To Know Love

Class Project # 2

This is pull out card that I designed and again it is fairly easy to make. The white card measures 8-1/2" x 4". Once you do the scallop border, it will be about 3-3/4. But then again, you can cut it anyway you want. The stamp image was designed to look like a postage stamp.

RECIPE:
Stamps: Dreams du Jour
Paper: Whisper White,Real Red, DSP Rasperrry Tart
Ink: Real Red, Old Olive
Tools: scallop edge punch, square scallop punch
dimensionals



This picture gives you an idea what the card
looks like without the red card pulled out.
The white paper is scored 2-1/2" on one side
and 2" on the other side.















The stamp image was stamped first then, colored with
blender pen and mounted in dimensionals. Using scrap of red paper, punch a square scallop.

Top Note Purse

Class Project #4

I have made this Top Note Purse for my class. My friend, Jean gave me the idea when she had this in her class. She used a small paper bag for the inside. I designed a box instead for the inside to put your goodies in it.

I used the wide oval punch for the holder opening, added the round circle punch for tag.

Using the heart to heart punch, I used 3 different colors paper to punch and used them for the front purse design.



RECIPE:
Stamps: Love You Much
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red
Ink: White Craft, Riding Hood Red

For Vonnie...

A very good friend and co-worker retired after
working as a nurse for 35 plus years. Today is her
Retirement Party and I made this altered journal for her along with the bookmark. I picked these colors because she's "old" but the pink should make her feel young. I probably will get in trouble for calling her old but she would not like me if I put the other name I call her. I will miss her...a lot !!!
Anyway, the letters are from Cricut machine and I used the Baroque Motifs stamp set.

RECIPE:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs
Paper: Basic Gray,Basic Black, DSp, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette
Accessories: ribbons, brads

T'was the night ....

...before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring...that's because we were all stuffed from the Christmas dinner we had. (he, he, he !!)

It has been our tradition to celebrate the eve of Christmas with family and friends. It is but once a year that the kids and grown ups as well get to stay up late and celebrate this joyous event. Tonight is no exception...

It was a lovely Christmas dinner at the home of my niece, Kristian in Queen Creek that our family gathered and had a feast. We had good food, games and tons of pictures. The kids were all too anxious to open their presents while the adults did the White Elephant exchange gifts. There were several goodies that I would have kept but they keep stealing them from me. Nevertheless, I was happy to take home glass coasters.

I know it's morning now and wanted to grab a few hours of sleep...but not until I wish each and everyone of you a Very Merry Christmas !!!
