ME Mini Scrapbook

I made this a few months ago. I found this AWESOME pink houndstooth/herringbone (like) print gift card holder at Michaels for like $1 or $2. I purchased it knowing I wanted to make something with it. Then after seeing mini scrapbooks at a local craft fair I knew what I wanted to do!


I used one (black and white) 9 x 12 patterned paper and one hot pink 9 x 12 sheet. I cut them both in half (long way) and then folded the accordion style. (about three or four times- enough to fit into the tin) I used a glue stick to adhere both papers together. This is a tricky part when making this album, getting them lined up together and then creasing the papers again so it lies semi flat.


After it dried, I added pictures and journaling to the mini scrapbook. I cut the corners of the scrapbook so it could fit better into the tin.

Faux Pearl Bracelets and Necklace

I've been meaning to make some pearl pieces for a while now (like a whole year- I have lots of different colored pearls) so this weekend I finally got the creative juice to make these! Hope you like 'em. I LOVE them. This is my new favorite necklace. Its Hot Pink faux pearls with a silver bead in between, all held together with a pink chain and lobster clasp in the back.



These are the bracelets. (Only the pink one is part of a matching set- the necklace above)

Vintage Gold Flower Bracelet and Necklace.

I made some jewelry this weekend. I woke up really inspired and since its been so long since I made new pieces I took advantage. This set is part of the Vintage Collection.

This is a GAW-geous Vintage Pearl Gold Flower Necklace. It is long and you put it on by slipping it on over your head. I did not put a clasp on this one (mainly because I didn't have a gold clasp) But it also falls perfectly over the chest area, which is the style for necklaces now.


This is a Vintage (Faux) Pearl Flower Bracelet. Its made with Stretch cord so it fits anyone!

Personalized Compact Heart Mirror

I made this for my close friend's birthday. Using Mod Podge, letter beads, a heart earring and aluminum flowers. To make sure this mirror stays extra strong I used E6000 glue under the pink heart (what was originally an earring)

Craft Mama DS Game....

Ok I wouldn't be a good craft blog if I didnt blog about this Craft DS Game.



I dont own a DS and just now heard about this game, so I dont have a review about it. But here is a link for a review. Maybe the Nintendo Folks want to donate a DS to Sellz Cute Things along with this game, I have plenty of time nowadays and could give it a review!....You hear me Nintendo?

Cute Envelope Purse (or Clutch)

Look what I made! I've been working on my crochet skills all summer long (after being taught by my campers this summer) I'm so in love with it. I used a bright yellow button to contrast the beautiful teal color. I used a "special stitch" which is "sc, dc" throughout the whole row (or bottom portion of the clutch/purse.) Then its "sc" for the top flap only and its decreased to make the triangular shape. Sorry for all the sc/dc lingo folks- but my fellow crocheters will understand it.
