Such a creative gift set! Beautifully done Cammie! I hope you had a very special birthday & bought yourself some new stamps!!
My favourite papercrafting gifts are paper bag memory books. You can pack them full of photos and use lots of yummy designer paper.
M. Hunter
My favorite gift I have ever made was a datebook..I stamped the whole thing and colored the backgrounds of each month..It was many many hours of work, but I think it was a true work of love!
The favourite gift I've made is a stationary set for my mother-in-law. She loved the personalized note cards I included, and the coordinating box that they came in!
I would like to make a quilt to be a heirloom. I aslo do hand embroidred work that I hope will be handed down.
My favorite gifts to make are altered wooden frames. I love customizing them to coordinate with personalities and styles of my friends and family!!
I love your monogram set. I am always making note card sets for gifts.
My fav gift I made was a clear paint can altered for my girlfriend's shower!!
Thanks for the chance!!
I like to make frames. I have lots of big ideas of gifts to make in the future, of course!
My most favorite gift was a shadow box for my daughter and her husband's first anniversary. I used items from the wedding and it turned out beautiful.
Great project Cammie! My most favorite thing I have ever made I am posting for the PTI blog hop tonight! I am so happy with it!
oh, I hate that I lost my note...
love the give-aways...thank you all.
I think the best and most appreciated gift I made was a mini
album for my mom who loved everything I made anyway, but this was very special to her and that made it all the more special to me.
Hmm Im inspired - I wanna make matching card-giftset like this too :) Thanks for the idea and thanks for the chance to win these prizes! :)
That card set is cute! I should do something like that for my Granny I'm sure she'd love it.
I love making gifts people can actually use. I love it when I go back and see they've used the album I've made for them. I also did a complete life book for my cousin and an ABC of Christmas book and I loved seeing her bring them down and look through them :D
How pretty, that is a great gift package! What awesome prizes being given away, that's so generous!
The best gift I ever made was for my best friend. She isn't into scrapping, but love the creations. I took her two daughters name and made the name books for her to display. It was so great to give those to her.
Your stationary set is so pretty. I think the best gift I ever made was for a birthday where I sewed several lunch bags together and stuffed them with all kinds of goodies for the b-day girl! I even include a bunch of balloons. She loved it.
Super cute gift set! Some of my fav. gifts I've made have been quilts and mini books :)
I made an advent calendar with little tins and magnets this past Christmas - fun to make, fun to give. Thanks for teh chance to win.
~Meredith
I love the inspiration I get from your blog
Thank you for the ideas about what to make the teachers this year. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
What a cute gift set!! You could send that to me since my name starts with C **HINT** :-) The best gift I have made is a baby book for my niece. I was very honored that my sister-in-law asked me to make one for them.
Cynderellaj - mn
Love your creation!
I recently made an 8x8 baby book for my sister who's due in May. The book was seriously a 'labor' of love...no pun intended LOL The smile on her face at the shower made it all worth while!
Thanks for the chance to win an awesome prize!
I'm looking forward to making a graduation album for my youngest brother. He's graduating this year and it's so weird to think about it. I was almost 12 when he was born, so the fact that he's graduating is a little hard to believe.
Happy Birthday! Most of my made presents involves baking and chocolate!
The favorite gift I've made is to be given tomorrow to my church choir. It is a 16x20 canvas wall hanging. I mod podged tissue paper to the canvas and painted it blueberry. I inked the raised area with a darker shade of blueberry ink. I mod podged some sheet music in a couple of places and the covers of our 2 CD's in a couple of places.I added a crown made from Ten Seconds Studio metal and embellished with colored glass stones. I added a pair of angel wings. I silverleafed grungeboard letters and connected the letters with curled wire that had different crosses dangling here and there.I added beaded fringe to the bottom. I'll deliver it during church tomorrow morning... I hope they like it. It took me five weeks to create. ms.cheryl
I love making journals and photo frames for others!! They love the gifts and I am happy :)
I have a 3 month old niece and two more on the way. I made cute girl clothes for my older nieces (youngest is 7.5 years old) when they were toddlers and I am anxious to make some for the new ones! Thanks for the candy! Have a great weekend! Sue-Lynn in PA
Happy 25th (snorts) birthday to you Cammie!! Hope you have a wonderful one!
What a beautiful set this is! Id love to make this, lol! But I will say the one I am most proud of of the counted cross stitch picture I made for my Mom the year before she died, the only one I did for her and had it framed. She was sooo tickled!
