A birthday is always a special day and I like to have little treats on hand to drop off to my friends and family on their birthday. Since everyone knows I'm a paper girl, I like to take something handmade along with a treat. These little birthday candle treat boxes can be filled with candy, chocolates or cash. An electric tea light candle sits in the top of the box to provide the candle flame. They are a great way to use up ribbon scraps and the more ribbon and fibers you add, the cuter the candle gets.

Being a little kid is so magical. Everything is so exciting and every day is the best day ever. Even the smallest things make a little one so happy and it's so fun to be the cause of so much happiness and excitement. So join in on the fun and make up a batch of applesauce animals. Stick these in a sack lunch or deliver them to preschool on a platter and you are sure to get some great big gasps and lots of hugs of appreciation.

“Muuuummmm! I’m bored!” Is this something you’re hearing a lot at the moment with the children on summer break or on the weekends? A quick virtual trip to the Pazzles Craft Room Library could turn the nagging into some constructive, (and creative) time by cutting out some cute animal friends to turn into bookmarks. You could cut out a group of them and the children can do the assembly work and make some for their friends.
Everything is cutter in mini and this little gift sack is no exception. Modeled after a mini grocery sack, it's just the right size to hold a small treat for someone special.
At a loss for words? We've got 50! I'm excited to share this Wise Words Cutting Collection with you today. It's one I know I'll be using a ton and I hope you love it too.
This postcard album can be the perfect brag book for grandparents or a great way to showcase some of your favorite photos from a vacation or special event. A completed postage stamp alphabet included!

It feels so strange to be adding frosting/snow capped roofs to projects in the July heat, but I have to admit it has been fun. It's got me dreaming of sweater weather and snow days while the sun beats down outside. This gingerbread mini album can become a yearly tradition for your family or the start of a new tradition for whoever you gift it to. Pick one holiday memory and document it year after year in this album. Maybe it's your annual gingerbread baking, or the neighborhood cookie swap. It would be so cute to include a picture of the kids with Santa every year so you can see how much they have changed. Whatever you decide to document, this album can be pulled out and enjoyed year after year.
Hello crafty friends, Melin here with you today to share my mini album. I was so thrilled to have a chance to create a mini album for this week's Christmas in July projects. I chose to go with a Calendar theme. This makes the perfect gift for special friends and or family. I started with the Scalloped Shaped Frame. I sized it to approximately 8.25 x 8.25. I cut the scallop in white. I cut out seven of them. I then cut the larger mat out in kraft cardstock. I cut out 14 of them and adhered them to both sides of the white scallop mats. I then chose several patterned papers from the DCWV Linen Closet. I love the beautiful soft teals, blues and greens. I created the little mini calendars and the labels for the months. I've included them below for you to download along with a notes journaling card. I printed them out and cut them with my Inspiration Vue.
When the holidays roll around I start dreaming of all the good food coming my way. The women in my family all have their special recipes that they make holiday after holiday. I look forward to each and every one and I thought it would be a great gift to gather all of those recipes and make an album. I'll make one for every family in our extended family and my hope is they'll be passed on to the next generation. That way my grandkids won't miss out on my sister-in-laws pumpkin bread or my aunt's butter rolls.
I have always liked the look of Word Book albums, but I wanted to do one with a twist. So instead of just the letter all alone at the end, I put each letter in its own scalloped square to add a bit of fun. This can be a great gift for a special friend. Add photos and thoughts of your friendship together. I have included some different scalloped shapes for using with your Pen Tool to add quotes to. I have also included a few quotes that are fairly generic, but I encourage you to use quotes or journal to personalize it for you and your friends.
It's Christmas in July and we've got a week of fun for you. Each day this week we are sharing a mini album with you that is perfect for gift giving. Start creating these now and you'll have Christmas all wrapped up way before December 1. Each album will include cutting files so you can get right to work. We've included embellishment pieces, but don't forget you can customize any of these albums with pieces from the Craft Room Library. Merry Christmas is July Pazzles friends! The first album will be up shortly!
