Purse Full

This is a gift for a friend. She wanted cards, no theme, a little of this or that, so how was I going to just hand her a stack of cards.....well, in a cute little zebra/giraffe 'designer' purse.....that is a rage correct? I made a box that would fit regular sized cards and added a flap to it to look like a handbag and embellished with the ribbons and hardware. I love it!!! Hope she does also! She will right?!!!

Matchbox XL and To the Nines

I am taking these to Convention 09' next week. This is the Matchbox from Sizzix and the "To the Nines" speciality paper used with the little guys from the Animal Stories stamp set.

A true friend

I am stuck in the circle punch cards, have you noticed! I will try to break away and be more creative. I was wanting to use all the NEW IN COLORS in one card....close, but the Mango didn't make this card. The flowers and words in this card are from the level 3 hostess set...

July Wedding

This wedding card is made using the bride and groom's actual invitation. I cut out the names and the stripes and the words right from the invitation and pulled them together to make a keepsake card. Adding the wedding rings with the silver cords just added to the dimension.

Branch Out

I mounted this set this morning! Yep, late I know, but I know there are more of you out there with unmounted stamp sets too. But this was my inspiration to get it mounted and get something made with it today. Wild Wasabi and Baja Breeze are sponged on the background with the images stamped in Chocolate Chip. The leaves are in Old Olive. Sahara Sand and Chocolate chip card stock and a little ribbon and a brad finish this card off nicely.

Upsy Daisy and Party Hearty

NEW Designer paper and the In Colors. Words are from the stamp set Upsy Daisy and the cupcake is from Party Hearty.

Chocolate Martini

I have a friend who is having a birthday today and she got me started on chocolate martinis, so to honor her birthday today I filled a martini glass with zebra covered chocolates and decorated the stem of the glass with ribbon and a tag to match.

NEW Big Shot Box

This is the NEW Big Shot box in the NEW Designer paper. This is a little gift I made to go with the card I posted earlier for the 4 yr old birthday.

NEW Colors and NEW Designer Paper

I maybe should have cropped this photo, but I was rushing. It is a birthday card for a little girl who is turning 4. She loves pink and purple. The balls on the elephants nose are from the clown set we had awhile ago. The little charms she can take off after she reads her card.

count your blessings

Same stamp, just used the count your blessing side of it instead on this card. I used the NEW in color ribbon and included 5 stamp pads, way to use them up huh? The opposite of the pads is a pocket to hold small flat items. I used the Target patterned paper as I thought it went well with the post it pads.

Dusty Durango, Certainly Celery and Very Vanilla

Dusty Durango, Certainly Celery and Very Vanilla are the colors I pulled together to coordinate with these izzy b sticky note pads. I used the Life is in Bloom words from printworkscollection.com and then the Stampin' Up Flower Lines for the flowers. These are so much cuter on a desk than a plain pad of paper, don't you think?

Life is in Bloom

Ok I will admit, I am a paperaholic and when I cleaned out one of my cabinets this past weekend I found more note pads than the store carries at one time....Throw them away? are you joking!!! So I began designing some notebook covers and will begin using them for gifts soon. This one I decided to just use a piece of the paper from the pad itself to stamp the word "Life is in Bloom" from the stamp PrintWorksCollection.com and then choose SU paper to coordinate. The black flower paper is from Target....and the note pad is a Michaels $1 pad.

$50 Orders Get Attention

Beginning today, if you place a $50 order with me, you will get to pick out of my basket of new stamps. These are so cute and will add to any card. I love to stamp these on the back of cards as a added touch. The tags on each bag are made with the new colors. Ask me about the NEW in Colors also, stop by and you will get to see them and touch them! Place orders on my website, or call me with your order....

With Sympathy

Here is my card and the inspiration for this card is the card below. I used the SU texture plate for the dots. With Sympathy from Hobby Lobby and the leaves are the SU Sizzlites Little Leaves and the butterfly is from Flight of the Butterfly SU set.

This is my inspiration card from Krystie Lee at http://www.cupcakemartini.com/, gotta love that name, I wish it was mine as well. I needed a card for someone today and just needed a little help, so when I found this, I thought I could get very close with what things I had....

Friends!!!!

While I am putting Connies order into the computer, she stays busy by filing the left over scraps of paper I have not gotten put away. Don't tell her, but those scraps go all the way back to Christmas.....How many of you have great friends and customers who will do your filing!!! thanks again Connie, helped me out a load!!!

Grad Gift Tag

I wanted this to be a gift tag rather than a card, so I took two circle scallops and one I cut in half to form the pocket, then I used the students name card to slide in the pocket with my message on the back.

Happy Days!

A happy and exciting day for our Britney, not as exciting for her parents....we are going to miss this girl!!!!

Wedding Card

This wedding card could be made to fit any wedding theme just by adding the brides colors to the inside of the flowers or the base of the card made in one of her colors. I would have used textured black cardstock, but I was out.

Wonderful Friend Birthday

I thought this was a fun birthday card. I think I am stuck in graduation colors, so do you do that? I will start something fun for June after everything settles down. And you will get to see something other than graduation gifts....Enjoy!

Graduation Favors

These are the graduation favors we will give out at our daughters graduation party. I printed the words on paper and stamped stars randomly and added the tags. Then we rolled them around Sweet tart rolls and Mentos. I got this idea from Monica Weaver and thought they were simple and fun.

Graduates of the Class of 2009

Brit and her girly friends off to graduation. They were excited and nervous all in one. Great job and love your smiles!

Texas Star

Fridays we have birthday lunch/movie dates with all the girlfriends. This week I am busy with graduation tasks, but I sent my card anyway. Our friend from Texas is having a birthday this month and she sports "Texas Star" on her license plates, so I decided to make her card reflect that.....

Not a Big Shot Graduation

Surprise, I didn't use the Big Shot die cut on this one. This is the finished card and the one below was the card before I added the graduation cap and diploma....details do matter....
