In my opinion, the best part of a handmade gift is being able to really personalize it to fit the recipient. With that in mind, I recently made two personalized gifts that I wanted to share with you.
My assistant, Suzanne is a big fan of owls and goes by the handle, "concerned owl" online. For her birthday I made her a personalized apron! What crafty person can't use another apron?!
I used the same owl from the apron to make the matching gift tag:
I rolled the apron up and used the apron strings to secure it and attach the tag — no wrapping paper required!
Two notes about the glitter: (1) It is everywhere in my house now and (2) I used black glitter on a turquoise tag and the combination became the most beautiful bottle green.
My friend Jenn got a personalized tote bag for her birthday. Literally. One side has her name:
For the other side, I took a saying that I saw online and altered it a bit to fit her better.
What's the last personalized gift that you made for someone?
Thanks for stopping by!
Love your new hairstyle! Beautiful. Off the topic of art I know but I have a main of wild hair and if I could wake up and not have to straighten my hair and make it look so beautiful like yours, I would have so much more time in the morning. I know it is all about product…but I have a cabinet filled with products that do not work on my hair. Please share 😉 Thanks so much!

Love the glitter quote and the saying on the bag!
The last personal gift I made was a mini-album at Christmas for my SIL.

Very nice. I love the lettering. Was this made with your scan n cut? I have seen you work with the owl design and your scan n cut. I have saved the instructions and have tried it with a tree design and it worked out well.
I wonder if you used the flock iron on material for the scan n cut from Brother to create the lettering and the owl.
This reminds me of the new craft items of cloth coloring. The very black color of the owl design. I have seen aprons, hats, sneakers now with designs on them to color in with fabric markers. the prints on these items look like they where printed on with black ink.
I really like your design and again something cool and useful to make and use. I too would like this as a gift. Very Very nice Julie.

The latest personalized gift that I am in the process of making is a scrapbook; I haven’t finished it yet!
Our son and DIL (mostly she, I’m sure!) made digital wedding albums for the parentals this past Christmas. The bar has been set very high! It’s so lovely.
