Teacher Gifts!

School ended last week! I only had what? several months worth of warning that the last day was coming up, but I didn't manage to put together thank you gifts for the teachers, until the night before the last day of school! I've had my retired stamps out and handy so I used this nice masculine set for my daughter's teacher, who is a man. I whipped up this card for him...

Supplies:
Stamps: Sentimental Journey
Ink: Soft Suede, Always Artichoke, Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Peach Parfait
Paper: Peach Parfait, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Silver Brads

and then a gift sack to match, and then it was midnight! So I found this old gift sack I'd made at one of my first workshops ever, lol, and put the gift in for my son's teacher, who is a woman.

*if anyone is curious, lol, the man got a package of microwave popcorn and two kinds of candy in the big theater size boxes. The woman got 8 handmade cards from my stash and one box of theater sized candy.

Vroom Vroom!

This was part of my August card class. Such a clean, simple card...the design inspiration is found on page 41 of the new catalog! *grin!

This groovy car is only available until Tuesday. I have really enjoyed this set, especially for masculine cards. And these buttons are becoming a fast favorite! So cute and easy to use! Supplies:

Stamps: Sentimental Journey, Pocket Silhouettes

Ink: Night of Navy

Paper: Riding Hood Red, Night of Navy, Certainly Celery & Whisper White card stocks

Accessories: Bitty Button

Happy Birthday!

to my husband!

This is the 11th birthday we're celebrating together! He has talked for years about wanting to go on a cruise. Perhaps this card is misleading since I am not planning one...but I think its important that "grown ups" keeping dreaming big and making birthday wishes. Someday.....! Plus, I thought this made for a really cute, yet masculine card!

Supplies:

Stamps: Sentimental Journey, Just Perfect Alphabet

Ink: Baja Breeze (returning!!!), Chocolate Chip

Paper: Sahara Sand, Whisper White & Baja Breeze card stocks

Accessories: Baja Breeze corduroy button (retired)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Honey!!!

Sentimental Journey!

This is my newest stamp set! We got to play with it in my May classes...take a look!
The pages use the collage stamping technique which is one of my favorites when I have a LOT of scrapping to do. Its adds color and a touch of something unique without being overwhelming.

The card also totally qualifies for the OCC Saturday Challenge- to make a masculine birthday card. This one is for my brother!
And, if you notice on the card...Sentimental Journey is one of the sets which if you buy during the month of May you can choose a set of designer brads for FREE! I got those neat star brads FREE. Yeay!
