Love for the Grandkids!

My mom has 6 grandchildren. 4 Girls and 2 Boys. They all call her Grandy! For a gift, I put this little idea together!
My sister's family is on the left and mine on the right. I painted the blocks black, then used mod podge for the scrapbook paper. Grandy's love is vinyl.

I also added a letter for each child's name. My two youngest are both K names, that is why there is only one K.
I only used double sided tape for the pictures... this way it is easier to change out the pictures as the kids get older! My mom loved it!

Tree Tag Blanket

Here is my other tree tag blanket. Funny story... this was the first one I have ever made.  When I was sewing, I accidentally sewed all the tags on the inside, instead of the outside.  I was so upset!! But, I guess I will never make that mistake again! I love doing the tree and the leaves by hand. I think it really adds something to the quilt.
On the back of this one, I sewed together 4 squares. I just wanted the baby to have a little bit more textures.

This was all made from fabric that was left over from other projects! I love when it works out like that!

Ladybug Tag Blanket

I came up with this idea a long time ago, but I have not had the time to actually do it until this week.  I actually made this for a friend's baby that was born 6 months ago! lol. I just made my own ladybugs and stitched them onto the background fabric. Then I added the ribbon to it all! I love these ladybugs! I cant wait to make some more!
For the back, I just used black. Nothing really special.

A Baby Gift

One of my good friends had a baby this summer and I wanted to make her something that was personalized. So, I just kinda played around until I came up with this idea.  He room is painted yellow and her accent colors are pink, green, and blue.  I just happen to have this board and paper. I painted the board pink, then put the paper on with mod podge.

I did the same thing with the letters of her name. Except, with the E, I used glitter.  I also made the little flower for the dot of the I. Then I just glued the letters on the board.

Last, I added hooks and the ribbon! I just love the way it turned out!

Diaper Cake

This is only my second diaper cake I have made. It was for my best friend, Amie. I did have some help, from Trisha and Mallory! I have some more ideas that I would like to try.  For now, this is the best I have done! lol.

Picture Block

So, I won't lie. I stole this idea from another blog. I made this way back at Christmas time, and for the life of me, I can not remember what blog it came from! I am so sorry!
**UPDATE** I found where this idea came from today! Its at

But, this person had a great idea... I just made a couple changes to it! It was really made to hold a mini photo album, but I never got around to that part! lol.  The square part of my stand, I added pictures of all my mother-in-laws grand kids.  I love the black and white dots! They are super cute!
