Confirmation

This is one of the cards I made for the students being confirmed tomorrow. The background paper is an ivory marble, with white & tan Nestie cuts & embossed. I paper pierced and embossed the cross. Each was personalized with a first name.

Sticker Cards!

I was inspired by yesterday's efforts, and thought I'd try some more. The stickers on the baby card are from Sticko (words), and Whipper Stickers (images). Stax used on both, with Miss Elizabeth Stickers used on the floral card. Both are 5" x 7" pre-embossed grid cards from The Card Patch.

New Sticker Cards!

As you know, I don't care to do toooo much stamping on my cards, so these are some easy sticker cards. Both are made with pre-embossed grid cards by The Paper Patch (5" x 7"), stickers by Sticko, and on the blue card I backed the stickers with deco edged Stax squares. They are quick and easy.

Baby Cards!

I was playing with my Cuttlebug again. LOL

Here are a few baby cards I made. The "foot" border was made by running the folder through 3 times.

My First Cuttlebug Cards!

I made these tonight using my new Cuttlebug. I often get nervous trying something for the first time. Once I ran the first piece of paper through the machine I was hooked. I know these are very simple, but I like the way they turned out. Hope you do, too.

Yes, those are stickers, paper flowers, doilies & brads (pearl & gem).

Ribbon Storage!

Some months back we (Gingerwood board) had a discussion on storing ribbon rolls (by the date on these pictures it's been over a year). I was at a loss as to how I wanted to do this for my collection. Sometime after this discussion I ordered corsages for new members at our church, and the florist put them into a clear bouquet box. I got to thinking about how this would be great storage for the ribbon rolls. It snaps shut and also stacks. So here are a couple of pics showing one of my boxes of ribbon (I'm at three right now, with an empty one on hand for expansion). I think there are between 30-40 rolls in this one. Depending upon your area they average 50 cents to $2 each for the boxes at your local florist.

Valentine Mailbox!

I made this mailbox for my grand-daughter, Alora. I know it's not real fancy, but she's only 3 (will be 4 in March), and you know how little kids are. Besides, pink is her favorite color, and I wanted it to show through for her. She loved it, and what was inside: a valentine puppy pin, and candy. What little kid wouldn't like candy?
