Grad Gift/Party Favor!

This is the super fun little project we'll be making at my stamp class this Thursday and Friday! They are so fun and easy to make! - Even the tassel is super easy!

 

And what grad wouldn't love this little container, with maybe something more ($) in it than a couple chocolate treats?!

Hope to see you at class this week,

PS - This little project will be part of my Craft Project Central tutorial for May - so stay tuned and you'll get to see all the other parts that coordinate with it, plus you can buy the tutorial in May.

Bye, Bye Baja Breeze!

Baja Breeze has always been one of my favorite colors... and now it's going to be retired! I'm sad, but I know I'll get over it :) There are some great choices that may replace it - so we'll see! Maybe Soft Sky? and I'm liking the new Pistachio Pudding and Coastal Cabana...

But anyway, I needed a couple birthday cards to mail out today. So I decided to use some things that I know will be retiring. I really liked the Moving Forward (Ronald McDonald charity set), and didn't use it as much as I wanted to - so I did today! I saw a card on Splitcoast (I think) that inspired the design!

Floral Scrapbook Wall Hanging

Do you have an extra special family picture that you’d like to display, but are getting tired of the plain-frame look?  Here’s a way to show off your family picture and your creativity!  This is a 10: x 10" scrapbook page inserted into a shadow box.  putting it into a shadow box also enables you to use a lot of dimension that would normally be too fat for a scrapbook album!  This project can easily be customized to the colors of the room you want to display it in.  It would also make a great class for National Scrapbooking Month!

So Simple Swallowtail!

I love the new Swallowtail single stamp from the Spring catalog. I've had it for a bit, and was kind of intimidated on how to use it. I kept thinking that I wanted to stamp and color it. It's so big though, so I kept setting it aside - and telling myself, "Ya, later!" 

So today I braved it, and just decided to pick a bold color and stamp it. - And there ya go!! I added a saying - and called it done! And I like it!! Hope you do too!
