Red, White & Blue Gift

Good mornin' Peeps!

I'm back...so sorry that it's been awhile but I lost my mojo for awhile but I had a few must do projects so my mojo came back. 

Here is a project I did for my daughter-in-law's birthday.  I never know what to  get her but I know they have a BBQ & pool party for their neighbors....sooooooo I thought this would be a great idea to add to her table.  What do you think?  She liked it & so that made me happy!!!

Thank you so much for joining me & I hope you liked what you saw here today!  Stay cool & have a great day!

Birthday card for Sarah - I used SU Honeycomb embossing folder, punched out paper hexagons with Creative Memories small hexagon punch (retired), cut out stars using spellbinders star nesties, used SU word punch & modern label punch for my sentiment & added rhinestones to stars & dimensionals for star & sentiment

Fold a pocket in the napkins & place utensils inside & decorate

Favors - Red & white striped candy mints inside for after the BBQ meal

Makes a great hostess gift - but give it before the 4th of July so they can use it.

Happy stampin' peeps!

Baby Gift & Card Idea

Good morning Peeps!

I’m back with another project & card that I created for a friend. She's expecting a baby at the end of the month (it's a boy) & I wanted to make her something that I thought she would love & also give her a baby outfit to go along with this gift. She loved it!!! Score one for me, hahaha!!!

This cute idea was easy & so much fun to create. I love making things for people who appreciate hand made gifts...don't you?

Thanks for dropping by & have a great day...it's going to be a gorgeous one here, around 80 degrees today! Time to open some windows!


Altered this box that I saved from one of my favorite hotels in Vegas, it came with a sewing kit, shower cap, etc., they left one in the room everyday & everyday I would stash it in my suitcase, so I ended up with 3 boxes that I use for this cute baby gift idea. Wouldn't you know it...they no longer put these out. I guess they have to change it up so guests don't get bored, hahaha!!!

Box with closet hangers to organize all those different size clothes & when your done store them away in this cute little box!

Birthday Cards with Punched Out Circles

Good mornin' Peeps!

I needed a couple of birthday cards & I came across this style card on Paper Crafter’s Library, April 2013. www.papercrafterslibrary.com & decided to give it a try. It was so much fun & I loved picking out the paper & colors to put inside the circles.

Quick & sweet post today. Have a great day everyone!

Gay Wedding Card

Good mornin' Peeps!

I hope all of you who were in our beloved city of Boston are safe.  I pray for all the victims & their families, this was a senseless attack.  Please keep these people in your thoughts & prayers today.

This card was a challenge for me but so happy with how it turned out.  I was asked to make a wedding card for a lesbian couple & this is what I came up with...what do you think?  The one woman was dressing in a black suit, shirt & tie (but I wanted to lightened it up a bit, too much black didn't look good), I was told she had a mohawk but I could not draw one on this face I had that I was told resembled her, so I went with short hair that was on this Hanna stamp (no longer in business).  The body is also a Hanna stamp but it was a business man in a suit that I thought would be great & just cut out both pieces & attached the head to the body.  Then I had two brides that resembled the the other woman who was dressing in a wedding gown & the woman I was doing this for liked this Saturated Canary bride that most resembled the brides face.  She loved the card & I can't wait to find out how the happy couple liked their wedding card.

Well that's all for now, have a great day & thanks for stopping by & spending a little part of your day with me!

Grey Tie Birthday Cards

Good mornin' Peeps!

I love Saturated Canary Digi images, this one is called "Grey Tie". I just searched Krista's site & this digi is not there, she must have discontinued it but if you email her she might let you still buy it, I'm not sure but it's worth a try. She is one of my FAVORITE digital designers...she's AWESOME!!! You might just see something else you like as well.

Have a great day & thanks for dropping by & visiting!

This card I made for my niece Joyce who's turning 60 at the end of this month. It reminded me of her when she was younger, minus the tie of course. I have a picture of her & I at the beach sunbathing in our bikini's...yes I used to wear a bikini. Yep, those were the days, now it's only 1 piece bathing suits for me, hahaha!!! Old age does that to ya!



Card I made for a friend who loves 50 Shades of Grey...this card made her smile!

Date Night Gift Cards

Good mornin' Peeps!

Today I am sharing the Date Night gift card holders that I made for both Jessica & I to give to Marc & Sarah. Jessica told me that she wanted to do a dinner & a movie gift & I knew exactly what I wanted to do so I ordered the MFT At the Movies stamp & die set & got to work trying to figure out how I was going to make my vision in my head work when it hit me finally. I made it in two steps...I made the cards seperately (I made two 5 X 7 cards) then I adhered the backs together to make one card. I love it!!!

Well I hope you enjoy todays post, I will have another gift that I made for my kids tomorrow so come back & visit me. Have a good day & thanks for dropping by & visiting!

This image is an InStyle Anime stamp. Don't know if this company is still around or if they still sell Anime stamps, sorry.

This is the front of the card that I made for Jessica to give to Mark & Sarah.

First part of card has a gift card holder in the pocket with the chef on it & the other pocket holds a babysitting certificate. See 2 pictures below.

My good friend Sandi's husband Phil made this certificate for me...without him I could never have pulled this off the way I wanted it to look because I am not good at computer things like this. I emailed Sandi & asked if Phil could make something like what I wanted, one for me & one for Jessica & he came through with flying colors as always. I can really count on him whenever I need his help. Thanks again Phil, I appreciate it more than you know. Marc & Sarah loved it & said that it was an endless certificate & both Jessica & I agreed of course!

Jessica's card was a two part card, one side to dine out, flip to next page & you have the movie part. I put two cards together to make it as one. I love how it turned out!

Purple Wedding Party Bella's

Good mornin' Peeps!

Hope you all had a great weekend. We spent Sunday afternoon at the pool with Marc & Sarah & some of her family, Sarah looks fabulous as always & is beaming with excitement, she has had a fantastic pregnancy & is now almost ready to pop that baby out.

Anyway, on to my cards for today. A friend asked me to make a bridal Bella wedding party card for her future daughter-in-law's bridal shower with purple dresses & I was happy to do it. I made 3 cards for her to choose from & she picked the first one. The other two I will keep for my stash. She also wanted me to make her son's wedding card & she requested the "Whiff of Joy" Bride & Groom in the horse drawn carriage from their wedding collection. I will post that tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great Monday!














Here are 2 great pictures of Marc & Sarah...in these pictures she has 12 days to go before baby arrives. Now we are down to the final 3 days, she delivers Wednesday sometime between 3:30 - 4 PM but we don't get to see our granddaughter for 3 hours later so that will be sometime between 7 - 8:30 PM, oh my! Wednesday is going to be a very, very, very loooooong day for us grandparents! I hope I make it through the day...she will be worth the wait once we see her.





Happy stampin' peeps!
