Teacher Gift on a Budget, View No. 2

Decided I am adding ribbon on the top. Will forward pictures later. Thanks to all for looking. Sorry it has been so long since my last posting, we have been busy with the sports season.

Teacher Gift on a Budget

Speech teachers gift. Calendar is school calendar starting in July 07 and ending June 08. Pen coordinates with clipboard and calendar and is beaded. Teacher is a dog lover.

Just having fun with thank you notes.

Hearfelt Thanks

Working on more thankyou notes. Heartfleft Thanks is always a pleasure to work with no matter what you do with it. Used all In Color Paper and stamps.

First Communion Thank You Card

Learned this process at Mrs. Julia's last stamp camp. We did this in copper at stamp camp. This is my own creation and used a Cuttlebug to emboss the white and then added silver to the raised embossing area. This is for our neighbors as a thank you for their much to generous First Communion gift. I really enjoyed this card. I think it would work well for a wedding too.

Baby Card

Getting back in the swing of things with Stamping again. I made this for my March Card swap. Sorry about the sideways posting. I have been so busry with kids, house, work. I haven't had time to play at one of my passions.

Tropical Bday Card

Started out trying to make a quilt card. Didn't turn out like I thought but I like the new direction that I went with the card. I made this by using the alchohol on cotton balls with a few drops of reinkers. Used sunny yellow (I think that is what it was called) and played with other colors until I came up with a pattern I liked. Dragged the cotton balls across glossy white card stock/picture paper. It is very tropical. Was kind of nice to do something like this, especially with as cold as it has been. My youngest helped witht this project.

Stampin with Ms. Julia

Just wanted to share this cool project Julia taught me this weekend. I am going to turn it into Mother's Day gifts. Thanks Julia.

Stampin with Ms. Julia

Spent my weekend stampin, with my stampin Guru, Mrs. Julia. A world class instructor.

Hubby's Valentine

Last minute Valentine for hubby. Made this using french script, big blossom, and Carte Postale. ALL from Stampin Up. The ribbon is from SU too. Used the quarter fold technique for the first time.

Valentine's for the girls

Cards for my gals.

More Valentine's

This valentine is for my preteen daughter. Ha! Sorry about the picture quality, having one of those days.

Valentine's Card 2

Made this for our three year old niece. This was fun to make, decoupaged the hearts (paper to plastic) and then just kept adding and adding more stuff. Just having fun!!

Valentine's Card

Made this for the kids grandparents. Really trying to give the cards layers and depth. Valentine's is one of those holidays where you can just be fun with the cards.

Updated Thankyou card. I didn't like the first one so I changed the ribbon to yarn and added a little embellishment.

This card is a reproduction of the Stampin Up Catalog card (18C). The only change I made is I added the brads/embellishments at the bottom by the phrase. I felt that the bottom of the card was empty when the top had so much going on with it. I would give this card to someone who is graduating, or needs some word of encouragement.

Sympathy Card

This is for a family friend.

This is another one of my favorites. But, the picture doesn't do it justice.

Stamp Camp No. 3 project. I am going to get this Stamp. Easy, quick and fun project. Thanks again Julia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's Stamp Camp Project No. 2! Way cute. Can't wait to make this and give to some teachers.

Kudo's to Julia for coming up with this idea.

My good friend and Stamp Queen Julia made this for all the members of our stamp camp. It is a calendar. She also coordinated it with my purse. How cool is that.

My first mirror image card. Got this idea from Split Coast Stampers. It is one of my favorite projects. Thanks for looking.

This is the card that hooked me on stamping. It was made for my daughter's preschool teachers.

This is the card I did for our January 07 STAMP CAMP SWAP CARD (IMAGE 2.)

This is my Stamp Camp Swap Card. Jan. 07. I got the idea from Split Coast Stampers. The back center fold has a place for a gift card.

Rudder is our most recent addition to our family. He has two new canine siblings Mack and Pal. His human siblings love to lay on him like a pillow.
