Restaurant Menu Folders

Hi Peeps!

Well here is the final part of my gift to Caroline, the two folder samples to put the restaurant menus for the New home owners package. I just love the one with the chef...nice & cheery! Inside has a pocket one on each side to hold the menus, nothing fancy right now but I will put some sort of embellishments on them if she decides to go with one of these or she may want to keep it plain inside.

It has been raining & cool & depressing here weather wise all weekend & into the week, 5 days & counting...I hope it clears up soon. My favorite season is coming, I LOVE the Fall! Everything feels so crisp & cool, the temperatures are more to my liking & I love seeing the burst of color! Mother Nature is at her best & New England is gorgeous in her blanket of brilliant & vibrant hues of golden & flaming colors! I won't be able to take pictures of my baby project until the sun comes out, so that project & post may be a little delayed, so I'll see you then.

I hope to get to some of your blogs & post a few comments in the meantime.








Thanks for peeking everyone, have a great day & stay dry if you can!

New Home Cards & Box Part 4

Good morning all!

Well here is the second card project I made for Caroline with regular sized cards & a box to put them in...I just luv how this gift turned out! This Bella image I bought awhile ago (2 years I think) because I knew my kids would be buying a house in the future & maybe even selling one to buy a bigger one later on, so I thought this would be perfect for their cards. Who knew I would be making cards for a real estate agent...I just love how that worked out!

Anyway here are the last 2 cards & the box. I've added links at the bottom of the post.


Stamping Bella - the Real Estate Agent. Isn't she so cute???











Gina K "Organize it" stamp set
I used Basic Grey Cappella 6 X 6 paper pad
Video on how to make this box is called "Memory Keeper" from Gina K Stamp TV & it's in two parts Here are the links:

Part 1


Part 2

Enjoy.

Tomorrow I will have the folders I made to put the Restaurant Menus in for her to give to the New home owners. I don't know which one will work for her so I made 2 different ones & if she likes them & still wants them (things can change in a year) then we can butt heads on how she wants me to design them.

Thanks for stopping by...see you tomorrow! Have a great day!

New Home Cards Part 3

Hi Peeps!

Well today is the start of the next set of New Home cards, I made 5 regular standard size cards for this project 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 with a box to put them in along with the envelopes. Today I have 3 cards to show you.

I've just started working on my baby project today, when I'm finished with that I have to take it to Office Max & get it lamanated & then cut one more circle in it before its finished & then I can post it. Another great gift idea for you to make, it will be worth the wait, I promise...hee, hee, hee!!! You know I luv to tease you all!










Tomorrow I will have the last 2 cards & the box to go with this set of cards...so see you then! Have a great day everyone!!!

House Gift Box

Hi peeps!

Well here is my House box for the cards I showed you in the last two posts, isn't this just the perfect gift for a real estate agent? I sure hope she likes it! I hope to give it to her in the next week or two. I was thinking of putting a fence with grass (the grass would have been green flower soft) & I would have used the MS fence punch. I had envisioned that in my mind but then I would have had to search for the flower soft & didn't want to take longer in finishing my project, I'll do it that way next time.

I used Lauren Meader's Home Made template from Papertrey, I've had that for a whole year & this is the first time I've used it...can you believe it? Well I was waiting for a new printer so that I could print on card stock that's why I took so long to make this, Marc & Sarah gave me a new printer for Christmas & it's great! Anyway back to Lauren, she is amazing at creating & designing packaging & now has her own line of stamps to go along with her NEW packaging line & business. Go take a look at her amazing line click here to take a look, you will LOVE what you see, I promise!

I used the "Boards & Beams" along with the "Home Made" stamp sets from Papertrey, Inc.(PTI), all card stock for this project is from PTI. This was so much fun to make too...like building a house but a whole lot less muscle work, hee, hee, hee!!!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your stay? Have a great day!
