Love your monogram Cards and Pen set! My mother would say it was the oil painting of Magnolia's I gave her the year I graduated from High School. I painted it over 30 years ago and she still has it hanging in her Dinig room.

scrappingnana said...

What great prizes. Love your projects also. I made a new baby scrapbook for my granddaughter when she had her first baby and she loved it. I also made a mini scrapbook for another granddaughter for Christmas a couple of years ago and she cried when I gave it to her. I love making gifts for people, especially when they appreciate them.

Wonderful monogram set and box!! I love making gift card envelopes fully embellished!

Gorgeous set!
My most favorite gift that I have ever made was.....well there are two actually. I painted a mural in my parents house and I sewed my Mom a doll complete with a mop, tattered clothes, head scarf and a tag that said 'A Woman's Work is Never Done".

Millie said...

Beautiful work!
My favorite gift that I have made was a wreath decorated in spring green cloth, yellow gingham and paper roses! What I would like to make are the card sets and boxes. I have not done this yet but just yesterday was trying to finish something up so I could try a set!

Shirley said...

My favorite gift I ever made was actually not a paper crafting gift...I am relatively new to that. I made a flannel quilt for my daughter, and she was so happy with it...all pink and girly and very soft and comfy! Thanks for the chance at some absolutely amazing prizes...and for the eye candy you gave us...that card set is lovely!

Pink Heather said...

My fav gift i gave to my Mum was a wood mini album. It was really hard to give, LOL, I wanted to keep it for myself.

Ellen Sutton said...

OMG!! What fabulous prizes!! I would love to win one!! My favorite gift I have made is the monogrammed cards. I made some for all the girls in my office group (10 sets of them) for Christmas a couple of years ago and now that is all they ask me for!! I love to make them though! Thanks again for the awesome chance to win!

Shelley Malone said...

I just love that little set of cards you made!!

My favourite gift that I've made for someone would probably have to be the first scrapbook I ever made for my mom. I look back on it now and think it's HORRIBLE, but man, did I pour some love into that thing. She keeps it hidden away; I prefer to think it's because she treasures it so much and not because I cut up a bunch of irreplaceable pictures. : )

Lea L. said...

What a cute little gift set! I just love it! Great job!!

~Lea

My number one fave would have to be the door signs I made for my nieces a few years ago. They loved them and they are still hanging on their doors!

Marsha said...

Happy Birthday !!!
If we are talking paper crafting gift, I would say my favorite is to make a scrapbook for each of my kids for their 30th birthdays. 3 down, 3 to go. The books recall their lives from baby to the present.

Jennifer Hansen said...

When I first started scrapbooking I made the hubby a mini album about being a dad. Looking back it's hideous style wise, but I am still proud of it!

Stampin_melissa said...

Oh Carolyn, I love all your artwork! Those gifts are awesome! I can't think of a favorite gift I've made, but I'm starting to ponder making a altered clipboard for my DS's school teacher. Fun part is that her favorite color is green, so I can work with some pretty green shades!

Love your card set! : )
My favorite thing I've made is a paper/photo collage that is in an old type drawer. (kinda hard to describe) It hangs in my entry hallway. It was inspired by an Ali Edwards project.

Anonymous said...

The best gift I ever made (in my eyes) was the Card Sending Kit made of felt with cards, envelopes and a matching pen in it. Took me 6 hrs to sew it (I had never used a sewing machine before) and I gave it to my Mom for Xmas. She always gets the most special gifts, since she is most special to me :)
Thanks for the chance to win!

Judy said...

Love your card set.

It's hard to pick a favorite gift. I do a lot of machine embroidery on clothes for my granddaughters and on baby gifts.

Happy Birthday, Cammie!! I love your giftset, especially the colors! My favorite gifts I have made are my calenders that I make every year with photos of our family.

News Around The Blogs said...

I made an eye spy quilt for my friends new baby, it was so hard but turned out soooo cute!

Emily Wilson said...

My favourite gift I have every made was for my cousin when he was getting married. I had crafted up an album using pictures from many magazines about their lives from the days each of them were born, up to the day they met, to the current day, and then getting older, until they were grandparents (even though they are currently in their late twenties.). It was worth quite a laugh since it was so close to their actual lives, and they loved it! What a nice gift set! Thanks for the opportunity in the draw!

