The Gift

Hello Friends,

I told ya I'd be back....did you believe me? This is the project with did just on Friday. I love stamping on candles and it's a great gift that you could give to someone at any holiday or occassion. As you can see if the picture with all projects we made for this gift pack that it all co-ordinates together. Another thing you could do is stamp on some tissue paper and put that in the gift bag to cover the gift. I'm pretty sure that Friends 24-7 is my favourite stamp set and it's funny because on Saturday when I was at the Hamilton reginals I was asked what my favourite stamp set was and I drew a blank but I use this one a lot and find it to be so versatile. Anyway, I hope you like and please share your comments.

I'm blogging baby!

Good evening Friends,

I truly am sorry that it's been a month since my last post. I have been working hard on projects and have my picutres ready for further posts. This was Augusts project for my club. It's a decorated gift bag to go along with with card and gift tag that I posted last month. I had seen different roses out of paper from different blogs and tried to find the easiest one to do in a class. This is the one that I decided to show my club girls how to make. All you need is the ornament punch, sticky strip and a stylus. The ornament punch is used for the petals, and to make it look more like a rose I sponged around all the edges. You have to punch out 18 petals to make one rose. It's pretty quick to put together once you have all the petals punched out. Let me know what you think, the girls enjoyed the project.

Next post will be the gift that goes inside the bag. Thanks for stopping by!

Mini Scrapbook

Hey Stampers,

So this is the mini scrapbook that I've been working on for a little while. I got the front of this scrapbook idea from Kimberly Van Diepen at Stampin by the Sea blog. I used a stencil with stencil paste like material that adds a little 3D effect. Sponged with bordering blue ink and then added some dazzling diamond with the 2 way glue pen. To cut out the base I used my big shot with the Scallop Square die. I sponged all the edges with Chocolate Chip ink. You may notice that this is retired DSP. I have lots of left overs so I'm trying to use it up. Let me know what you think I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for checking in!

Girly Card

Good morning Stampers,

Today's card is the card that I gave my boyfriend for Valentine's day. It's a little girly but it was the closest card to the Valentine's theme that I had on hand. He liked it but said that it was a bit girly. The colours I used Kiwi Kiss and Pink Pirouette are last year's in colours but I love them with this set and I had to DSP to use up. The stamp set is called Friends 24-7 and I love playing around with it.

Hope you like it, love to hear what you think. Have a wonderful day!!!

Great gift idea

Hey Stampers,

So tonight is the night that I get to meet my niece and I am just so excited. With the H1N1 flu the hospital is only allowing 2 family members in the building at a time visiting. My brother called to say that he would be at home for a couple hours so that I could go up and see them.

Here is a little day planner that I decorated using my new stamp set Friends 24-7. Using some old DSP but I like the way it turned out. Unfortunately the quality of the picture isn't that good. I've made up a couple others that I hope to share with you in the coming days. These make really nice gifts for the person you don't know what to get or even a little stocking stuffer.

Thanks for checking in!!!
