«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 750 Newer› Newest»I like making mini photo albums for my mother and mother-in-law to keep them updated on their great grandchildren! On my back burner is a wool quilt for my son made from wool skirts and dresses I wore in college (in the 60's!).
I love to make mini albums for family members showing how my son has grown up each year. I usually give them as Christmas gifts.
My favorite gift I have ever made was for my MIL. It was a mini album for her with the grandkids in it. She loved it so much!
Great idea to do a pen too.
I'd love to make custom Tshirts or bags, so winning a Yudu screen printing system would be wowee!
I made my daycare provider a piece of framed art that she immediately hung on the wall!
I made a name frame for a neighbor who had her first little girl after five boys! I would love to make some for my own little girls :)
Your monogrammed gift set is adorable! I love the card holder - such a great idea for end-of-year teacher gifts too (geez, I'd better get on that!).
Your question gives me a chance to brag on my dear daughter. She "made" one of my favorite gifts. It's a little wooden sign that says "Love grows here", and it has her handprints on it. Well, OK...her teachers in preschool made it, but her little handprints are what made it so precious to me - it's outside in our garden now!
Thanks for all the crafty inspiration!
Happy Birthday, Cammie!
A gift I would like to make for my mom and all her siblings is a photo book of all the old family pictures. My grandmother passed away 4 years ago this week and the family pictures are still sitting in albums. They need to be scanned ASAP. I don't want to lose these memories.
I made a little calendar with die cuts corresponding to each month for my stepmom. It was soo much fun and so well received!
My favorite gift that I have made... I made my mom and MIL altered AOL cd boxes with pictures of my kids in them. I kinda wish I wouldn't have given them because I love them so much!
I'm trying to learn crochet, so I'd love to make some poncho and some cute stuffed animals for my daughter! My next project!
I made an album for my parents 40th anniversary party. My siblings and I threw them a hoe down party. It was a lot of fun. Jenny
I LOVE your project!!! Here's hoping that I might be lucky enough to win one of the great prizes so I could maybe create something like what you've done. As far as a favorite gift I have made, well, I learned how to crochet when I was 16, and so for Christmas I made my brother an afghan. I didn't have a pattern, or a way to measure how big the bed would be, so I just guessed.... It turned out GREAT. So great, in fact, that it was big enough to cover their queen size bed...when the afghan was folded in HALF! I had made it TWICE the size I needed to! While the project seemed to take forever, it's still my most favorite "gift" I've made!!
Love the monogram set. My favorite gift that I made was a mini album for my husband for our 25th wedding anniversary. 25 things that I love about you.
I'd love to make a cute bath set like I see Lauren Meader do all the time. she blows me away with her creations!
Love yours here!
I love the colors/ PP that you used! Perfect!
My favorite gift that I have ever made was a set of stamped onsies and matching gift/memory box that I made for a friend's baby shower a few months ago. I am so proud of that one!
Lovely monogram set...the colors are great! I enjoy giving the gift of my cards to friend, neighbors, and loved ones...it's a thrill to the giver and hopefully to the receiver!
Thanks for the chance to win.

I love making scrapbook pages for my Mom. I know she enjoys them over and over again.
My favorite gifts to make always have cookies in them...I just like to dress up the homemade goodies I make. Thanks for a chance to win.
Terrific project.
My favorite gift was a scrapbook I made for my in-laws 50th anniversary.
Baby shower gift for SIL.. Loved making the bouquet with the little baby socks, hats and onesies.. A lot of fun!
I love this set! My DD needs some cards and I plan on making her a set. Thanks for the idea
I enjoy giving handmade cards. Any occasion... Just because. What an awesome blog!
I made a countdown to christmas calendar last year that I was pretty proud of :)
I would love to make all kinds of albums and mini albums for family, I am such a slow scrapper, maybe if I ever catch up with my albums I can slip some in. lol
I love to do woodworking and my fav gift ever given was a big wooden bunny.
A scrapbook I made for my Dad for Father's Day.
I haven't made many gifts, but my friend ooohed and aahed over her "bun-in-the-oven" so that was a fun gift to make & give!
Hi Cammie! Your cards are beautiful - love the yummy colors. Just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday - hope all your wishes come true and that your family spoils you rotten!!
I like to make card sets best. I haven't done monograms though. That's will be on my to do list now :)
Thanks,
Amy
Beautiful card set! I love the color combo.! Thank you for your inspiration!