Lida said...

The favorite gift I made was a baby book of my gf baby pictures very rare and it looks so pretty!!!

Lydia said...

I made my husband a book for Father's Day. It was a book about what he's taught his kids, like how to laugh, play, work, love. On the front cover it said "Thank you dad for teaching us to...."
Then each "chapter" had a subject.

Great Box and carrier. Perfect for a teacher gift!

I would LOVe to be able to quilt.... I just think that quilting is such a comforting thing to be able to do! (I should ask a quilter if it is comforting....they may think NOT!! lol!!)

aimado said...

I have made many gifts so I dont think I can pick a favorite. I know that I get the most enjoyment out of giving a completed scrapbook to someone. I think everyone should have there own to enjoy even if they dont scrapbook themselves so I do it for them!

Nancy Wyatt said...

Love your gift set! My fav was a book I made for my DH about us meeting and falling in love! hugs from Conroe, TX!

Danna said...

My mom and I made a scrapbook for some close friends whose house had burned down. They lost all of their photos, but we had pictures from the couple's wedding, as well as photos of their children growing up. The best part was giving them the gift and seeing how happy they were. It was a moment full of happy tears!

Alma de la Rosa said...

I Scrap So All Moments Are Remembered!!

Lysa said...

My fav gift to make were scrapbooks of my nieces and nephew for my sister who didn't have time to scrapbook them herself!

Lora Oliver said...

Hmm.. my favorite gift? That would have to be the lamp shade I made my sister for Christmas. It only beats the scrapbook I made my brother because I had to postpone some of the pages for his book and I feel it is unfinished. The lamp shade though was super cute. Sister loves flamingos, LOVES them. So I took a really neat flamingo stamp, enlarged it and traced it on a white shade, them painted it with fabric paint, sponged the rest of the shade lime green and then put spangled hot pink and lime green trim at the bottom and a matching ribbon on top. She squealed when she opened it which was EXACTLY the reaction I wanted!

Becca said...

One year I made chocolate covered cherries for my grandma. She loves candy. I think I enjoyed giving them to her more than she enjoyed eating them.

KellyinID said...

I love making gift tins the most. I also love to make little gable boxes to. I'm actually finishing up a little coffee tin box for a birthday gift for one of my Sunday School Girls. Inside I put two kits to make her own Jewelry and also gave her a small fresh water pearl necklace. I hope she likes it. But I do love decorating these tins the most. I also really hope to win this give away to for I need some sort of diecut machine..LOL..I think all teachers need to have them...

Donna said...

Beautiful card set. I love to make stationary sets. I like being able to match them to the individuals personality. And I always know that it is something they won't have.

Penny Kentosh said...

My favorite gift was an accordion album I made for a delightful couple who accompanied us on a cruise in the Mediterranean. It recounted our adventures together in pictures and with journaling. I should have made two but it's always fun to look through it when we visit their home! What a great blog hop! Thanks for being part of such an amazing prize giveaway!

kelsey said...

It would have to be the quick little mini albums I made of my kids for their grandparents for Valentines day. My mother-in-law cried over it.

Kay said...

what a great card holder! Also thanks for the opportunity to win such fabulous prizes.

Bree said...

Love the notecard set and presentation!
My favorite gift was the 'Mommy and Me' album I created of my daughter and granddaughter. I altered a lot of the photos in photoshop to artsy them up, and each set of pages was then decorated around the look of the photos whether it was soft focus black and white images, colortinted, or sepia toned, etc.

Olivia M. said...

This is such a great gift set--as always your stuff is so inspiring.

Melissa Sauls said...

I think that my favorite handmade gift I would like to make is a super-embellished shabby chic looking container...covered with flowers and antique-like embellishments. I've seen items like this but I'm just not creative enough to do it myself! :)

BoxerBrats said...

The favorite gift I have made would be the heritage album I did for my husband's grandmother. I made a copy for her, and then one for each of her daughter's. It was a huge hit for Christmas time! Everyone loved it and fought over keeping it, and that is why I ended up making 6 more of them! It was nice to have a gift so loved.

