One of the gifts I made for my mom this year was a color idea book. I searched through my favorite color websites, Design Seeds and Photo card Boutique, for some lovely color combos, then created a little book with them.

And here are all the color combos I used. The nice thing is that you can easily add to it!

The second desktop calendar was for my mother-in-law who loves quilting! I used a cute sewing themed stamp set from Joann Fabrics for this calendar.

I made two desktop calendars this year. The first one was for my father-in-law who is a dentist. I found these adorable teeth die cuts at Pebbles in my Pocket for really cheap last year and once again decided to incorporate them. I loved the idea of using a mini easel to display it on as well!

The past few weeks I’ve been stopping by the American Crafts Warehouse Sale in American Fork, UT.

I can’t believe how good of deals I’ve been getting there. Here are a few pictures I took:

the back wall is FULL of thickers!

Cheap albums!

What a great sale!
