A Waterfall of Memories

A Waterfall of Memories

This was really cute. What a great idea to use an old date book and the fun of the waterfall technique. On my to-do list soon.

Christmas Card exchange at 2peas

Here's the card I made for a christmas card exchange on http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/ I cut the wreath and the word joy from Joy of the seasons cartridge. I used some distress inks to tone down the manilla cardstock and used a fiskars texture plate to get the brick background.

Happy Birthday Loretta

I made this following a tutorial from http://jackietopa.typepad.com/ I believe it was from her june posts. I think it's also posted on splitcoaststampers too. I changed it up a bit by making the card section hold address cards and the little address book holds important dates like birthdays anniversaries etc. Since I know Loretta makes her own cards and wouldn't need extra. There are some tags and a post-it pad to jot down to-do lists.

An I'm sorry gift for Loretta

 



A while back I went to have a "play date" with my good stamping buddy Loretta (her blinkie/link is on the left) and she was so kind to let me use her new, and I mean really new big shot pro. The one that cuts 12" and wouldn't you know I tried to cut on my own and despite the wonderful instructions, I destroyed one of the shims that came with the machine. I felt so bad and Loretta being wonderful as usual said "Ah, forgetaboutit". My heart just couldn't. So I made this card and cupcake that held a secret $$ to cover the cost of replacing the shim. The cupcake is from Fabulously Artsy tutorial on youtube.com. It was pretty easy to do, but I replaced the crumpled cardtock with flowers and ribbon. 

Scrapbook.com Beaded Stick Pin Swap

I hope that the gals over on scrapbook.com like the pins I've made. This was my 1st time doing anything like this. I am learning to bead slowly but surely. There is a mix of glass beads and plastic beads on 3" pearl head pins. (Love the pins, I use them alot in floral arrangements since they are long enough to thread into the flower stems.) so...The theme was "spring" and I thought what better color combo than teal, white, and purple. I cut the baskets with the doodle charms cartridge and added a strip of foamcore board inbetween to keep our USPS workers safe. :-)