WAHOO!! Are you seriously giving away these UBER FAB prizes? WOW. I'd be happy to own any of them. It may be hard to believe, but I'm one of the few people who DON'T have a Cricut! I feel left out at all the crops. PLEASE let me win and become part of the 'in' crowd. :o)

casualfriday said...

The gift I would love to make is a scrapbook for my one and only niece. I was supposed to document the first year of her life and give it to her on her first birthday but since I'm not a scrapbooker, it's kind of hard to get going. She just turned 2 so maybe someday she'll get it!

Deidre Mooney said...

First of all..Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day! My favorite gift I have ever made was a paperbag scrapbook for my mom and Dad for Mothers day and Father's day..it had pics of all the grandkids and the three things I like best about Grandpa or Meemaw in it..they cherish them. Thanks for the chance..Deidre M

Unknown said...

I just finished decorating a card box to give to my friend for her birthday. When it was finished it was just adorable and I would like to have kept it myself! But I know she has been wanting a place to store her handmade cards for so long, I just know it will get lots of use.

Hi and ty for a chance to participate. I love your monogram set...I was thinking about making a MOMogram set..But my FAVORITE gift I ever made...was an adorable album from my card club ...you see I was the kid in the club at 50 years old...the other 7 ladies were all 70-80 with one being 65. This was our last year of the club ...so I took a zillion pics from that year and used some from previous years. My fav lil old ladie won it and truly made me cry as she was so so happy to get this album. I mean...it was a priceless moment in time. Miss her dearly too..

I made a t-shirt for my Mom with the faces of both of my daughters stenciled on the front. It turned out just as I envisioned it. I'd love to be able to do that with the Yudu, it would be so much easier.

My favorite gift I ever made was an altered picture frame for my dad of him, my sister and I. He loved it and that made me proud.

I love to make all types of handmade gifts. They are my favorite to give. Everyone who knows me knows that I am "crafty." So I look forward to their reactions when I make something new.

I loved making a quilt for my sister and making a 3/6/9/12mo photo frame for my other sister (niece). I love that they appreciated my work.

I'd have to say the best gift I made my husband was for his second Father's day which was a t-shirt that I stamped on and wrote a message on "from" our 1 year old son.

My favorite gift I have made was an album I made for a friend who had knee surgery. I got pictures of her and her family from a family vacation and made an album for her and gave it to her in the hospital, so she had something to look at and keep her mind off the surgery.

Colleen said...

Cute stuff! My favorite gift I've made so far was to help my 82 year old grandmother make a custom scrapbook for each of her children--my aunt and uncles.

Kari D said...

Once upon a time, a girl friend and I started this quilt for another friend. She and her husband owned a Christmas Tree farm and we found the perfect pattern that showed pine trees. SIMPLE, EASY, FAST! So, 15 years later the blocks are sewn, but still no quilt! MAYBE I should break down and do some pillows?

I would love to make a beautiful album for someone as a gift. I usually only make cards, but I think it would be fun to try and scrapbook!

Deena Wuest said...

GORGEOUS! My favorite gift I've made was a mini album of fun trivia facts for our family. :)

Deb Neerman said...

Wooohoo, Cammie, LOVE your gift set! Way-to-go, Kiddo!

My favorite gifts to make are vintage-inspired paper bag albums loaded with lots of old photos and vintage ephemera. People really love to receive these and they're so personalized that you can't miss!

Have a great weekend!

~Hugs, Deb

Cute set! My favorite gift to make is also a set of monogrammed cards.

I made a mini book for my husband that I loved. I love mini books!! :)

My favorite gift to make is an assortment of cards and I give this to my Mom and my MIL. They appreciate having hand made cards to give out for birthdays and other occassions.

A few christmas' ago I made two 8x8albums of my kids each year at christmas time. I gave them to my in laws. Which reminds me that I need to update their album. Thanks and have a SWEET day!!

Dave and Brianna said...

I would like to make a scrapbook for the grandparents/parents someday-when I have a lot of time!

Anne said...

