happy birthday owl

I made this card for a little boy's birthday. I used scrapped paper and my sis's cricket machine, which is a great invention by the way. The cricket can cut out many character designs and fonts to my liking and anyone can make all sorts of paper things.

flower badge, version two

It took a while to make these badge holders since I had to save the medicine caps. I also was picky in what type of color I would save and I also had to get some badge holders to glue the flowers too. Woo hoo, I was able to make 4 flower badges this time around. Two are gifts and the other two are mine. I've had issues on one of the badges where the flower came off. The ones I gave away reported no problems, so it must be me. I do tend to be a little rough with my belongings.

love cardmaking

I heart making paper things. The love card was all made from scrap paper leftovers. I have a sister who loves scrapbooking and she had these lux paper just waiting for me to make a card out of it. Well, any chance for me to get creative I will do. It took me about 1 hour to create, from idea to the final product.

diy badge holders

The badges above are homemade by moi. I cannot take any credit for the idea of these "green" diy (do-it-yourself) badge holders. The idea was from a traveler nurse that worked in my unit. A dear friend made her a flower badge out of medicine caps. I found them to be inventive in recycling evil plastic caps. Many of these medicine caps are thrown in the trash and to live forever in a landfill. So why not get creative, save the caps and make a flower out of it. The scary part is, I didn't have to wait 2 or 3 weeks to collect my medicine caps, just 2 work shifts! My goal is to make flower badges for my unit to any coworker who is interested. To glue the pieces together was easy as 5 minutes. Hopefully they will take my offer because throwing away medicine caps are another waste product for an ever growing landfill. (-_-)
