Here is a look at my project. I created a set of cards and decorated a tin to place them in.
The yellow ribbon ties all the way around the tin.

All the chipboard butterflies are from the Chatterbox Fabulous collection.

I make an album for my parents every Christmas with photos and stories about our year.
My favorite would be either of my best friends. But, my best friend in Texas probably a bit more so since she doesn't do many, if any creative things with her hands except to play music. That she is fantastic at and I can't do that. She is always in awe - even at my flub-ups! You have some great creations and I love checking them out. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love making hand made gifts for my friends - most of them stamp or scrapbook and really appreciate the effort that goes into making things.
it's hard to say just one, I prefer to make things for anyone who appreciates it!!
Very beautiful cards! I don't have a favorite person that I make handmade gifts for...I have favorite PEOPLE! They are the people at church, my immediate family members, friends, and neighbors. Most of my handmade gifts are of the edible kind as my 4 yr old likes to help me in the kitchen, but I always package them up rather crafty. Have a blessed day! :)
I posted my comment before including my name.

I love making gifts more my sister-I like her to know how much better I am at crafting than she is!! J/K I really do like making things for her though, because she always says "nothing" when anyone asks what she wants and loves (or puts on a good face) everything that she gets especially if it is homemade.
I love making special handmade gifts for my Mom. She really appreciates all of the little details that go into making gifts special.
My mom because she totally appreciates them!! Love your cards!
My MOM! Because she always raves over them and knows how much time and love I put into each creation. She truly appreciates my creative talents and she should because I learned from the best- HER!!

Simply stunning! I love this!