My favorite gift that I made was a memory scrapbook for my in-laws on their 50th wedding anniversary. They were so moved by it. I had their friends mail notes and photos to me (my in-laws unaware) and I then compiled and stamped a wonderful book that we presented to them the day before we had a party for them. My m-i-l tells me how she periodically pulls out the book and looks at it time and time again. It was a pleasure making the gift.

ElectricMomma said...

My favorite gift I ever made was a photo album for my grandfathers 90th birthday. It began with old pictures of him and my grandmother and followed his life through until the present time. This was long before I considered myself a scrapper or a paper crafter. It was really special to both of us and came back to me when he died.

judy said...

I have a few favorite gifts that I
have made: a box of handmade stationary and cards for a friend, an illustrated story for my
husband and a collection of affirmations/compliments individually
cut out and placed inside my daughter's Valentine's Day card.

Unknown said...

The favourite thing(s) I've made are the 8x8 albums for each of my 2 kids' first years of life I made to give to both sets of grandparents. It was a lot of fun to make (a lot of work though!).

Cindy H. said...

It would have to be a box I made for my mom that has sides that are all scrapped. The sides flip down when you take the lid off. Love your gift ensemble.

loftylass said...

What a lovely gift set this is.
My favourite gift I ever made was a stitched picture of The Last Supper I did for my church - I loved stitching it and they were very happy to receive it.

A box of cards makes a wonderful gift and it is a way to make use of all the creations!

Robin Wade said...

I think my favorite gift I ever made was a little 6x6 album for my hubby with pics of all four of our girls for valentine's day. :)

Thank you for the wonderful inspiration & chance to win some great prizes!

Tammy said...

Thank you for this chance to win one of these wonderful prizes! The best gift I ever made was a book for my mom this Christmas. I did a whole book of digital layouts (I do both digital and paper scrapping) of my kids and had it printed in a 8x8 stitched bound book for her. I know it meant the world to her when I saw the tears running down her cheeks.

lorena b. said...

Love the colors in your set. So far, I've made 2 of my sisters Harley Davidson mini-scrapbooks (they both ride their own) and my other sister a 40th birthday mini-book and they all seem to really like them. They were a lot of fun to put together-I start, they finish!

Sandy Hill said...

My favorite gift I ever made was a photo quilt for my daughter. It had pictures from the time she was little, through high school, marriage and her son (my beautiful grandson), plus her grandparents and great grandparents. Thanks for the opportunity to win some fabulous prizes. I would take any one of the three you have listed.

Tamikko said...

Love your set, especially that there is a matching pen :)
My favorite gift is something I haven't made yet. I dream of making a fairy tree from paper. Just something I have always pictured and would love to make.
Thanks for the chance to win. I look forward to checking out more of your blog.

Lisa Escamilla said...

Although it wasn't a paper project, a favorite gift was when I painted a wine glass and painted a matching tile as a coaster. I love making gifts especially with paper to share with friends and family.

MeanMommyAmy said...

My favorite gift is ongoing - it's the scrapbooks I'm making for my kids. I love to see them look thru them and remember all the things we've done.

Kerry Johnson said...

Happy Birthday Cammie!!! How cool to see your blog as part of the hop! Congrats! My fave gift is homemade jellies to package up and give out!

Unknown said...

Hmm...I haven't made a ton of gifts, but my go-to is to give a card set. I love making sets for a person based on what they like; it's sooo fun! =)

Unknown said...

The set of monogram cards with the matching box is really cute. I really like the black with the pink. Super cute! Thanks for the chance to win some amazing products!

JessicaK said...

Amazing and happy birthday Cammie. My fave gift I've made is one that I've just finished - a counting book for a friend and her toddler. The gift I'd like to make is a travel journaling set with note cards, journal book, carrier, etc. I just can't seem to find the mojo for it yet.
Thx for chance to win.

I started scrapbooks for my nieces and nephew three years ago as a gift for my sister law. She loves them, and every year I give her pages to add to it. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

The favorite gift I made is a mini wedding album for my aunt and uncle. They didn't know I was making it and it was a complete surprise when they got it. They had misplaced their wedding photos in a recent move and this album contained the only pictures of the wedding. Hopefully they find the official photos, but my aunt was incredibly happy to have the mini album.
