Hi everyone! I made this cute little tin for my secret pal for St. Patrick's Day. I filled it with mint candies because they were green! I made the clovers using hearts that I cut with the Cricut that I chalked and scored then assembled. I think they came out so cute! Can't wait to show you what I have planned for next month! :) Let's just say the Easter Bunny is going to get SUPER creative with eggs! :)

Materials Used:

• Tin
• Green scrapbook paper
• Orange scrapbook paper
• Scrap paper
• White RicRac
• Green flowers
• Green holiday themed wire
• Hot glue
• Cricut machine
• Cricut Cartridge - George & Basic Shapes

Magic Card - Happy Birthday

Before the magic

Wow! It's all filled in with color!

What's that? A magic card? You've never heard of one? Well, they are just as awesome to make as they are to receive! (After completing mine I realized that I need to remake it because I made a piece to wide and it wasn't letting all the wording show, but I still wanted to share it with you guys.) This is for my daughter's friend who has a birthday coming up. You'll notice that the cupcake in the window is just black and white but when you pull up on the ribbon ... TA-DA!!! It's not only colored in but it has glitter and words that weren't there before!

Materials used:

• Stampin up card stock - Pear Pizazz
• White and pink card stock
• Ink
• Stamps
• Punches
• Adhesive
• Ribbon
• Markers
• Glitter

Flip Card - Baby Shower Invite Tester Card

The new panel exposed

Hi everyone! WOW DO I HAVE A MILLION NEW CARD IDEAS!!!! But, for now, I'm being considered by a client for her daughter's baby shower invitations (I had made all her wedding invitations as well). I designed this bear flip card in blue and green but those colors aren't cemented. I just liked how they looked so I went with it (plus, I had them left over from when I made my Christmas cards last year). It's blank at the moment and not 100% what I would like to do, but it's to give her an idea of what I have in mind. In my mind, the final product will have:
1. Where the blue paper is (the base) I want it to be embossed (think textured paper).
2. The bear will be embossed with a nice black finish.
3. The word "baby shower" will be embossed as well.

For right now, the materials I used are:

• Stampin' Up cardstock in Baja Breeze and Pear Pizazz.
• White cardstock
• Martha Stewart Glitter - blue sapphire
• Stamp - Bear and sentiment
• Prismacolor pencil - Light Cerulean Blue #PC904
• Blending stump
• Black ink
• adhesive

Mini Albums - Nutcracker Cookies 2010



All the albums completed. Each cookie got one in the
color of her costume.

 I really wish I could post all the pictures of the whole book, but there are a TON of them! I made these as gifts for my daughter's Nutcracker group who were Cookies. 

One of the mini pages with a tag. The cupcake in the corner
holds the tag in place.


 I decided to make the books sweet themed because in the story, the Cookies were from the Land of the Sweets. Enjoy!


One of the larger pages with a pocket to hold these cute
cookies in. On the back of each cookie is a topic for the
dancer to write about.




This is one of my favorite mini pages. I made all the
embelishments from scratch.




Waterfall pages. The "5" page has this cute matchbook
album attached to it. A mini book inside a book! Inside
are 4 pockets with 4 tags.



One of the many pull out photo mats. Behind the mat is a
spot for journaling. The mat is held down in the corner
by these cute candy buttons.
