Grandma's Birthday

So glad it's Thursday, one more day until the weekend! It's Becky tonight and I've got a card that I just love. I got the idea for it from here. I just love Dawn McVey and all her creations. She's fabulous! So, this card I loved so much that I made several of them for my stash. This particular one is going to my Grandma Jean whose birthday is on Tuesday. I ran the blue cardstock through the Cuttlebug with the Textile Embossing Folder. I then used my Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch and added rhinestones to it. I finished the card off with some ribbon, a button and quilting pins and finally the birthday sentiment is from Upsy Daisy from Stampin' Up! Enjoy and have a great night!

Here's a close up picture of the card, love that embossing!

Spring Polish

Stacy here....well another rainy day and I was actually inspired today !! Today my little project is a miniature milk carton that holds 4 mini bottles of fingernail polish. I scaled down the holder to fit the polish (bought the little bottles at Wallyworld). Nothing gets me more excited about spring than all of the different polishes I like to experiment with on my toes !! Below is a front view:

Here is a side view:

This turned out so cute !! I made one for each of my girls and they loved them !! Have a good night and thanks for looking !!

Birthday Card

Hello all, it's Becky today with a lovely little birthday card I made for my big sister. Her birthday was last week and this is the card I made to go with her gift. I used the Out on a Limb set from Papertrey Ink and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up! Upsy Daisy. I used Versamagic ink, Bitty Dots Basics patterned paper, Autumn Leaves button and hemp twine to finish everything off. I was pretty happy with the way this turned out!

Here's an up close, side view of the card.

Post-It Note Holder

Stacy here !! My creativity level was really low today....probably all of the rain we had !! But, I came up with this really cute post-it note holder (my first thought was to put napkins in it for the kitchen table). To make the holder I used 2 mini magazine holders and secured them back to back. I covered the seam with PP and ribbon. A few scalloped circles and more ribbon and it's as simple as that !!

Side view: It's the perfect size for two post-it pads. Hope you enjoy !!

Birthday Gift

Happy Saturday! It's been cloudy here today but warm and windy. We spent the morning sanding and glazing our kitchen island. It turned out great! I just love it when you picture a project in your head and it turns out just as you imagined! Not only did that happen with our island but also today's project. This is a little something I made for my sister's birthday, which was April 22nd. I took a 4x6 notepad and stamped her initial in the bottom right corner of all the pages with my Just Rite Monogram Stamper, in brown ink. Then I made a simple box for it, trimming it with chocolate brown cardstock pieces I punched with my Fiskar's Threading Water Punch. I lined the inside of the box with Bitty Dots Basics patterned paper from Papertrey Ink. I tied a brown and white polka dotted ribbon around the notepad and set it inside the box. To wrap it, I simply folded the box up with some tissue paper and tied some more brown and white polka dotted ribbon around it to secure it. I made a coordinating card, which I'll share next week, and tucked it inside the ribbon. Hope you have a great weekend, see you next week!

Here's a picture of the notepad and inside of the box.

And last, a side view of the notepad in the box.

Happy Birthday Papa

Stacy here......hope everyone is loving this great weather !! It has been so nice here the last few days and it's hard to come inside and get creative !! Today I have a Happy Birthday Card for my father-in-law. He's a big fan of the local hardware store, so I decided to go with that theme. I had a little trouble trying to figure out how to make this card unique, and then I remembered that my husband does own tools........and I thought nails would look cool !!

Nails ???? I think you can scrapbook just about anything !!

Hope everyone has a great weekend !!

Birthday Gift Tag

Aaaahhh, what a beautiful day we had here today. Sunny and 83 degrees! We've got the windows open and the attic fan on and I'm loving it! Tonight I have a card that was the gift tag I made for our neighbors birthday gift. I stamped the BIG cupcake stamp, from Stampin' Up! with Versamark and heat embossed it with Ranger Seafoam White embossing powder. I then cut the image out and attached some sequins to the dots on the front. I finished it off with a few more sequins at the bottom and some curly ribbon. Have a great night!

Just a Little Note

Hello everyone !! I hope everyone is doing good !! Today's little project is a little notebook that holds a 3x6 pad of paper and 6 decorated paperclips. It was super easy to throw together and would make a cute gift !! Here is the outside view:


Inside: I used my notch tool to notch out six spots for the paperclips and decorated them with Prima flowers. Enjoy and have a great day !! Stacy

3 Ring Binder - Part II

Hi! It's Becky today with Part II of the 3 Ring Binder. I just love this , it's too cute! It measures 5x5 with a 2" spine. Stacy and I were so excited when we figured out how to make these, think of the possibilities: a menu planner, an organizer for the kid's activities, a birthday or holiday planner. Really, the options are endless. The first pic is a front view.

This second picture is a view from the end, with the binder laying down.

Finally, the third picture is of the binder, open and showing the dividers.

3 Ring Binder-Part I

Happy Monday !! Today is part I of II on this super cute 3 ring binder. Last time Becky and I got together to catch up on our layouts, we started looking at a similar binder I had made and thought it would be fun to turn it into a 3 ring binder. Below is the front and side view. I tied ribbon around the rings to hide them and add a little flare. (I'm a minimalist at heart !!)

Here is the inside of the binder laying open. I made 3 dividers to go inside, the last one having a pocket to store receipts or notes:

And finally a close-up of the first divider. I decided not to name the dividers, I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for but it looks just as cute !! Stay tuned tomorrow for part II !!! Stacy
