A Little Something for You Gift Tag 3

A Little Something for You Gift Tag

Hi Girls! I almost forgot about this gift tag that I wanted to share. I made this tag to attach to a loaf of pumpkin/ginger bread, (my favorite anytime of the year:), that I made as a gift for some of my special friends for Mother's Day. Sorry about the photo, I took it in my car with my cellphone! :) I first cut the tag using chipboard for stability, then adhered the embellished cardstock die cut to the chipboard. Hope you like the tag! Thanks for stopping by and looking! Be Sweet! Until next time...

Polk-a-dot Purse! 10

My Little Purse of Plenty!

Hi Everyone! I finally had the chance to make the coordinating purse/gift bag to hold the cards for my girlfriend! I was inspired by Becky's Top Note Purse Tutorial found at http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com. I needed a gift bag to hold standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cards, so I got a little creative with the Cricut Expression, and altered her directions to make this size purse. I think this purse is so versatile, I call it "My Little Purse of Plenty!" I am sure it will look great in any color scheme and decorated for any occasion! I am looking forward to making this in many colors and blinged out! If anyone is interested in the altered directions for this size purse, please let me know and I will then post them! I hope you like it! As my mother-in-law would say, "Be Sweet!" Until next time...

Facelift! 10

My blog got a Facelift!
Hi Everyone! I am very happy that my DH helped me update and spruce up my blog! What do you think? I hauled a few of my favorite items outside for the photoshoot! (smiles) It was very difficult to narrow down the supplies to put in that photo because I really love and use a lot of different stuff! I surely could have filled up that table! I am hoping that I will get my act together and make some tutorials pertaining to scrapbooking and cardmaking in the near future! Until then, I will just continue posting creations that I have made to share.

Celebration Card continued!
I made these two cards to coordinate along with the birthday card for my girlfriend's niece. I am going to make a set of these cards, 2 of each, along with a coordinating gift bag. I haven't gotten around to the bag yet, hopefully tomorrow after work! I hope you like them! Until next time...
