Crafty Saturday

My only goal for the day was to do something (anything!) crafty.  I hadn't scrapbooked or made anything in weeks so I could feel the creative juices flowing due to my new Pinterest obsession.  Well, I achieved my goal and then some for a change.  Yay!

First up are the strawberry popsicles that I talked about yesterday.  They were so much better than I had hoped and were a perfect healthy sweet treat.  I'm definitely going to be making them again soon.

  

Yum!  Yum! Yum!

Then came some Pinterest-inspired cards.  I always keep all of my scraps when I do a project, but I never seem to use them.  A few months ago I found the perfect layout to use up some scraps.  I probably could have made 1000 of these particular cards with all the scraps I do have but I stopped at 8.

  

Then came my own design, which may or may not have come to me in a dream...These were in my head when I woke up this morning so I'm super excited to have them turn out so cute.

These are second-rate knock-offs of this super adorable card and this pretty card.  I definitely need to invest in that nifty chevron paper and some stamp sayings.  They would have made these cards much more chic...



 

Lastly, a 40th birthday present for a friend whose family just got back from an Hawaiian vacation.  Ecstatic that it came out exactly how I pictured it in my head.  Hope she loves it as much as I do! (*ohana = family in Hawaiian)
