Best gift ever

I do so love giving gifts. One of my love languages is just that, Gift Giving. I have this great lil gift that I love to make, personalize n give away.

With school starting up in the next few weeks, I'm making one for each of my kids teachers!

It sooo simple, really. Find a lovely frame. (I purchase them when on sale or clearance racks to get the best price! I store them in my closet lol.)

Find a lovely paper to use, Iiiii used the Storytime DSP as its designed with lines and has the cutest kids running across the bottom.

I cut it down to fit the 8x10" frame size (it's great for smaller frames too!!) and I add an initial or stamp and reframe it up.

Gift it with a Dry Erase Marker it Vis erase (requires water and is myyyy preference). I love to write a note or a quote for the recipient of this gift.

Easy, peasy, lemon squeasy. Lol.

I made this for our schedules, for our kitchen, smaller ones for menu explanations at parties, etc. Get creative n have Fun! I haven't had one person who hasn't loved receiving it.

This was for my Sister and her family...              This was for our amazing Dr. Julie Robothom
This was for my husband's Aunt's gift... we personalized with their Last Initial...

You can really personalize with styles of frames, stamps, papers, embellisments, etc!



This was for my Mother's gift...

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