Holy Moly Cammie,
these are amazing prizes!! Wow.. Well, I'd have to say that my favorite simple gift to make for someone is a crochet scarf. Mainly because that's all I know how to make, other than cards.. LOL..
Hugs,
Alena :o)
My favorite gift I have ever made was exploding boxes of pics of my daughter for my mom and mil for Mother's Day.
Happy Birthday - I hope all your birthday wishes come true.
My favourite gift I have made is a mini album for a close friend.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Great set of cards, I love monogramming - it's so much more personal. What great prizes!!! Very exciting.
I would have to say my favorite gift would have been a clock I made and embellished.
The monogram set is so elegant! Thanks for the inspiration. For me, I'm going to give an album to my teenaged daughter for Mother's Day, to encourage and affirm her as she struggles with the typical teenagers' search for individuality.
I think I like making personalized note cards for people the best. They are useful and every time the person uses one they think of me. :) Thanks for the chance to win!!
I would love to make a gift set like that! It's gorgeous.
I haven't gotten into the cute mini chipboard albums because I feel like I have so much personal scrapbooking to do. But they're perfect gifts.
What a gorgeous set! I will be making a Mother's Day wall hanging for my Mom and my Mom-in-law. Can't wait!
I love making card sets presented in a decoupaged wood box that can be used later as a keepsake box. just so fun!
I love the set you made...great colors. The favorite gift or gifts I have made are the cross-stitched Christmas stockings I made for my grandsons. Thanks for allowing us to visit your blog as a stop on the prize journey.
I once made a picture puzzle from wooden blocks and 6 favorite 8 X 10's of my sister's family from our bi-annual family reunion. It was such fun to make and even more fun to think of her family working together during Christmas holiday putting all the scrambled pieces together!
incredible prizes
amazing blog and magazine
sse6@juno.com
My favorite gift I have made is a mini album.
What a great gift set! Last year I made a surprise box for my Mom, with pics of her and my 2 sisters and myself from younger years. She loved it. (Mom's are like that.) Made me feel good for making it for her. Thanks for the chance to win!
my favorite gift i ever made was an afgan that i made for my husband while he was away in VietNam....it kept me warm and close to him that year...
Harriet
Happy happy birthday to you!! What a beautiful gift set! I've been making gift albums for people but the best one has to be for my mom - a way of thanking her for all that she has done for us and for the countless ways she loves us. I'm hoping to get another one done by this mother's day.
Thanks for the great giveaway contest! =)
i would love to make a whole food basket gift theme gift. only problem, i am not a good cook/baker!!
Wonderful blog page! Thanks so much for the chance!
My favorite gift I've made are the scrapbook layouts of my ancestors. My great-aunts and grandmother really liked them. I love your monogrammed items!!! Will have to keep something like that in mind.
Michelle
My favorite give I made was a Scarecrow for my sisters front porch. It turned out great! She appreciated the hard work.
Every year, I set out to make calendars for my family. Good intentions, but no gifts, yet.
hmmm, favourite gift I have ever made? Well, in papercrafts that would be the scrapbook album of my youngest niece for my sister. In the non-papercrafting category, an African themed quilt for a dear friend who hails from Malawi, Africa.
Thanks sooooo much for the chance to be entered into the big drawing. Love your card holder you made.....
I think my very special gift I've ever made was two photo albums of our mom of photos from her lifetime. I made them for my sister and brother and gave them to them on Mother's Day.... Boy were they so surprised when they arrived as a secret in the mail.
big hugs.....
Peggy
I made calenders at christmas, one for each of my parents. They both were crying with joy on christmas morning. It was very nice
Love the monogram set. Pink and black is my favorite. My favorite gift I have ever made is the one I am making now. I am making each girl a scrapbook of their college graduation. Can't wait to finish them and give it to them.
Robbie
What a great set and I love your color combo. What a great gift for a bridal shower or a new neighbor moving in.
i have made large fabric tote bags for several of my friends. and i love it because they actually use them, so i know they love them.
I just made post it note holders for my friends at work. I really enjoyed the process and love how they turned out. So right now they are my favorite gift.
love the monogram cards and box!!
I'm still pretty new to the altering and making projects but my favorite so far has to be the explosion box i made for my mil a few mother days ago!
favourite papercrafting gift I made was a scrapbook album of my youngest niece, to her Mom, my sister.
