I've almost got it done...

This year for some reason I haven't had much of the Christmas spirit. So I feel like I've been a little slow getting my stuff done because of it. With that being said, here's my gift card holders. I found these measurements at Chic'n'Scratch.typepad.com If for some reason you can't find the directions there, the measurements are 6 5/8 X 4 1/4. Then you score @ 2 3/8, 4 7/8. Tie the ribbon around the top and walla! Simple. Thanks so much for looking, and as always, all comments are greatly appreciated.

Look what I made...

If your interested in the re-inker colors I used, they are, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, Real Red, Bermuda Bay, and Cameo Coral. I am so excited about how these ornaments turned out. You can get much better directions than I'm gonna give if you look on you tube. Check out my stampin crush, Dawn Griffin. I LOVE everything she does!! So, here's how I made my ornaments. I bought a box of clear ornaments from Big Lots for $3.00. I added about 25 drops of my reinkers into the bulbs, (one bulb at a time.) I then rolled my ball around until the entire inside was coated with ink and then I added some glitter in each ball and shook. I bought some rub ons and added those to the outside of my ornaments. I LOVE how they turned out. I wish I could keep them, but I made them as gifts. I'd love to know what you think. Oh, and if I'd been smarter and planned ahead, I could of easily bought most of my supplies from SU. Next year, I think I need to start planning in August at least! I'm such a procrastinator. I'd really love to know what you think! Thanks friends!!

Totally cased

I was looking for ideas for my card swap group. This months theme is to make one card using a die cut. I came across this one on split coast and knew I had to do it. I LOVED it! Her blog is www.sarahsinkspot.blogspot.com I added the perfect pocka dots, to me it made it look a little more like a quilt, but full credit goes to Sarah. If it was her original idea or not, she is the one I cased it from. I LOVE all the resources the Internet has too offer.

Christmas gift

I am so excited, I found this idea on you tube. I don't know who to give the credit to because there were several different videos. Anywho, I love how these tiles turned out. I plan on giving them to a couple of friends. I would love to give them out to all of my friends, but I don't have pictures of all of them. How do you think they turned out? Is it a good Christmas idea?

It's my birthday

Can you see the christmas lights? I LOVE IT!! This isn't a stampin up idea, or a card, or anything like it. It's not even my idea, but I thought it was so clever and amazing! I was so touched by it too. A really good friend of mine made it. Thanks again! I love it.

Two in one...

In my last order, I received the Bigz Scallop Envelope. I couldn't wait to come up with something to do with it. I had this idea in my head, but I'm not sure I captured what I was trying to do. I used the retired stamp set Christmas punch to make the tags, Delightful decorations and the ornament punch, and the Northern Hearts snowflake stamp set. The colors I used are Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi, and Red real. I'd love to know what you think, I'm just not sure I like it. It's not what I had envisioned.

I've got the pictures. YAAA!!

Alright, so I have found my camera and my sweet husband found the charger. So I'm back in bussiness baby! Here's the pictures to the wall hanging I made. I think it turned out great! I think I'll make one using Christmas colors since it is the holiday season. I haven't quiet finished the wall hanging. You add pictures on one side, and write what you love about them on teh side that says' "things I love..." I don't have a stamp that says, "about you," so I'll hand write that in the bottom. I'll for sure post my christmas one when it's entirely finished. Let me know if your interested and I'll post the tutorial.
