Here's a little gift I made up for a teen girl at church who had a birthday earlier this month.

She loves to write so I decided to give her a journal gift.

The journal came from Hobby Lobby -- love that store!

I included the Joy Dare cards from Ann Voskamp and a fun pen!

I clipped the cards together with a fun (painted) clothespin adding one of my crochet butterflies on top.

I made this little teacup card for a tea-lovin' friend --- a little "thinking of you" on the anniversary of her mom's passing on.

The cup is actually a pocket of sorts and inside you'll find...

....a tea bag shaped evnelope (made of wax paper) with a tiny note tucked inside.

I paired it with a beautifully illustrated Emilie Barnes book and a bag of homemade French Toast Biscotti!

I recently saw this tissue paper/wax paper gift wrap pin and decided to try it out on a "thinking of you" gift for one of my book club friends.

I used bright blue tissue paper for the hearts -- to match the bird tag I attached to the top.

I used the free word art from Word Art Wednesday for this week and made me a set of Easter cards.

It was my first time making crinkle ribbon -- lots of fun!!

I really like that you can coordinate your ribbon with you project using (in my case) the same ink pad that I inked the flower up with.

Here are some links to crinkle ribbon tutorials:

I made four cards in this design.

Supplies used on my cards:
