Ladybug Lollipop Creation

I recently dived into making lollipop creations. For my daughter's first birthday, I bought a flower pot that I decorated, a Styrofoam ball, foam and tissue paper. I cut out flower shapes out of foam and hole punched a hole in the middle, then I wrapped a lollipop in tissue paper and stuck it through the hole. I then stuck the lollipops in the Styrofoam ball. It was a big hit at my daughter's birthday. It was lady bugged theme so I placed little ladybug stickers on the flowers in the flower pot.

Construction Themed Doorhanger

For my friend's baby, I made this cute little door hanger. I bought a plain door hanger from Michael's and painted it. Then I added little construction embellishments I found and ribbon and beads. My friend loves it!

Construction Themed Baby Shower Sign and Memory Book


I made this sign and this little memory book for my friend's baby shower. For the book I created pages to write down favorite parts of the baby shower, a place to put Mom's picture and a place to write down gifts from guests. I placed stickers on heavy card stock then I used tulle and ribbon and hot glue gunned coordinating buttons to the ribbon. It has a really nice effect!

Little Angel Footprint/Handprint T-Shirt

I made these t-shirts using my daughter's footprints for the angel body, and handprints for the wings. Then I used fabric paint to decorate the shirts with their names and the year. Then I ironed on letters that say "Mommy's Little Angel," "Grandma's Little Angel." My Mother in Law loves her t-shirt and they turned out beautifully. It is something that I can always cherish to remember how small my girls were!

St. Patty's Day Shamrock Projects

 I found these cute little ideas on the internet and added my own little spin on them with stickers. I love any excuse to use my children's hand prints in a project.

Handprint rabbit and Footprint duck


I made these with my two daughters using white paint. Then I cut out a bunny shaped head and glued it to card stock paper and added Easter stickers. My daughters loved seeing these on the fridge.

Handprint/Footprint Mother's Day Bag







For Mother's day I used my girls hand and foot prints to create butterflies on a bag. Then I used fabric paint and outlined the butterflies and added buttons and ribbon for embellishment. I liked it so much I made myself one too. Hope you like!