I made one of my nieces a flipping card file with everyone in the family's bday's anniversary's etc. She just loved it!
I made an altered book from a vintage copy of Sense and Sensibility and gave it to my sister. It was so beautiful. Part journal, part scrapbook. Vintage and beautiful if I do say so myself. It's our favorite movie so it had meaning.
I made some cute 6" x 6" Christmas albums a couple of years ago that I really liked.
I love to make mini-albums as (usually) quick gifts or other small prizes that contain photos. I find that they are very treasured.Thank you for the inspiration!
Great gift set. The favorite gift I have made was a recipe book, so a friend of mine could pass down her recipes to her children. It looks similar to a scrapbook. Of course, I used all scrapbooking supplies!!
Probably my favorite gift was my daughter's prom album. The pictures were great and I loved the papers and embellishments.
my favourite gift was a set of cards and a gift box for my son's dance teacher. she started to cry and said it was hte nicest goft she'd ever recieved!
First of all Happy belated Birthday!! I love to make cards so the best present I ever made was for my 90 year old grandmother. I decorated a metal lunch box and then filled it with various handmade cards. Best gift was to me because she loved it!!!
Oh my! I would really really love to make all the favors for my wedding, but it seems so overwhelming.
This is a beautiful set! I'd love to (have the time to) do a nice set like this for each of my children's teachers, AND all of the mothers in my life. :-D
Cute, and I need a techer gift, this would work fort that, too!
I love the baby book for my niece's first baby I had just made a few mos ago! Also, a family match game I made for my little one, complete w/an altered chipbrd lunch box to keep it all in! I want to make SO many things! A canvas painting for my girls' room & a huge memory board w/fabic & ribbon for my older daughter!
Hard to come up with just one. I always fall in love with what I am making right then and there. And knowing that someone will enjoy it makes it even better. :)
I made a mini album for my DD from the photos that her half-sister sent to her before they got to meet. Both girls are adopted by 2 different families.
my fav homemade gift i made was a scrapbook i made for my day for father's day the year before last. it was all his children and grandkids,and he always brought it out when anyone came to visit.it was his last father's day,since he passed away last May so it was definitely the best gift i ever made.i loved your project,the color choices,the elegance,and the simplicity.
I made my little sister a scrapbook album about her wedding. I went all out and it turned out great. I loved that it amazed her and that she treasures it.
Great gift set. probably my favorite gift was an awesome stationary keeper using origami paper and suede paper for the binding. I loved it so much I made one for myself too!
I love making scrapbooks for my family/friends occassions. 30th, 70th, 90th birthdays...50th wedding anniversaries. I've made so many they expect them now and love to celebrate getting older! :)
A baby mini album for a friend's daughter who was having a little girl. My friend was so happy and teary when I gave it to her to give to her daughter...it meant a lot.
My favorite gift I have made for someone is a little valentine book for my secret pal. Each page listed another attribute by starting off with "Leni's heart is..."
I would love to win.
great idea! Might have to use it myself! My favorite thing to make are mini albums for my grandmas at Christmas that have all of their grandkids in it! They love it and I love making them for them!
Cute set! I think making something I know they will use is my favorite gift to make. Earrings, bracelets, bags...and the cute cards that go with them. ;)
Fabulous gift you have made, beautiful. I enjoyed making a travelcard cover from comic book covers for my boyfriend :) Kim
Love your projects - those colors are perfect! My favorite gift to make, if you can call it a gift, was my daughter's wedding favors. They turned out so nicely and it was a labor of love for my beautiful girl on her big day.
great card, let me win the cricut please!!!!!!!
MMM Favourite gift I made - I have made a Kaisercraft Butterfly Album for a friend - but in the meantime due to unfortunate circumstances she had to leave the area without being able to tell us where she was going - so....she will get it one day.
My favorite gift has to be the wedding album I created for my best friend.
Lovely blog hop and great prices!
I'm working on a mini album for my mother with some lots of pictures when she was young.
Eveline.
The Kraft box is so beautiful! Luv it!
I love making crayon rolls for toddlers. They seem to love them!
Love just making a card and finding a perfect someone to give it to...cheap to do (well, unless you are a stamper, hee!) but oh so special! Love your color combo for your project!
Oh I really like this set! What a great thing for a hostess gift too!
My favorite thing to make is small pins that can be worn for the various holidays and such. I like them best because it makes my heart swing a little when I see someone wearing one :)
My most fave gift I've ever made was a 6x6 minialbum for my mom highlighting 10 things I love most about her.
Hmmm. My favorite gift I've ever made is actually a cross stitch picture for my aunts. It was of apples and apple pies and they loved it so much, they asked me to make a coordinating picture of tomatoes and canning supplies. But I love making card sets to give as gifts, like this one!
Gorgeous set! I love monogrammed cards. Is there a template for the box you made?
Love this idea! I'm always looking for teacher gift ideas and this is lovely! My favorite gifts to give are little mini books I make for my DH, I made him a tiny valentine's day book with photos of us and our kids and he took it to work to keep on his desk. He loved it!
Happy "25 again" Birthday! I made a candle holder for my mother-in-law one year. I loved it so much that I wanted to keep it. She never knew how hard it was for me to give her that gift.
Cammie I love the monogram set. It is beautiful!! The favorite gift I have ever made, has not yet been given yet. I make my scrapbooks for my daughter, and hope one day she will appreciate them! :)
Love the simplicity and elegance of your monogramed stationary. What I'd like to make is a decoraged box full of cards, both for holidays & blank to give each of my daughters.
Thanks for the chance to win this great blog candy and all you share with us
The best thing I ever made was a mini book for my husband for valentine's day. He really loved it. I would like to make a mother's day book for my mom, but I need to get a hold of more pics from my childhood.
My favorite gift to make is actually similar to your posted project. I decorate a chipboard box instead of a greeting card and hide a gift card inside. I've never used a monogram like you did, though. I love that idea!
WIshing for a Yudu...
Thanks for sharing in this wonderful magazine and blog fun!! I look forward to seeing more of your designs.
Last year for Mother's Day I made my first card EVER!! Thanks for a chance to win :)
I made scrapbooks of my parents life together for all 10 in my family. It was a huge undertaking but they all appreciated the work.
I love your cards.
MY best gift I ever made was an album for my husband. My husband is in AA and was celebating his 25 years in AA. We had moved a few timesfor the company in 25years so I wrote all his friends and ask they send a letter or card and picture of them for the album.
What fun. When I gave it to him I thought he would have a heart attack.
debbie peysen
Anybody would be so pleased to received that as a gift. It not only looks beautiful but will also be very useful. Favorite gift I made so far is a Altered clipboard,journal,bookmark and sticky note set.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Beautiful cards and holder! My favorite gift to give is mini-albums -- no one else in my family scrapbooks, but they love having little books to cherish!
Beautiful set! Happy Belated Birthday! One of the favorite things I have made as a gift was a mini book for my Dad on his 50th birthday. He has it on display at my parents home. :)
right now, I want to make a "chores" table for my niece my sister really need some help around the house and I think it's time my niece steps into helping her out.

Wonderful monogrammed gift set and box. My favorite thing I`ve made for gift is a dress card for my cuisine baby girl. I did not make a scrapbook albums or pages till now. But I hope I will do some someday.
Love the monogram set and I'll definitely have to check out the supplies used to make it. Looks amazing! My favorite gift I made was actually not a papercraft project but a "swinging doll" that was tole painted with a fabric dress and raffia long hair. She was so cute! I don't tole paint anymore - project setup and execution takes just too long for where I'm at in my life....small kids. Love papercrafts for how quickly they can be designed and executed and I still get the thrill of "making something". Thanks for the chance!
Beautiful set!!! My favorite gift I have made was a mini album for my mom, she loved it!
The favorite gift I've made so far has to be the album I made for my mom for her birthday shortly after her mom (my grandma) passed away. I included pictures of the 2 of them from my mom's infancy up until shortly before my grandma passed away. She loved it and shows it to everyone!
I have made a few inspirational flip books for friends. One was centered on Believe and one on Dream. Each had many techniques scattered through them with poems, saying and scipture. I gave one to a friend whose MOm had started treatment for Brain Cancer.
My favorite gift is the one I am making right now. A friend is having twins and she is not crafty at all. She began slipping pregnancy photos into a boring photo album so I began creating a photo album scrapbook for her. I am embellishing 4x6 cards with cute titles and journaling, plus leaving plenty of space for her photos. I'm so excited for her to see it...even though it's still 3 months until the due date!
my fav so far...the "Love Is" Card and Gift CD Box I made for DH for Valentines Day this year :-)He loved it too, ggg
Thank You!!!
Hi Cammie,
I love your work! I made a "thoughts" journal that had stamped images throughout and was really inspirational and beautiful, if I do say so myself!? I gave it to my sister, who loved it!
my favorite thing is a quilt made by my family in honor of my marriage to my wonderful hubbie.
