Halloween and Harvest Blocks!

I absolutely love fall! I love the changing leaves, the falling leaves, seeing the joy on my kids' faces as they play in the leaves, the cool-not-cold weather, football, cute halloween costumes, fall colors, fall spices, pumpkins, gourds, hayrides, apples...the list really could go on and on! Here are two sets of festive blocks, just for this fabulous season!

BOO Blocks

Harvest Polka Dot Blocks

Blocks with Amy Butler's Sola

I just adore Amy Butler's fabric lines, so I was thrilled to find her "Sola" line of paper! And with her paper, these blocks turned out just as adorable as I'd hoped they would :)

Custom-Made Squash Albums

YOU choose the cover fabric and inside colors for a fabulous squash album! Each album measures approximately 5" x 5" and "explodes" open to reveal countless spaces to be filled with your pictures.

*Choose either one or two fabrics for the front and back covers. (see fabric choices at FLICKR) If you don't see a fabric choice you'd like, covers can also be done in paper and I have countless paper choices!
*Choose color of card stock for the inside of the album. I'll match the shade of your color choice to the fabric.
*Contact me with the number(s) your cover choice(s) and your color choice (any color) for the inside.
**Also tell me your ideas for the theme and any title, etc. you'd like on the cover. Through our conversations I'll do my best to make sure that I create what YOU want!

**All materials used are acid/lignin free!

PRICE: $10 for plain album (fabric cover, plain card stock insides)
PRICE: $18 for filled album (decorated fabric cover, decorated card stock insides)

Another Squash Album

This album is a bit simpler than the previous squash album I posted (baby themed). The insides have been left plain to maximize room for pictures and the cover is fabric rather than paper. A simple, yet beautiful, way to show off your pictures! This style is $10. Can be decorated inside and out for an additional $8.

Monogrammed Napkins w/ Napkin Rings

These monogrammed napkins make the perfect wedding/bridal shower gift or housewarming gift! 100% polyester restaurant quality napkins (**Basic Polyester linens are the true "work horses" of the hospitality industry. These permanent-pressed, soil-release fabrics are constructed for easy care and unbeatable durability**). Custom make them with any words/names you'd like! Rings can also be custom made with the color(s) of your choice. Set of 8 napkins with 8 napkin rings: $55

Paper Bag Gift Album

This was one of the first paper bag gift albums I made, back in 11/05. These albums are great for keepsakes since you can slide memorabilia into the openings of the paper bags. I have so much fun making these cute little albums! I made a sweet one with pictures of my daughter for my husband's first Father's Day. He kept it sitting out in his office to show off :)

Altered Lunchbox with Mini Gift Album

I made this "lunchbox" tin w/ mini album for a bridal shower gift for my dear friend Becki a couple years ago. She and her husband were having a tropical destination wedding so I went with that theme...plus I know Beck loves pink :) This gift was more fun for me to make, I'm sure, than it was for her to receive!

Not the best pictures, I know! This was before I got my "Big Girl" camera :)

Squash Album

Last night my in-laws hosted a surprise shower for my husband's cousin and his fiance. They aren't going to find out the sex of the baby, so I made this neutral "squash album" for them. While I was pressed for time, I was still pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm not sure if I would've added more to it if I'd had the time or not. This style of album is also called an "explosion" album because it sort of explodes when you open it - lots of places to put pictures and/or journal your thoughts.
