Stick Pin Swap

I LOVE my scrapbooking group. One of the fun things we do are swaps, were people sign up and we all make a # of whatever the swap is for, and then exchange. This is for my Stick Pin swap, I made flower stick pins to try something other than just beads. Then I stuck them in cork topped glass jars to look like flower pots. I hope they like them.


To make decorative stick pins all you need are corsage pins, beads, bead glue, and flowers or other embellishments (if desired). When you put the beads on just add a dab of bead glue to hold and your finished. Add to scrapbook pages or home décor. It's that simple!

Scary Bunny?


Yes, I am that parent who forces my kids to take pictures with whatever character of the season is out. I am a scrapbooker for pete sakes! You would think they would LOVE to get pictures with the Easter Bunny since it is a BUNNY. Oh but no, not even a bunny. Of course at second glance this is a scary looking bunny and to quote a favorite movie, “with big pointy teeth”!! You would think they could make a cute bunny. I mean seriously, what animal has white pupils!

Ivy Teacup Gift


I stole this idea from a friend of mine. She used Paperwhite flowers but I love ivy so used it instead. I made these for my daughters' preschool teachers. If you have not been to Crafting Rebellion it is a must! She has great ideas and is an amazing Lady.

Here is a link to her Paperwhite tutorial:

Glass Tile Necklace


Here is a glass tile necklace I made with a picture of my 2 girls. It looks better in person. I really need to get a better picture of it. I love to make these. They are so simple and make wonderful gifts.