Yep - 25 is a good number ... stick with it.
LOVE your note card set - so pretty and useful. Keep on inspiring me!
I have to say the best gift I made was a wall art for my mother. It was a wedding picture of her parents, a letter written to her in Slovak by her mother and the best part was a five page family history that I tucked inside an envelope on the back of the canvas. She treasured that gift which made all the work so worth while!
Thank you for this awesome opportunity!
I made my MIL a scrapbook commemorating a vacation we took together. She always appreciates a handmade gift, but she loved this one.
What a very sweet set!
The best gift I've ever made was for my BFF just a few weeks ago! she's the Queen of Cupcakes! So I made her a cupcake out of clay in a single muffin tin. I embellished it w/a whole bunch of vintage-style buttons & charms & such (it's on my blog) & she just loved it. I had so much fun making it that I plan to do one for my mom, sister, mother-in-law & myself for mothers day!
I love your gift set...
I saw this beautiful scripture box on a blog - my goal is to make some of these for my friends.
Thanks for the chance to win the Cricut

My fav gift that I've made were personalized christmas planners for my mom and sisters. I would like to make a desk set using Lauren Meaders Timeless Templates - might be this years holiday gift. Love your monogram set - gorgeous!
My favorite gift I've made is a scrapbook for my cousin who was expecting - it was to document the 1st year of her new baby. Everything was done all she had to do was add journaling and pictures.
super cute cards, I always love monogrammed stationery! Happy Birthday!
The best gift I ever gave was a surprise 80th birthday for my Mom.
Love monogram set.
I gave an altered clock with their family pix on it to everyone of my friends last xmas... It was made with love.
thanks
rowee
what a gorgeous gift set!!
My favorite gift I've ever made for someone was recently...I made a card set with a holder using Lauren Meader's Filed with Flair Timeless Template. It was so much fun and the recipient loved it!
That is the cutest idea for a teacher!
What came to mind wasn't something I received but rather something I made for my daughter & her friend. We were traveling to Disney a few years back and I made autograph books for the 2 of them. They lit up everytime a Princess or Character signed it!! I even got a thumbs up from Mickey!! When we got home we took small pictures from the trip and incorporated them into the books. My daughter still loves to look at it ;) I love the gifts you made!! Wow!
Love this gift set!
My favorite gift was a baby scrapbook album for my first niece for her first year! Yes I did her entire first year!!!
Beautiful project -- love that paper!
I made alphabet books for my son and my nephew... Definitely tops on the list! Thanks!
Happy Birthday. Love the gift set and the colors are beautiful. My favorite things i have made are recipe boxes and my albums.
Favorite gift I made is a cross-stitched bookmark
for my Mom for her bible. Thanks for the chance
to win!
It wasn't paper-related, but I made the cutest apron EVER for my sister this year for her birthday! I could hardly wait to give it to her!
goodness, I can't pick just one! Every gift is so unique, specially tailored to the person being gifted to... but I know my favorite person to GIVE a gift to is my husband :)
loving your monigrams! I think my favorite gift I ever gave was to my siste. I made her a mini album of the Flower Show that we went to together.
The favorite gift I ever made was a scrapbook page of my son on a frame. It was hung on the wall of his bed headboard. My son loves it !!!
Cute gift set! My favorite gift to make is a card holder that is made out of a brown lunch bag.
I'm currently working on a quilt for my husband and I can't wait until I finish it and give it to him! :)
my fave gift i have ever made was a box of assorted cards i gave when i first started cardmaking. i spent months getting all the different cards together and the gift was so appreciated that i keep getting asked for the same gift each year for christmas
My favorite gift that I made for someone was an album called Grandkids....made for my Mom with some fun Fancy Pants papers! I think it was my favorite because I know she loved it soooo much!
The last gift I made was actually a Party Favor for a baby shower. I wrote a cute poem asking "a favor" to light a candle and say a prayer when the baby is born. Wrote a heartfelt prayer, decorated a glass votive holder with candle and decorated a favor bag to hold it all. All pieces were monogramed and coordinated. Took forever to make 27! It was worth it when they turned out to be such a sentimental hit.
The most favorite gift I ever made was a huge string art wall hanging that I made for my Mom. It still hangs in the house today. She loved it, and made sure everyone knew I had made it for her.
Great blog...thanks for letting me look...
