    You know, it’s funny you posted this, I have been trying all day to make something for my Mom and have had such unluck with it. :(

  2. Carlee #2225 says:

    That is such a great article! Love the recipe holder!

  3. Michele L. says:

    I like all the inspiration but am definitely going to give the A-frame a try. I may even go as far as doing this project with the kids at school.

    Hi May,

    My mother is getting a floral bouquet made with my Cricut and Accent Essentials. It is posted in my profile. I also posted three pictures of her Mother’s Day card made from a paper bag. I sure hope she likes them…..

    Oh, this is SO perfect. I have just moments ago started on a project. I took a class last week, in which we made a very cool mini-book. I am using the same technique for a Mother’s day gift. I showed this book to my friends last night - who are NON scrappers. I told them that I was going to do one as a Mother’s day book and they liked it so much that we are getting together next Sunday to make them together. You can definately count me IN.

    Great challenge! Count me in!! I am making exploding boxes for my Mum and DH’s Mom, I think I might also do some cards. I love that recipie holder too so maybe I might go a bit crazy and do a couple of those too!!! Who knows!!

  11. Leslie Buhl says:

    Are we to post our project at the Fiskars Crafts website and a link here on this post or is posting the pics to our gallery good enough. Thanks!
