another birthday card

I found the rose ribbon at Hobby Lobby and thought it was so pretty.  I have it in brown and black also.  This white ribbon can be easily spritzed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist or Glimmer Glam.  The Glimmer Glam I picked up at my favorite LSS, CRAFT CROSSING...although she isn't really local to me...she's about 300 miles away! Anyway, if you happen to be in Gonzalez, Texas, you might just swing by and check her out!  It's worth the drive, trust me!

how cute are these?

One of my biggest fans (thanks Mom) sent me a link of a lady that was making these for sale as a fund raiser.  She didn't have the really cute cards that I made to put them on, but I did get the idea from her.  These are metal washers that have been covered in patterned paper, covered in glossy accents, have been strung with twine and finished with a cute little bead.  How easy is that?  I had so much fun making them that I now have about twenty of them.   These are necklaces, but they could easily be contorted into key chains or book marks.  Think these may have go to the church fund raiser...

more birthday's

I just don't know what to say about this card.  Pop dotted the butterfly, double stamped the stamp, used prisma colored pencils and hot fix bling.  Anybody have a birthday coming up?



a daughter's birthday card

This is a card that I made with an old stamp and a new stamp.  The flower stamp is the old one and the HB stamp is the new one.  I love that ribbon so much that I only use it on special cards and projects.  This card is for my oldest daughter's birthday.  Her birthday was in April.  I'm a little late...

more hand scrub

I made this hand scrub for a friend who asked for six jars! I made the label from Tim Holtz grungepaper and put some primas on them!  Too cute, right?  I used a Tim die and machine sewed the cardstock front to the label.

more post-it note books

I so love making these!  They are so neat for dropping in your purse or keeping in the car.  OK, so I don't do any of that.  I just like to make them and give them to my friends.  THEY drop them in their purses and put them in their cars...

Again I used the sizzix die for the note.  I bought the chandelier stamp a long time ago and couldn't think how to use it and saw it on a card this way, so I sorta borrowed the idea.

and now for something different!

I bought this box over a year ago.  My sis got one too.  I'm sure she has very nicely finished her's and it has been put to good use. She is usually way ahead of me on this kind of stuff!  Mine however, has just now been completed.  It is pretty cute.  I put my colored rose ribbon in it and some extra stuff like stickles and clear buttons.

I really like it, but I'm glad I only bought one! The frame is pressed wood and the drawers were cardboard.  I had to tape the drawers together.  Do you know how frustrating it is to have no pictures OR instructions?  Oh, well, me and my feeble mind did manage to figure it out!!
