicorns

I usually make something for my son's classmates/dance mates at the end of they year. His dance friends are always doing the Unicorn in photos - it all started last year when my son made up a unicorn dance move and now they all pose like unicorns its so fun lol.  Here's a photo of some of them:

I had a bunch of charms from Epiphany Crafts so I made a charm that says "Always be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn then always be a unicorn."

Then I had to think of something to attach the charm to and my son said something with rainbows since unicorns and rainbows just go together.  I had made some fun tassels last month and thought some rainbow tassels would be perfect.

If I had thought it through, that I would have to make about 24 of these I might have decided on something different but since I had all ready started I knew I had to finish them lol.

I really love how they turned out and can't wait to give it to the girls.

Thanks for stopping by.
