Sunday Sunday Sunday

Yes it is Sunday and YES tomorrow is the beginning of another work week. ughhhh!!

Well I had my second workshop last night and I think it went very well. I do believe everyone had a good time making their cards.

Today I wanted to try something different and found this cute CrissCross treat box so I just had to try it. I think it turned out so cute. It's 3" wide about 4-1/2" tall and 1" deep and as you can see it holds a cello bag filled with treats just perfectly. Used Stampin Up Kraft cardstock with Chocolate Chip for the band. Used the Brocade Swirl Roller and sponged all the edge. I love how it turned out.

Oh and this is to just let you know I will be in a craft show on April 24th in Glendale Heights. I will post more as the time gets closer with more information.

TGIF

OK Did I mention "Thank goodness it's Friday". Going to be a busy weekend I think. I have a workshop tomorrow night...that will be fun!! Then I am going to finish the tags I have been making for a friends wedding that she will be using on Terra Cotta Pots for the tables. She will be letting me know what she wants on her programs that I will be making to match the tags.

This is our busier season at work (said that cuz I'm always busy here) but even more so now getting ready for our Lawn Season. Working for a Landscaping company is great. Best job I have ever had. Great Company, Great People. Great Place to Work.

Been ordering alot of great things from Stampin' Up to make my workshops even better so if you live in Illinois (of course within reason) and would like to have me come over and show your family and friends how fun and easy it is to make cards and gifts, please contact me and we can work out all the details. Even if you think you can't do it, you should give it a try. Alot easier than it looks. I never took myself as a Card Maker but I think it's the perfect craft for any beginner or even seasoned crafters.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will try and get more things posted this weekend.

Tulip Card

Well this was my first attempt at a Tulip card that I saw on a video...I think it turned out pretty cute for the first one. I used the oval punch and the round scallop punch to make this. It was actually pretty easy once I got the hang of it. Finished it with the word window, modern label and teeny tiny wishes.

Hope you like it!!

3 x 3's again.

OK I know I have to get out of this 3 x 3 mode I'm in but they are so cute I can't help myself.

I used the Tart & Tangy stamp set in the 6 colors on Whisper White and ok I love these too.

I didn't put a greeting on these so they can be used for anything you want.

Adorable Elephants

Cute Cute Cute....I love these elephants from the "Out of the Box" Stamp Set and I am addicted to the 3x3 cards. They turn out sooooo perfect for easy cards to attach to gifts. And the Stampin' Up colors of ink and cardstock match just perfectly. The greetings are from the Trendy Trees stamp set.

This is so much fun!!

Flowers for the Season

I had fun making these and testing out my coloring skills. I think I stayed in the lines pretty well.

These adorable 3 x 3 cards were made with the Flowers for all Seasons stamp set minus the Christmas Poinsettias and I used ink and the blender pen to color them in. The {Friend to Friend} is part of the Teeny Tiny Wishes, a stamp set I really like alot.

I'm happy with the way they turned out and hope you are too.

Hope you enjoy whats left of the weekend and I'm sure I will post more as I get things done.

I'm getting ready for another workshop for next weekend and I am going to be in a craft show in Glendale Heights on April 24th so I will be busy preparing.

Top Notes Treat Box

Ok had to try this one and if I might say it was just alittle challenging but I did it. Using the Big Shot Top Notes Die, I made this cute little box that can be used to put a gift in for Mother's Day. I used the "A Flower for all Seasons" stamp set and inks and the blender pen to add some color. A little tissue paper and a nice bracelet or earrings or necklace and what mom wouldn't love receiving this. Hope you like it. I do wish I was a better photographer but I do my best so you get the idea.
