Heartfelt Thanks Gift Card Holders

Greetings dear blog friends,

I have been trying to get these whole craft space redo organized, but I keep getting sidetracked. I made a few more gift card holders today and wanted to share them with you.

I used that same paper pack as in my previous post, which was from Me & My Big Ideas. It's called "We Go to School" and has some really cute papers in it. I used A Child's Year for the tag.

I've listed this as a set of 6 in my Etsy store, here.

I'll share the measurements with you in the next post.

Stay Crafty.

Easter Layout 2012

Good Morning everyone,

I have a quick Easter layout to share with you today. Another group that I belong to challenged me to use only pastel colors, a bunny, and an egg image to create a layout. I have to be honest, the creative juices haven't been flowing lately. On top of that, my stomach has decided after being quiet for a couple of months that it needs some attention. So anyway, here's my half-sleep, no motivation layout. My apologies for the bad lighting.

I didn't really have a lot of pastel colored paper. So I found the lightest shades of purple, pink, and yellow that I had. Ok, so black isn't really a pastel, but it's a neutral so I threw it in there. ;-)

I used A Child's Year for all the cuts. The massive egg (that I'm using as a photo mat) was cut on Fit to Length at 10 inches. The title was cut at 2 inches and the little girl feeding the rabbit was cut at 4 inches.  My title isn't adhered down due to not being able to find my Zig 2-Way glue pen. Have I mentioned that my Scrap Cave is a disaster? I need to do some serious spring cleaning down there!

Stay Crafty

Congrats cards

Two quick cards tonight.

Card #1 - A really good friend of mine is in nursing school. She recently was awarded the Top Nursing student in all of West Virginia!!! If that's not reason for a special card, I don't know what is.




I used Locker Talk for the card. Cut at 4.25. The layers were cut at 1.75. I kept this card simple since it is going in the mail. The sentiment is stamped using Just Wordz sentiments.

Card #2 - A coworker recently was accepted onto a new contact doing some pretty special work. Unfortunately I can't tell you what that work is, but trust me it's a BIG deal. She will still be with our company just Not in our office. She's moving to DC, and we are all going to miss her bubbliness. I wanted to let her know, even though she didn't work directly with us, we all wish her well.




Over the weekend, I found A Child's Year on clearance at my local Walmart. So I picked it up. Everything is on this card is cut from the cartridge. The card base is cut at 6 inches (since it will not be in an envelope), the mat is cut at 5.75 (I recut the card and trimmed the top off). The oval is cut at 4 inches. The rose is cut at 2.5. I inked all the edges with brown ink. The paper is DCWV Mediterranean Cafe. The sentiment is stamped with the same Just Wordz set. If you haven't checked them out, do so. They stamp wonderfully and the words line up spaced perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by.