Teena
Your monogram set is gorgeous! I decorated a BE box, it has a couple layers of pull out drawers! I keep all my little embellishments like crystals and the like in it!!
Thanks!
Happy birthday!! my favorite gift I made was a decorated birthday calendar for my grandma. she treasured it and it made me happy to make for it for her.
I would like to make mini scrapbook albums for my family. They would really like that.
my favorite gift was a mini clear album for friends after their commitment ceremony. They really loved it, and it makes them happy to have it out to share.
I'm just getting into making gifts....so my favorite has been a birthday card that has pockets that have 3 masculine and 3 feminine birthday cards that can be used by the birthday person to use. It's a gift that keeps on giving!
You can see what I mean on my blog: http://stampingwithprincess.wordpress.com
Wow, that set IS a perfect gift! One of the favorite things I've made was an album of my goddaughter's baptism. It was so meaningful:)
One of my favorite gifts I've made was a glass vase that I stamped on, heat embossed and then used glass etching cream on. It was so pretty! I stamped the work "Inspire" for my dear sister-in-law who is a teacher!
My very first class I took was a BoBunny Halloween album made from white paper bags with handles. I duplicated it for 3 nephews children. I believe that was my favorite project gift.
Cammie, great project as usual. The favorite gift I ever made (that I got the best reaction from, anyway), was a scrapbook for my sister and brother in law. I asked everyone to send me pictures and journaling, prior to their destination wedding, and then I put it all together in a scrapbook. They were both in tears because they had no idea, I had done something like that.
It's hard to pic a favorite. I love making cards, but I like other crafts too. I know I want to learn how to quilt...and recently I made a crocheted & sewn baby dress, mary jane booties, & a stuffed bunny rabbit for a friend's new baby girl. That was lots of fun!
THanks for sharing your talent with us and for the chance at the great prizes!
Laura
I love making gifts for my friends and family, and have since childhood. But I think that my favorite is the one that I will give my children when they are grown- their scrapbooks. I love scrapping the moments of their childhood, and hope that the books will keep the happy memories of their childhood and their family alive long into their future.
thanks for giving us the chance to win such fabulous prizes.
Renee (Stampinground@cox.net)
I would like to make a family recipe book for my cuisine-challenged sister, but I never seem to get around to it...
I give handmade cards for birthday and holiday gifts since I am the only paper crafter in my family. Everyone appreciates them and my aunt tells me she has a hard time using them since she's prefer to keep them for herself.
Wow, this bloghopping is grazy!! I love it to get this new inspiration. I like your blog.
The best gift i 've ever made was i think an album in the shape of a castle for my little nephew. His mom loved it. It was so nice, that it was hard for me to give it away (shame on me!)
be blessed!
Love your set, Carolyn. As for my favorite gift I've made - that is hard to pick. One I've made over and over again is tie-dyed baby onesies. All of my friends and relatives get them when they are expecting or have recently had babies. I've dyed dozens of onesies over the years and now it's kind of expected of me!
I'm always making gifts, but my favorite thing to make was this last Christmas -- I made a 12-month scripture flip album for the 10 most special family & friends. It was a gift from my heart.
I love your cards and gift box -- the colors are so bright and cheerful.
I made a paper bag album a few years ago for my BFF. I still love that thing!
Jolene
What a cute idea! I am going to make some. THere is a special teacher at my daughter's school that I want to give her something special.
Ro from Seabrook, TX
my favorite gift is my sewing machine, my daughter(and her daddy, LOL) gave to me last year! I love it! And almost everything I sew is for her!
Love these monogrammed (sp?) cards and the box...My favorite gift I have given was a quilt I finished while in labor with my daughter...and yes, it went to her :)
baby 2 bride album for my eldest
I have two favorites. First, little tutus for my nieces...I smile everytime I see the pictures of them wearing their tutus. Second, I made a card box full of 75 handmade cards for my sister. She is so thoughtful and sends cards for everyone for every occassion, and I knew it was something she could use. She loved it, and I was so thrilled.
~Lindsey
Favorite gift I've made? A large 12-month album for birthdays, anniversaries, etc., filled with 80 handmade cards, envelopes, stamps, pens. Even the album was handmade with gorgeous jacquard upholstery fabric, and tied up with a ginormous gold ribbon. It took me a year to do that and it got destroyed in a Florida Keys hurricane.
a mini album about my boys, for my husband...
thanks for the chance
You have done an amazing jot on the boxed set. A couple of years ago my very best friend moved away. She was having personal problems so I decided to make her a mini album. It was to affirm our relationship and also acknowledge her many, many qualities. It was my very first mini album, I loved making it and have not stopped.
