MY personalized stationery

I made this card to go with one of the teacher's gifts at the end of school. I had never made a monogramed card with MY name before...it was sooo cool:) Ha ha ha. The things we get excited about!

Father's Day card

When I made this card for my Dad, I made sure to stamp "RELAX" on the inside. Boy, I'm glad I did because he didn't want anything to do with a lawnmower that day! "Happy Father's Day Dad."

Desk Gifts

This spiral notebook was made with fun paper. I even added some shiny gems to the bottom. I love adding tabs on the side too. It puts just that extra touch. The flowers are one of my favorites to make...Dahalia folds. Enjoy!

I used more of my new paper with these desk calendar/note pads. They were made with plastic photo frames that were laid down (so they'd sit upright on a desk). Kimberly even personalized them with a "miss you" note for her 2 teachers:) Perfect addition!

This covered notebook with pen was a teacher gift I made with some of my new paper. It was very time consuming in that I had to adjust the measurements from a post-it note size to this notebook size. I was thrilled with the finished product. I also made 5 matching monogramed cards with envelopes. Very nice!

Borrowed images.

What a great way to use the same image on so many different cards! It makes them all look sooo unique. Try it...share your images with others while stamping theirs and see what you can make:)

I used the same image, but with different paper and colors. What do you think? I sent these out for Valentine's day. The chocolates look good enough to EAT! Don't you think? I even used scented markers which gave an added temptation:) Too bad they weren't edible!

Every few months at my stamp club, we share our stamps. These are some of the images I stamped off a couple times so, I could color in later and make a card. This card was sent to my mother-in-law. I really liked the image of the young girl...it reminds me of MY girls! Hope you like it.

Mommy-to-be Cards

Both my sisters have different taste, so that being said, I had to make Amy a different (Baby Boy) card!

This was a card I made my sister Nicole who was having identical twin girls in the late spring.

Tinkerbell Pipkin

Yesterday, one of my friends came over for me to teach her how to make a Pipkin.

I hadn't made one for Courtney yet, so decided she'd get this one!! It turned out really nice:) The top says "NEVER GROW UP". I am using a scrap to make her a bookmark later.

Teacher group gifts

These were fun hand-outs I made to invite the Preschool parents to contribute to the teacher group gifts. I had such a great response! I feel it was due mainly to the invite being so eye-catching...for the parents:)

Alaskan Pipkins

I enjoy altering lunch boxes. I actually made dozens of them a few years ago and sold them at numerable Craft Fairs in the area.

My father fondly named them "Pipkins"for me. So, the name has stuck! This is one custom order: identical Alaskan Pipkins. The first picture is of the side and front. The second is of the back and front. I was tickled, I was able to make them sooo identical! Click on image to see more detail.

Oohh oohh, invite me! Invite me!

I custom made 15 invitations. To the left, is the inside view. And to the right, is the fun front. Boy, before I say "yes" to another custom order, I need to know what I'm getting into!! PHEW. It was the most involved (time consuming) card I could have made.

"Christian" Teacher gift sets

These were two "thank you" gifts I made for Courtney's teachers at Calvary Preschool. They include
a 2 year pocket planner, a notebook (with a scripture on the front), and a magnetic calendar with matching pen. Click image to enlarge for more detail.

The pocket planners say "I am a child of God". They turned out so nice I made one for myself...which I never do!
