hawaiian note book

OK, so it's not really Hawaiian...but it could be! Just imagine a tiny hula skirt around the middle of the book. This is another one of those "Gee, I wish I had remembered to take a pic of that before I messed with it..." but didn't books. I saw this book at Tuesday Morning and just knew I could think of something cutsie to do with it.
The paper is from K & Co. and yes I am still playing with that paper pack. I cut the letter out with the Don Juan Cartridge on my Cricut. The inside of the book is covered in the green paper that is under the words "notes". I put packing tape on the strip of paper that I cut for the words and when I cut them out they were shiny! I'm really having too much fun...

birthday card holder

September is a heavy month for birthday's around the cardsister house! I found this die at Michael's last month...the only thing I could find to spend my 50% off coupon on...to make gift card holders. It's a lot of fun and they (I made two) did come out kinda cute, don't ya think? I'm gonna make some of these for Christmas this year for my Mom. So that's it for today-see ya back here in two days!!

cute clipboard...cardsister style

More K & Co. paper, stamp by stampabilities and Primas! I re-covered this little clipboard three times. Always messed something up, but I finally came up with this and I like it! The pen fit perfectly into an 18 guage wire trap that I made and super glued on. OK, I'm going to go make some more stuff...

a cover up...

One of these days I am going to remember to take BEFORE pictures!!! This was a little book my daughter gave me that she didn't like. It had no personality...very plain jane...mustard colored cover...some writing of sorts...very forgetable. Of course you won't know that because I forgot to take the before picture! Oh, well, I am going to try and do better! The paper is K & Co. with pretty Primas.

cardsister made a card!

I got a little "T!m Holtz" on this one! I used the Brackets die to cut the card edge and the swirl die for the swirl at the top of the card. The paper is from K & Co, the butterfly is MS, the button is Jenny Bowlin and the stamp is from Papertrey, Inc. The feather is from my favorite white boa! OK, OK, it's not really my favorite boa...but I am pretty fond of it!

a little flower book

I was at Michaels the other day and since I had a 40% off coupon and looking to spend it I ended up buying this book (big book-380 pages) of paper (cause everybody who knows me, knows I just don't have enough paper) made by K & Co. I had all the cardstock, but this was PAPER. I fell in love with it and can't stop playing with it. It is so cool!!

doggy gift tags

Didn't these little stamps make the cutiest gift tags? The one with the dog says "I could wag my tail!" on the inside. Thought it would be cute on a jar of grape jelly or a plate of cookies. Just love that little Chihuahua...he has such buggy eyes and his hat was fun to color! I actually made about twenty of these little gift tags and I'll post more of them later.

I posted this just like it is and then I realized that BOTH of the cards were dogs! Oh, well, I mean the dog on your left...how's that...
