The Ultimate Scrapbooking Tool? Having a font made from YOUR handwriting, of course! Purchase using the button at the top right side of this page.

My favorite application - making a font of my kids' handwriting. My son is just 6, so I made a '2012' font for him - he filled out the form himself. Now I will always be able to go back and see how he wrote his name and words. So much fun, and so easy for you to do.

Here are some details:
The Ultimate Scrapbooking Tool - Create a font from your own handwriting, or the handwriting of your children! Your handwriting is turned into a font that can be used on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Once purchased, a template and instructions will be sent out to you. You will need to print out the template, fill it out, scan the completed document (or mail it if you do not have access to a scanner), save it and email it to the address provided. Once received, your font will be generated and sent to you as a .ttf file. Then you install it on your computer!

Reindeer Noses!

Have you all found a great site called Pinterest?!? I have been looking through and finding so many sweet ideas in the last few weeks. Recently, I found this idea, called Reindeer Noses and I thought it was a perfect way to use my little reindeer holiday stamp.

With a little baggie, some paper and the reindeer stamp, these cute little favors will be a great addition to my son's holiday party at school this year. I filled them with 8 Whoppers chocolates and 1 red pretzel M&M candy.

Merry Christmas everyone!

It is almost daily that I get asked if I sell ink pads, and I can finally say that they are in the shop! ColorBox has been my favorite ink pad since I can remember, and I am pleased to offer them now in the shop.

There are Full sized pads and Mini pads. Here is the detailed information... the inking surface on the MINI pads is 1.75 inches x 1 inch, and the inking surface on the REGULAR pads 2.75 inches x 1.75 inches.

ColorBox ink pads are filled with loads of juicy color that lasts and lasts. The colors are so vibrant and are acid free. If you see all of the cards and examples that I have with each listing, those are all made with ColorBox inks - love them!

I heart my new pattern from Amy Gaines! I ran to Joanns and found yarn and rushed to make it right away. It was super easy - my first crochet pattern that I have ever made! It didn't take long at all either, she has so many cute patterns... wonder which one I will get next =)
