Teacher Thanks so much!



The end of the school year is near, 12 days to be exact! This is a teacher thank you pencil shaped card. Isn't it quaint it's only 2.5"x7" big, "But oh so cute". The image is from Whimsie Doodles pencil shaped card image file. I played around with the sizing a bit to get a size I liked. I inked up all the edges and it really popped out the dimension of the layers.

Autism Thank You Card


A custom order for a special and incredibly smart young boy, Keygan. His Mother Roz asked me to make a 'Autism Thank You Card' for them. They are given it to someone who has been very helpful with them this year.

I first found a cut file of a puzzle, then figured out how to cut the outline of the puzzle pieces from the base of the card base. I used all the common colors for Autism, turquoise, red, blue and yellow and cut the puzzle pieces from those colors. The verse is from the Silhouette online store 'thank you' informal word set.

This is what the inside of the card looks like.

I hope you love it Keygan!!

Butterfly Birthday

Butterfly centerpieces for a 90th birthday! Can you make it anymore cheerful than using the colors of the rainbow.

I used seven colors and cut out a smaller butterfly with the same monochromatic color for the top layer. Each smaller butterfly was run through the Cuttlebug and embossed with a different design. I used eleven different embossing folders to be exact.

I cut out a black happy birthday script from the silhouette site (Design #35716) and glued one on either side.

Coral Blossom Bithday



 I'm on a roll this week and in the mood to get some paper crafting done so why not.
I seem to be on a coral kick lately. So I was happy to read that today's color combination CC421 on Splitcoast Stampers was three of MY favorite colors.

Basic Black, Calypso Coral & Baja Breeze.

A girlfriends birthday is coming up this weekend and I wanted to make her a little something as I know she'll appreciate it. And since my city just opened our 1st Bath & Body Works Store I knew what I wanted to put in it. A pretty smelling hand sanitizer!

I still want to incorporate a card with this gift. I guess we'll see what the rest of this week brings. I'm on a really long stretch now before another day off is near.

Thanks for stopping by,
