Time Well Spent - White

This tone on tone card was made using only white papers and vellum, with accents of gold embossing. Although you can't see it, the card base is shimmery white, and the layering pieces are textured card stock. The embossing is on vellum, with a gold leafing pen for the trim on the other vellum piece. The ribbon is white taffeta-all supplies from SU!

JOY Matchbook Giftcard Holder

This matchbook fold giftcard holder is one of my absolute favorite "mistakes." I was trying for something totally different and didn't read the instructions all the way. Have you ever done that? Usually I end with something I give to Emily to play with, but this time it turned out GREAT! There is a used dryer sheet covering the stamped image providing a "snow" appearance. Then i sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds Glitter all over it. Very glitzy, very pretty, trust me. It is folded like a giant matchbook and the inserts can be as many or as few as you like. I have three in this one, one with the sentiment (shown below), one with a pic of the recipient and myself last Christmas, and one with a gift card attached to it with the half-round punch from StampinUP!

Christmas Swap Card

This slighly out of focus card is for a Christmas swap I am doing with some Ladies from SCS. It is a slight variation on the one I did for my Father-in-law. It is so very easy!! Try it.

Pumpkin Binder Clip

This is a great little piece for an entryway or a place setting-it's an easy project, finishable in less than half an hour using oval punches, coordinating papers and a large binder clip. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

WORLD CARD DAY Cards

These are my cards for WCM Day-our church chicks made 2 of each-one to keep and one to donate to the residents in Twilight Haven Nursing Care Facility/Retirement home at Christmas.

Baby book and matching card

This is a really cute baby book I created using the Stampin Up! "In Color" textured paper and the On Board Bitty Book. ($9.95--well worth the price, believe me!) I covered both the book and the little holder with paper, decorated the holder and made a matching card, based on the one in the catalogue on page 79. The trick was the Modge Podge-remember that? From elementary school? Who knew... What do you think?
