Convention Swap

OK, so these were going to be my Convention Swaps....but I wasn't sure if I could use "So Many Scallops, so to play it safe I started a new swap and I have nearly 20 made. So all is looking good for going. I didn't think I would have time to get any done, so I am feeling pretty good about these done and bringing back fun convention ideas to share. This is made with the new Bella Rose paper, which I love! I just wrapped Trident gum packs with the paper and embellished with black and white checked ribbon. The ink is also the new Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, and Kiwi Kiss. I will post the real swap when I take some photos of the finished product.....

NEW COLORS

These are the new colors being compared to the colors we already have. They will be here soon, so let me know if you want to see them.

Wedding Chocolates

We are having a surprise wedding reception at the lake this weekend for a couple that got married in Hawaii over the winter months, so to celebrate I made wedding favors....Hope they don't melt!!!!

More time Well Spent....

Ok so I got some time to play today....I prefer to call it therapy. Cards that came after finishing the order that posted below this one. Again the wonderful note cards....

Friends Time Well Spent

This is a card order for a friend who is putting gift bags together for her friends that are off to Vegas. I love these Note cards and you can do so much with them. I used the the "Time Spent with friends" Hostess Set. Paper is Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky and White. I colored the images with Prisma pencils and used Mineral Spirits to smooth them out. Add rhinestones to the centers of the flowers and ribbon to embellish. The smaller circles are made with the punch from Marvy and a brad allows it to spin and write your message underneath.

Dots and Paisley

This card has some dimension to it with the chip board. I love the paisley in this set. So birthday wishes to you.

SU! Retired List

Dare to be Darling

My first Dare to be Darling card....only to find out it will be discontinued and retired. But it was fun putting it together and it got the creative side of me thinking. I need to venture out of the black and white anyway. Smile.....Happy Day to you!!!

Braydon's Home from Australia

Braydon arrived home from his Australian adventures with photos and stories to share..... and a tan!!!! We missed you Braydon more than you will ever realize.

Wish Lists!

Wish lists are now available on the sidebar. Click the link to print.

Tee Time Birthday

This is a simple golf card I made for a male friends birthday. I used Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and Old Olive paper and Chocolate Chip for the ink. Embellishments came from Michaels.

Happy Mother's Day Mom

This was my Mother's Day gift to my mom. The box had a pair of reading glasses and the notebook is just a composotion notebook covered with paper to match and embellished.

Happy Mother's Day from Becky

This is so sweet and you can't see the details but it is adorable. It is a wallet with 4 pockets and the closure is with a magnet. It had the Happy Mother's Day in one of the pockets and the coffee cup in another on one side and on the other side was a hand written note and a Starbucks gift card. The details are so cool. Click on the photo to make it large and look at the glitter and cutting she did!!! Becky, you are great and I appreciate your friendship and talent....Thanks lady!!!

Tassles are worth the Hassle

Another grad card...I seemed to need several of them this year. This is a West High one as well, but could be used for any school if need be.

Graduation Purse of Memories

This is a graduation purse I made from Becky's purse of photos she sent me. I thought it would make a great graduation Keepsake and I just used the Graduation announcement and cut it apart to fit where I needed it. The extra pieces are for friends to sign and the name box is also an envelope for a money gift or other name cards

Mother's Day

Along with graduation comes Mother's Day. I am getting a late start with the Open Houses and building, but this is for my husbands mom. I will get it in the mail today so that it is not late. I have not mounted "Priceless" yet, so today bits and pieces got taken care of and I love these round cards Becky sent me, makes it a little unique.

Coffee "Enjoy"

I needed, or wanted to send a little gift in the mail so I made this little bag and filled it with coffee flavored chocolates and stamped it with what you see. Well that was not enough, so I went out and found the dish towel and pot holder and book. That completed my little package to mail.

Pretty in Pink

Becky has 2 boys, so pink is really not in her color scheme....However, I thought a little "hot" pink would be good and of course some black and white!!!!! What else goes better with pink.... This is one of those Target $1 spot specials BUT you know how they sneak in the $2.50 ones, well this fell into that category. But all and all it turned out cute. The flower is from a Hostess set in the Spring catalog.
