Wedded Bliss

I am heading off to Vancouver tomorrow to hubbies cousin's wedding so I needed to make a card.........I don't make many wedding cards so I went looking on split coast stampers, and to the occasion's gallery.....and found this beautiful card by Lynn Pratt at

Stamp-n-Design which came with a template.......even better :) Check out her blog, it's fantastic.......thanks Lynn for posting this fab template.

So here is the card I came up with....... 

Some basic black, baja breeze and presto patterns designer card stock and I was good to go.......added some rhinestones and glitter and Ta Da!!!

and the inside......

a close up of the groom.....( sorry a little blurry)

and the dress......I used the presto patterns specialty paper from Stampin' up, and the white organza ribbon and of course the rhinestones :) I popped up the pieces on the dress with Stampin' dimensionals.

a close up of the big butterfly......which I sprinkled with dazzling diamonds, and added some rhinestones!!!

I like how it turned out :) Thanks for looking!!!

Cookie sheet calendar

Saw this idea for a cookie sheet calendar probably a couple of years ago, I can't remember where and when I saw it, but a big thanks to who ever came up with the idea, because it is great.......... 

So I decided to make one for my daughters sewing teacher as a year end thank you gift..........

All the paper is stuck to the cookie sheet with sheet magnets.....you can buy these at any craft store. Stored on the back of the cookie sheet are the rest of the days, and months, so you can switch it around for each month and each year......... 

Thanks for looking :)

Grunge Rock

Here is a card that I made for a swap.......we used a mojo monday layout # 177, with a color combo of baja breeze, more mustard, and cherry cobbler. I just got this stamp set and wanted to create a card that would appeal to my 10 yr old daughter, I really had to step out of my comfort zone with this one and I am quite pleased.......

Thank you teacher gift........

I searched the web for ideas on a thank you teacher gift last year and found a great idea at the blog eighteen25............ here is the link  http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/04/box-of-teacher-goodies.html........ thanks to Jennifer, Jamie and Jodie for sharing their great idea.

So this is what I came up with....... 

I went to our local big box store and purchased a fishing tackle organizer and picked up a bunch of accessories to fill it with, from rubber bands to pencils........a perfect gift for a teacher to use all year round..........Thanks again eighteen25 :) I know I will be making a few of these again this year!!!
