Hi everyone! I am so excited to be blog swapping with Alison today. Don't you love her blog? I find so much inspiration every time I look. I just love her cute projects.

I am Crystal from Crystal's Craft Spot. Its my little spot to share my current craft projects, tutorials, recipes, and ideas I want to use in the future. Every Wednesday I host a new Craft Challenge and every Friday is Feature Friday where you can link up any of your projects you've been working on.  I hope you'll come join me. 
Here are some of my favorite projects you will find on my blog:


Now for the fun part!  I'm going to show you how I made this cute baby gift for a friends.  It combines a new mom's 2 favorite things: a picture of their baby and their little newborn stats.
First I painted the edges of a 5x7 wood board (found at walmart for about $1.50). 
Then find a picture of their new baby (I stole borrowed mine from her blog)  and pasted it into a word document.  I sized it and added a text box with his name, birth date, time, weight, and height.  I printed it on photo paper and cut it out.
I used spray adhesive on the board and glued the picture down.  Now they have a sweet keepsake and will always remember how tiny their little one was.
Here's one more picture...my little helper thought the picture needed an extra prop.

Come by Crystal's Craft Spot anytime for more crafts and tutorial. Thanks again for letting me stop by. Its been a lot of fun!