This set is stunning! I made a scrapbook for my parents with photos of my kids, and I really enjoyed making it for them.
Oh, this is kind of a tough one, and maybe even a bit selfish. I want to make some canvases for the bathroom in my basement. So my gift is either to myself or my basement. Maybe it is a basement warming gift from me. (Does that qualify?) I have some gorgeous floral stamps that I am rolling around in my head -- figuratively, not literally cause that would hurt. One day very soon I will just go at it in a blaze of glory. I am sure the Earth will move or something that day!
What great prizes! the favorite thing I have made to date is these cute little easter baskets that I made using some spring paper I had recently bought.
Love the monogram cards, absolutely beautiful! My favourite paper made project was a recipe box.
I would love to have more of my Nana's costume jewelry: I made the most gorgeous black velvet wreath, covered with colorful costume jewelry. I gave the wreath to my Mom, but I wish I had enough bling to make one for myself.
Last year, for mother's day, I made my mom an acrylic album. It was the first time I ever made one! I thought it came out really nice!! Plus she loves it and has it out all the time for others to see. I had it titled...10 reasons why I love my mom.
Probably a minialbum I made for my mum, it had pictures of the whole family and she was very happy when I gave it to her!
I'm practical too and always appreciate a practical gift creation. Thanks for offering this fabulous giveaway!
Nelly
I love all the handmade gifts my children have made and even my husband. He has even made me quite a few handmade cards!
My favorite is a mini album I made for my mum a few months ago!
I love making ALL kinds of paper goods as gifts. There is just something about papercrafting -- the ideas I come up with are endless. I love your monogramed cards/giftset. Very practical--anyone would love that! Happy Birthday! Isn't it amazing how our children keep getting older but we stay as young as ever?!
I would just like to finish a project!!!

Happy Birthday Cammie. Wow, the prizes are just fab. Would love to win them! You gift is also very pretty.
I made a scrapbook for each of my 3 sisters and my one for each of my parents. I love doing it. Thanks for the great giveaway and fun inspiration.
My favorite gift I ever made was a recent photo keepsake box I made for my mother. It has a photo of her and I (my all time favorite from being a little girl), and I wrote her a really nice letter, telling her how much she means to me and has my my life better by being my mom.
My favorite gift I've made is probably the t-shirt that I stamped for my Aunt's birthday.
Thanks for the chance to win! Love your blog.
My favorite gift I have made is the altoid tins with photos from my DD#4's birth as Thank you's for the Grandmas~
Thanks for the chance to win some really great goodies:)
Beautiful set Cammie.

Thanks for the inspiration.
God bless
Giovana
Love you project. The color combo is so sharp. Who wouldn't love to get this as a gift! And what great prizes! Thanks for sharing!!
Your Monogram set is so cute in the pink and black. I love how it is now so easy to do such personalized sets! Thanks for the chance at the drawing.
My favorite gift that I ever made was a quilt for my sister when she had breast cancer. I made it in bright colors to cheer her up and she said it did. My favorite paper crafting gift was a scrapbook for my parents 50 wedding anniversary. It was fun to put the picture together and the letters people wrote to them.
Forgot to add to the above posting that I would love to be able to finish all the New Baby announcements for my Daughter-in-law and Son. Thanks again Cynde
I am a multihobby dependent and most of my favorite gifts that I have given to special people in my life have been jewelry. I enjoy beading and quite often if I remember to wear the things I have made, I will give it to someone who gushes over it.
Sara Holley
i am making a quilt for my grandauther and hope to give it to her when she graduates i love your site awsome debbie
I want to make a quilted wall hanging for my new granddaughters room. I love using felt and fabric (sure would be handy to have a Cricut to cut the shapes :))
to create little scenes.
I've been working on a 6x6 mini album for my girl friend. She has 4 children, 3 girls and a baby boy, and very little time to scrap. But she does take a lot of photo's!!
My favorite gift I gave was an album to my husband of our dog that passed away. Very special to him and to me too!
My favorite gift would be the scrapbook I made for my son's second grade teacher. It was her first year of teaching and she cried as she read and looked through it. It touches my heart that she was so moved by it and really appreciated it.
my favortite gift would be a handcrafted mini scrapbook for my Aunt
My favorite is making mini albums for friends and family. Sometimes I add the photo and sometimes I leave them blank for them to add their photos.
My favorite gifts I made were scrapbooks for my parents and my inlaws of my sweet daughter for Christmas. Thanks for a chance!
