Canned 3X3

Another Becky gift!  This is cuter in person, buts its a can of 3X3 cards in a can....for a quick "I am thinking about you" note!

The chicks have hatched.....

Helen, Liam and Owen.....hee hee

Those of you who are Diana Gibbs blog fans know how much she loves her girls.....the chickens....Well I thought it would be fun to make her a hen and a couple chicks to surprise her with at Convention.  She is now making the attempt to hatch some eggs, well one of her hens is, so in 21 days, we will find out.....but in the mean time.....I will give her these!! Cute huh!  I used the NEW Halloween DSP and I AM IN LOVE with that paper!  Cant wait to get home from convention and play with it some more!

Convention Gifts - Hanging magnet boards!

I found these memo boards and my first thought was our diecut....so I HAD to figure out a gift for convention....so here is the one for Lorri Heiling...

And of course this one is for BFF Becky Roberts...its a great gift dont you think!  I would have made more, but by the time I worked on them and went back for more, they were gone!  So just two!

Organized Swap

These are my cards for an organized swap at convention...they took a lot of time, however, they were a lot of fun and I love the outcome....Thank you Bachelorette for being 2 hours long so I can keep cutting out glasses!

A gift for Toby

So glad my friend, Diana Gibbs came to convention to get Toby's gift.  He loves his auntie Kim, so since my new addiction is the Cameo, I had to etch his name on a treat dish.....and just so he remembers who these treats are from.....its a zebra dish!

I AM

Convention is right around the corner and this is a pin
 to wear or to add to the convention bag but again, its better in person....It is made on a piece of wood with a clear coat on the top....not a big deal!  It is the tag for a friends gift, you will see in a later post!

Lemons

More glass etching..... This is yet another anniversary gift for a couples 50th celebration.  Their last name is Lemon and this is a gift my mom asked me to make to give them.  She will fill it with lemons....I think it will be perfect!  See if I can get a photo when it is ready for giving also....

PURSEsonaly Thank YOU

So the other day I wanted to do something special for my husband....so I called his office and got one of the girls to run get him his favorite coffee.  I got big points!!!! But to pay her back for the coffee and her wonderful favor, I made this little gift for her and the money was inside....and a matching card!


Convention gifts are all ready to be posted while I am away so watch, they post every day....I have been busy and not getting this posted like I should, but I figure it will pay off when you see all the projects!  ENJOY!

Bridal Luncheon Favors

 A friend called and asked if I could do some bridal luncheon favors for her....the little purses were PERFECT!!!!!! We filled them with chocolate of course.....

For the Newlyweds

Braydon had a wedding to go to and went to buy the gift card, but no card....so I asked him what he was going to put the gift card in....He says, "mom, none of the cards are as good as yours and they are expensive, will you just whip one up" of course......why would I not just "whip one up"  So this was the final project!!!

Etching Glass

I know these are a little hard to see, but I have been doing some etching on glass.  The top 4 glasses are for a 60th Wedding Anniversay and this is their boat name etched on them.  I hope they love them, I had so much fun making them.  And this one here is a salad bowl with another friends boat name on it.

Wedding Candy Table

I hurried and helped a friend make these for a wedding candy table....They were hard to photograph in the frames with the light reflections I had, but I wanted to share them with you anyway.

Happy Father's Day...do you have a card for your dad?

Sadly, I wont be making a card for my dad this year, but this month will allow me to remember how much he appreciated all the cards I did make him.  When we cleaned his house of his personal belonging, all the cards I had made him were kept in a box.  I miss you dad!!

Happy Birthday

This is a hostess stamp set I wanted to share with you today....

New Ink pads, want to get yours too?

High School Grads

I made several of these types of graduation cards this year, using the announcement itself and turning it into a gift card, however I didn't take photos of many of them because they were made and sent in the same hour....But I did take a photo of this one before it was sent.  It hard to see, but i just folded the layer and added dimensionals and a ribbon and diploma brad....

Baby Gift



It will always be a animal print gift if its coming from me...hee heee



....This is on the butt....

I stuffed a very adorable outfit in a card box and added a very simple gift tag to match the colors in the outfit.  This is for a special little person as well, but her gramma is the secretary at my husbands office....so it will go to gramma first....

Love Love this new cover!

Graduation Tutorial Example

Another graduation card, with a "giving factor"....I wrote this tutorial a couple years ago and you see it everywhere it seems....however, if you are still interested, the directions for this similar card are on the right side column of my blog....

Oklahoma State University Grad

This is a graduation card I made today for a friend of mine and she requested it be something special for her nephew....hope this is IT!  Just a simple card with a belly band, and what grad doesn't appreciate a card that gives....
