Pear and Partridge Gift Card Holder

This is a gift card holder.  The card was cut using the Artiste Cartridge and left over paper from the Pear and Partridge Cardmaking Kit.  You can probably make at least five card holders using the remaining paper from the kit.  (See page 66 in the Idea Book)  Get started early making your Christmas cards.

Stella paper packet

This is my beautiful daughter, Teresa.  I am so proud of the woman she has become.  She is a great daughter, a wonderful mom, and a good wife.  Teresa is a kind and considerate person who tries to be an encouraging and uplifting friend.  She is also lots of fun...

Do you like digital scrapbooking?  I have to admit that the above pages are the first ones I have done digitally.  Studio J has a great way to help you catch up your scrapbooking projects.  Get all of those pictures you have stored on the computer or in a box into a scrapbook that you can share for generations.  You can even add more dimension by embellishing the pages with buttons, ribbons, or bling when you receive you pages in the mail.  It is just $6.95 for a 2 page layout. 

Stella Paper Packet with Magic layout "On With the Show"

This is one of my favorite layouts.  I love the Stella (which is still available in the Fall/Winter Idea Book)  And the pattern from the Magic how to book is very versatile.  All I need to do is add the pictures.

The colors do not seem quite right from this scan.  The colors are Sweet Leaf and Smoothie mainly.  I love these two stamp sets because the are so versatile.  Let me know what you think about the artwork on this blog.  Also, in September, I will be having a raffle drawing for my followers.  So sign up to be a follower if you have not already done so and you might win a free acrylic stamp set.  The winner will be posted on September 30th.

Cricut Artiste Cartridge Mailbox

The papers I have been using are retired.  They still make adorable 3-D objects.  I cannot tell you how easy the mailbox is to make.  Cut the shape using your Cricut Artiste cartridge.  Decorate the outside as desired with background and texture paper.  Glue on two sides.  Add the flag (also cut on Cricut) with a brad.  Add any other 3-D objects or designs and you are done in about 15 to 20 minutes.  Some folks will be able to complete a little faster and some a little slower, but it is all fun.
