COASTERS

This coaster set was a gift from First Niagara Bank to the volunteers of student banking. Thank you back to them, it was a nice gift. I can slide the pieces out of the coaster and change them up whenever I want. They were meant to hold photos. I can also pop the tag off the front and change out the ribbon if I choose.

EASTER FAVORS

I made these to put at each seat at the table. I filled them with candy each person liked. There is a tag with their name on each.

HAPPY EASTER!

I made these cards after seeing something similar in my blog hopping. I made them all the same way different pattern paper packs. I love how they turned out. Hopefully the recipients will love them just as much! I think I would love anything that involved this chocolate bunny!

BIRD HOUSE

I bought this bird house at Target in their dollar bin. I knew I had to get it to alter. Its amazing how much you can actually spend in the "dollar bin" ! There are so many possibilities.

ALTERED ABC BOARD BOOK

I found these ABC board books in a 3 pack at the dollar store. I decided I would play around and see what happened. I made this for my niece Kaylee. I think next time I will slice the pages apart then cover them. They dont close very well with all the paper in it. Will look really cute on her shelf with pic of the family in it. She lives in NC and us in NY :(

It uses the Daisies #2 die cut, you need 4 of each size. I wrapped a bendy straw with ribbon for the stem. I dont know how long it will hold, I may make more but use a large brad in the center to hold the staw on and then cover the back with a circle to hide the brad.