Cheers, Irene :)
Gorgeous project Carolyn! I think my favourite gift that I've ever made was a personalized calendar with pictures of my son for my Mom. I think she still has it hung in her art studio.
Thankyou for the chance to win!
My fave gift Ive ever made- A beautiful box of handcreated cards for my friend, that I keep replenishing when she runs out!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I turned 25 again last month :) What a fabulous prize package! My most favorite gift that I ever made was a name-tag photo book for my hubby :) He loved it!
I love making mini album for gift. I can see that they are very appreciated by the receiver.
Love the monograms! I just recently made a "house" album for my family and I love it because I know my kids will cherish it for years after we've left Morocco!

Your card set is adorable! I love those colors!
The best gift I ever made I think was a keepsake box that was also a holder for thank you cards for my best friends wedding. he loves and treasures it still and it warms my heart to see it each time I visit her as it is on proud display.
The best gift I ever gave that wasn't anything creative was a surprise birthday visit to my then boyfriend now hubby, who was living away in London at the time! His face was just the picture!
I would like to create a huge canva collage with pictures and scrapbooking items for my sister ;-)
Happy Birthday Cammie!!
Great sets you have made there.
My favorite gifts are the scrapbook albums I made my parents for their 70 th birthday a few years ago.
i would like to have the gift of being able to complete my hand made projects....i am always adding and am always inspired to change or redesign...this blog hopping is only adding to my problems(!) - what a problem to have.
The monogram cards and the matching pen is gorgeous! The colors are so "me" :D
I would love to make a cover for a 12x12 album and give to my mum. She doesnt have an album so that would be something that she needs. I just need to save up to be able to buy all the stuff i need for it :) But some day i will make one for her with out a doubt.
Hugs, Daniela/Neliz

What a BEAUTIFUL Set....I adore it! The colors are fab for sure!!!
I love making jewelry sets...esp if the main component is hand crafted like from paper or clay or something!
I love the monogrammed gift set. My favorite thing I made for Mother's Day is an explosion box.
I love to make mini albums for friends and family...
thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
The best gift to make is one that reflect the reciever...you can't really pidgeon hole any one gift. The reward is seeing the looks on their faces when they realise you have taken the time and effort to do something special for them.
my favorite gifts i gave were scrapbooks for my daughters upon their college graduations. i had ALL the relatives scrapbook a page( i gave out the size of paper etc)and we assembled AMAZING and unique scrapbooks. i loved them!
I would like to make wall pictures in frames with paper crafting inside. sUSAn
I would love to make a scrapbbook of our family as kids.
Your monogram set is wonderful! i'm working on some albums - to my son and to my mother - hope it will be a great gift for her.
My favorite gift I've made is an altered clock I gave my mom for Christmas.
Happy B-day. Hope you have a brilliant year.
WOW WOW WOW is all I can say about the amazing prices!! Here's hoping I win one...
I love making and giving gifts...it makes me sooo happy x
I LOVE your card set! Great idea!
I'd like to create a special gift for my unborn baby... I plan to knit a soft toy (despite the fact I can barely knit! LOL!) and I''d like to scrap some canvases for bub's bedroom walls.
as usual your projects are amazing! what an awesome give away!!!
My favorite gift to make is personalized cards/gift for new moms. They love to see the name of their little one on the gift!
What a wonderful monogram!! It's so pretty! I'm looking forward to making an end of the year album for my son's teacher. There are only 10 children in his class so it will be easy to make a personalized album featuring each child. Thanks!!
I'm going to try and make a calendar for my grandparents this year. They'd love all the pictures of the great-grandkids!
Love the monogram set. So professional looking!
Happy Birthday!! Thanks for a chance to win. The favorite gift I have made/help make was a scrapbook for my parents. Since both my sisters scrapbook, we all had specific assignments of pages to complete. It was fun. Cathy
This year I am giving my mom a small jewerly keepsake box and bracelet I made. I love the way it turned out and know she will love it.
Great monogram set! Love the gorgeous paper! TFS!
Love the gift card set. Color combo is wonderful. My favorite gift I made was a stationary gift set for a giveaway at a SU meeting.
