Birthday card & matching tea bag!
I’ve a sister who is not particularly fond of pinks & purples. So I selected a blueish/green digital print for the card & matching tea bag cover. I added some washi tape that I’d bought at Walgreens on a whim – I just wanted to buy some & didn’t find one I particularly liked, but I liked this the best of [...]

Birthday card for my niece
This is from last year & from the Cricut Art Nouveau cartridge.  I just love that cart!  Both the sentiment on the front & the image on the inside top are from it.  I cut a label for underneath the front sentiment & distressed the edges with the Zutter Distrezz-It-All & then inked the edges. The paper is from Mirabelle by The [...]

Retirement card with attached CD
A friend of ours retired last year. I compiled a CD of retirement songs & made a card that was attached to the box by using the Zutter Bind-It-All. I pretty much finished this five minutes before walking out the door to the retirement party, so this is the only photo I got of it. I need to make another one for someone else, so will try to [...]

I like these as small gifts.  Something you can give someone & they won’t feel obligated to give something in return.  Plus, it’s something if they don’t like, they can always re-gift it. This is the most recent one.  The flower on the front is the first rolled/quilled flower, I’ve done.  They look a bit complicate [...]

QVC-flameless-candles
Last holiday season, my hostess gift of choice was a flameless candle bought in three packs from QVC. But since they came in a three pack, I needed a box for each one. So…I made them on my Silhouette Cameo.   This one was gifted right before Thanksgiving, so I wanted a fall theme but not really Thanksgiving, yet. This one was fo [...]

Momism-book-_0000
I compiled this booklet last year. After my mother passed away, I had this insatiable need to make something physical that would either remind people of her or would acquaint people with her.  For several months, I fought with this need, since I really didn’t know what I wanted to make or how to make it.  I just knew I needed [...]

Since my mother passed away in April 2012, I’ve decided to remember her birthday each year by having a girls luncheon. It keeps me from being sad on that day & is always a lot of fun. One of the things I most enjoy about my girls luncheon is I get to do it up all girly. I use my wedding china, crystal & silver. Sometimes I n [...]
