A Wild & Cute Baby Shower!

I've been working temporarily in Virginia for the last few weeks and one of my new co-workers is having a baby.  The rest of the staff wanted to throw a small shower for he and his wife so you know I couldn't resist making a few decorations!!


I used the Create-A-Critter cartridge to cut out the cute little animals and DonJuan for font on the front of the box.  I used a silk flower block inside of the box and then attached lollipop sticks to the back each character to hold them in place.  I shredded a few sheets of green paper (different shades) to make the 'grass' and was all done!  I think they came out pretty cute for a last minute project!  

"Paws"-ing to Say Thank You

This is a card I made for a neighbor to say thanks for being so kind.  She is always extra nice to me when we happen to meet outside and I just wanted to say thanks!  I apprecirate great neighors!

I've had the DCWV Pets Stack *forever* and have never had an occasion to use it until now.  So I created this A2 card using Kraft paper, and three different pieces of the Pets stack layered together.  It was super simple, but she certainly appreciated it...and I appreciate that! LOL

Get Well Soon!!

Yesterday, I found out that one of my co-workers was not feeling well and was in the hospital.  Her supervisor asked me to make a card for her so the office could send their well wishes.  Of course I agreed!


I am right in the midst of several projects, so I knew that the card was going to have to be quick, but I didn't want to skimp on the quality.  But, thank God, every element of the card came together so quickly- right down the tea-themed stickers that I've had for 3 years! (my co-worker LOVES tea!) I've never been able to figure out how to use these stickers before- but last night they practically jumped on the card! LOL!

Hopefully this card will lift her spirits and let her know we care!

And the Craze Continues...

So I am *clearly* having  a good time with these altered notebooks- I decided to create one for every woman who works in my building!  I customized each book for its recipient, while sticking to my usual style of wide binding, inked edges, and the use of a custom clasp.  Here's the 'final wave' of notebooks!