The person that won it loved it! That made me happy. I love all types of crafting.
The best gift I ever made was just this past Christmas. I made an 8x8 album for my stepmom filled with photos of her first grandchild. I worked on it for weeks and finished it on December 12th, with time to spare to finish other projects. Unfortunately I never got to give it to her. She passed away very unexpectedly on December 13th at the young age of 54.
Don't mean to share such sad news but it was the best gift I ever made and I looked so forward to Christmas morning when she opened it.
One year my prospective daughter-in-laws, sweet hubby,2 wonderful friends and I made Christmas presents for 98 residents of a local nursing home.
Love your gift set. I love giving stationery sets or card sets. They are useful and always seem to be appreciated.
Thank you for the chance to win!
What an adorable set and I love the patterned paper you chose to use! Those are also awesome prizes that are to be given away! Hope I win!!
It was a candle holder base and altered candle. So pretty!
Great projects, love your work!! I would love to finish a memory album for my daughter who is getting married this September. Thanks for the chance to win.
Linda
beautiful set! I have made a gift set similar to yours and I think it is one of my favs.
That's a gorgeous gift set and I love coming to your blog every day! I think my most recent scrapbook album that I gave my son is my favorite so far. But I've started another one that I like even more. Thanks for the give away. It's so nice of you to think of us.
Made a painting for a friend on her birthday! She fell off her chair! It was great!
What a great gift. My daughter and I were talking about the need to have a stash of cards on hand and different ways to package them just last night. I'll keep this in mind.
I hope to make something scrapbooky one of these years. Right now I content myself with quick and easy projects to feed my creativity.
I altered a flowerpot for my son's preschool teacher's end of year gift. It was handpainted and embellsihed with scalloped trim. I did individual flowers with each children's name. We filled it with gardening stuff and it was a hit.
My favorite gift I have ever made was an "Our Story" album for my husband. I spent months on that album working in secret. In it, I told the story of our life from the time we were little kids all the way up to our present life. The final picture was our most recent family photo with all 4 kids. I hid it in his car, hoping he would find it when he got to work. I was just getting up for the day when he came back into the house crying ... He had found it when he went to back out of the driveway and spent an entire hour in the car reading it! Needless to say, he was late for work, but he says it was worth it since it was the best gift anyone had ever given him. Knowing that makes me feel better than if someone had given me a million dollars :D
The favorite gift I have every made is the one that I am working on right now. I am writing my life story for my children. It is a work of love, and is a joy to create!
Wow! What a way to end your birthday week, Cammie. Your blog is so inspiring! I love to look at your creations. Thanks for the chance to win such neat prizes. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Birthday! Hugs and Blessings!
I made a jewelery box for my mom one year. I embossed some copper (repujado) in an intricate design for the top with a frame cut out. In the frame I put a pic of the grandkids printed on canvas paper. The whole thing was aged with paints and inks. It was beautiful. I had a hard time parting with it. LOL!
What a cute set! What a great giveaway...It would be amazing to win.
Amazing project, and very generous prizes. Please count me in for a chance to win. Today's my Birthday, and that would just top it off. I makes scrapbook pages for my in-laws.
Love the gift set you made. The color combination is georgous.
The best gift I made was a altered canvas with a picture of my mom and her husband. I made it in a class at a charity crop, and gave it to her for Christmas this past year.
Love the colors in the set!
I made my husband his own scrapbook of his travels with guy friends. He loved it. :)
My favorite gift I made was for a friend last year for Christmas, I altered a cookie tin and made it into a box for holding cards and envys. I put about 2 dozen cards in it for all different occassions, I even added some monogrammed cards which she loved.

I am still proud of a box of cards I made for my daughter's teacher when she went on maternity leave. It matched her personality perfectly!
What a great idea for a gift! I need to make these!!!
wow...your set is so pretty. The best gift that I have made (along with my friends)...we completed 120 pages for 6 scrapbooks to be given to mothers who are serving in the military overseas. It was a great project and very fulfilling. Thanks for the chance. Sharon
The best gift I made so far is a scrapbook for my sister's birthday. It was my first one so it was very special. Thanks for a chance to win great prizes!
Every year I take a girls' trip with nine of my girlfriends. And as a birthday gift, my girlfriend Joyce makes us a hand-made album (mini-scrapbook) of the wonderful time we had on our tip. I look forward to receiving this every year.