I have always wanted to make a quilt. Maybe someday...
rsgrandinetti@yahoo.com
My Favorite papercraft gift, is a mini album I made for my Uncle who is very sick with cancer. Last summer I used the poem: "What Cancer Cannot Do" and used pics from our beach trip... He cried when he received it.
My favourite thing ever was a little star shaped inspirational album I made for my niece.
Belinda
I'd love to make a scrapbook of my grandson and family. That monogram is delicious!!
Love your color scheme.. Pink and Black is an awesome combination of colors...
I would have to say my favorite gift I made was a mini album for my Mother in Law. I scanned secretly all the pictures of my husband growing up and put them in a album.
That monogram set is so cute! I am hoping to make a mini album with some old pictures of our mom, for each one of my sisters and be able to send it to them for Mother's Day!
What great cards...simple and elegant. My favorite gift that I have made was a baby quilt for my first nephew. It took me forever because I did a lot of hand stitching, but it was worth all the effort.
This is a cute little set you created. I love it! What a give a way.....I'd love to win any one of these.
I thought I left a message, perhaps, not... I enjoy making mini albums. I am working on a 6x6 for my girlfriend to add pics of her children to.
Hi Cammie
My favorite gift I made is a set of coupons for one year of special favors ou tasks 1/month. It was very appreciated by the receiver!
My parents visit once a year, they live in Ireland and we go away on vacation and each year they get an mini album of the previous year's vacation. It has become somewhat of a tradition now.
This is so remarkable and special! It would make such a wonderful gift. the colors in particular are so rich and inviting. <3
my favorite gift ia s fater's day scrapbook I made for my husband. All pictures of our daughter with her dad. he was overjoyed.
mini book for hubby. Allpictures of our daughter with daddy.
He was overjoyed.
My favorite gift I ever made was an album for my husband about us. He loved it!
My favorite gift I have ever made was a mini book about what to expect in the first 6 months of your new babies life. Friends of mine were trying to concieve and decided to take one last trip to Disneyland as a couple so I offered to house sit for them. I made the book while they were gone and left it on the table for them to find when they got home. Eight weeks later I recieved a very special call.
Love your card sets - great ideas! I would love to make a special album for each of my girls - for my 15 yr old - one of she & her friend who lives in TX - the years they spent together as friends and an album for my 10 yr old showcasing her dances strting dance unitl current.
The most favorite would have to be a beautiful birth announcement with soft, sweet animals cut out and arranged around the announcement then framed. Your gift set is LOVELY!
one of these days I plan to make a quilt with swatches of my niece's favorite clothes. told my sister to start saving them!
Very cute monogrammed card set! I wouldn't mind receiving that gift myself. My favorite gift that I have made, so far, would have to be the very first scrapbook album that I made for someone else. It was an A-B-C Wedding album for my sister and bro.-in-law. My sister had mentioned that other than the professional photo's, she had no other candid shots from her wedding. I had 3 film rolls worth (before I went digital) so I took my extra copies and made her a gift album. The ones that really get the most enjoyment out of the album are her stepsons, b/c they were not able to attend the wedding. They love to look at it over and over. Have a blessed day! :)

Something I've wanted to make but haven't yet are beach shadow box frames. You take a small shadow box, put a black and white photo at the back of it of a favorite beach shot, fill some sand and shells in it so when it's on it's side there is a "beach" in the box. Then using a decal or etching glass liquid, put the name of the destination on the glass... I would love to use the Cricut for this!! whoohoo!
Love your card set!! I can't wait to create something for my mom!!
Best gift I ever made...a homemade scrapbook album of my life with my hubby for a birthday! Thanks for offering this contest!
I'm currently working on a scrapbook for my mother-in-law of all her kids. It's definitely going to be one of my most fave handmade gifts since I'm learning a lot about my hubby and his family in the process!
I am working on a large wall hanging / collage for my dining room that represents my life. It will be an ongoing project even up on the wall.
What a gorgeous set! I would love to make a recipe box filled with our family favorites for my daughter. Thanks for this chance to win a fabulous prize!
~Brenda H.
My favorite gift so far was a mini album tin I made for my Mom - she loved it!
I love *monogram * anything! Your stuff is really cute. Thanks for a chance to win.
Hugs
Heidi
I made an altered clipboard that was so cute that I couldn't give it away. Thanks for the chance!
I love making homemade gifts for my mom. But the best is getting them from my daughter who is know 15. She is so creative. It's nice to see what she's going to come up with next.
