Beautiful Baby

We just had a couple of friends who had babies. Duane's cousin had a baby boy, and some friends had a baby girl. And no baby cards on hand! These were really fast to put together, and I just love how they look like baby onesies!

November Club

It's club time again! We have a great Thanksgiving card, and 2 cards that go with home-made gifts. Nothing better than a home-made gift these days!

Okay, so this first card really makes me smile. I just LOVE the 3-d pumpkin. I am not sure that it will mail well, but pop an extra stamp on it, and I bet it would! The bottom edges of each layer is torn (great therapy to tear paper) and sponged.


Here is a close up of the 3-d pumpkin. It is made up of 8 scallop oval punches that are sponged on the edges. And a litle piece of scrap Old Olive curled up for the stem. :)

Accessories: Soft Suede Ribbon, Scallop Oval Punch

Anyone make home-made salsa, jelly, bread, cookies, pasta? Anything that you make and give as a gift would look great topped with this cute little apron, don't you think? Write the recipe on the card and makes a great gift topper. Make sure you fill in the yum factor! :)

See ya gals tonight! Anyone want to join club? Contact me!

Crystal Lite anyone?

This would be a 're-claimed' Crystal Lite container that I have altered into gift packaging! Take advantage of items in your house that you would normally throw away and turn them into hand-crafted items!

This was easy to do - just wrap some DSP around your container, and then do some festive ribbon.

The best part, I think, of the whole package is the bow on top!! I am in love with it! You can find the tutorial here. Its WAY easy to make! This packaging AND bow used 1 sheet of designer paper. Looks quite fetching, don't you think? It already has a gift in it. Can you believe I already have a Christmas present ready and wrapped? me neither . . .

I think I will have to add a gift tag to it too. Don't want the recipient to already know what they are getting their gift in! :)