Gorgeous projects! My favorite thing is alwyas changing. Right now I altering journals as gifts and love how they are turing out?
Monogram set and matching pen are such a fabulous idea and awesome gift. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love making gifts for people! I would have to say that the favorite gift I have made would be a calendar I made with glass pebbles and velcro was a favorite.

I made bookmarks using tags for my Literary Club - each one reflecting each ladies personality! It was so much fun thinking about lady!
Hi Cammie,
I love your blog and browse it often. Your projects are amazing, such inspiration.
My favorite project that I have completed would be altered advent calendars. Last fall I altered wooden advent calendars for my parents and each of my brothers. They turned out so cute.
I am making a mini album with a acrylic front and back panels. It will have a photo of each child as a toddler and as an adult.
My favorite project is my first completed scrapbook. I bought the kit from QVC in 2001.
The book starts in 1999 when I met my husband until a few days before I gave birth to our first son.
I worked on it all the while I was pregnant.
I love your gift sets! I am making two very special gifts, scrapbook albums for each of my children.
Nice project Cammie! Monogrammed gifts are always a winner.
I love making scrapbooks for people for special occasions... graduation, birthdays, retirement. They are so very much appreciated and so much fun to make!
The best gift I have ever made was an album for my siblings. I made copies of pictures and wrote the information as I remember it. There are 7 of us. This was completed in sections...mom, dad, kids and the town we grew up in. A lot of love flows through the albums.
WOW Cammie! This project is absolutely stunning!! I have never used the Anna Griffen products but after seeing your beautiful project, I am definetly purchasing some!! Don't you just love the Spellbinders Nestibilities?!
I make my mom a mini scrapbook every year for Mother's day. Between all the photos I have of my 7 sisters & brother and MY six children, I am able to create somethng different every year that I know she will love & appreciate.
Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous project and for the chance to win one of these fabulous prizes!
I want to be able to make goodie boxes for friends and families. I love some of the stuff you've made, but I always get to scared to try it on my own. Can't seem to get straight lines on my templates and make them look really nice. Hope that changes and I can make some cool stuff, not just cards!
i made my grandmother a set of cards for her 90th birthday... they were so cute and fun to make :)
I love the pink, black and white colors together, and your Card Box set is beautiful! I think the giant tinker toy sets I made for my grandsons were probably my most favorite gift to make and give.

My favorite gift I have ever made is an awesome western name frame for my sister and her husband. I was so worried about it, but it turned out so cool!
My favorite gift I've ever made was probably a huge set of paper-covered mailboxes I did last year!
My favorite gift to give is a set of handmade cards - practical and fun to make. Thanks!
Your stationery set is Fantabulous, Carolyn! I enjoy making "cards for all occasions" sets for my family and friends. I will package up 6-8 handmade cards and usually personalized the set- ie: "Happy Birthday from -----" (name of whoever the gift is for).
Thanks so much for the chance to win.
I'd love to make a 35mm Theatrical film about my Mom and give her the only copy and never release it otherwise. But make her a dvd of it too :). Thanks
Favorite gift I ever made was an acrylic album in pink and cream for my best friend...she loved it!
I created a family history album, 9 immediate family members received them. It was a very thick one, but worth doing this for them. I Could have used those giveaways!
I have too many to choose a favorite...but if I had to choose one it would be a quilt I made for my daughter I was probably only 18when I made it and it is her very favorite. I also love giving cards they just brighten everyones day!
My favourite gift was a teeny tiny bear card I sent to my Mom when I was at University. I was a long way from home and she framed it and it lived on the kitchen wall the whole time I was away to remind her of me
Thanks for the Blog Hop Give-away opportunity! Your Blog is great.
My favorite gift I made was a scrapbook for my Mother's retirement, which I had available at the retirement dinner. I left it out and asked everyone to comment inside the scrapbook on several of the pages which I had decorated with journaling spaces.
It came out awesome and everyone loved helping me create the perfect keepsake.

One of my favorite gifts I ever made was a baby scrapbook for a good friend. She was on number three and really didn't have time to create one herself so all she had to do was put the pictures in...she loved it!!! THANKS~
I think the favorite gift I have ever made was a scrapbook for my in-laws 50th anniversary. They loved it and since my father-in-law passed away shortly after it has become a treasured family keepsake.
Wow over 600 people! Love your stuff. I really want to win the cricuit LOL.
