Thank You Jar




I finally made one of these. I have been wanting to make something with the rub-ons, but have been procrastinating. I used the SU! prints paper pack and whisper white. The SU! scallop punch and 1 3/8" circle punch. Rubberstamp from the SU! Lovely Labels set. Rub-Ons (Love and Happiness) from the SU! sale-a-bration mini catalog. I also put inside some kissables. The ribbon is 1/4" grosgrain pretty in pink. The glass jar I bought came in a set of 9. They are for making little favors.
I believe I bought these jars at Pat Catans in the wedding supplies. JoAnns and Michaels may have them also.

Empty Tomb


I wanted to use this stamp for Easter because it is why we celebrate Easter. I used generic paper, SU! Classic Basic Black Ink Pad, Chalks, and blender pens. I wasn't happy with the turnout until I went over the whole stamped image with a rainbow gelly roll pen. It helped bring out all of the colors and really enhanced it.

1st Workshop Card



This is my very first workshop card we made. I used SU! In Colors: Blue Bayou, River Rock, Wild Wasabi, and Whisper White. Designer paper: Porcelain Prints. Tools used: word window and slit punch. For the white dots I used the uni-ball Signo Gel Pen. Stamp from Fast and Fun Notes, Classic Basic Black Ink Pad, and generic ribbon. For the coloring we used the blender pens and dipped them into the chalks. Over all it was very fun. I have learned a few things I need to check and do the next time I have a workshop. Hopefully each one will only get better.

Chipboard Coaster calendar/post it notes



My friend/SU upline, Heidi, gave me a bunch of chipboard coasters to play with. She told me how to make this over the phone. I am happy with the end results. Everything used is SU unless I write otherwise. The paper is from the prints pack. For the front I used the scallop punch and the word window punch. The flower and saying are rub-ons from the Love & Happiness set in Old Olive. For the inside I used part of a post-it-note pad. The scallop punch and spiral punch. I downloaded the calendar from a website. The brads, eyelets, and ribbon aren't SU. It takes a while to buy all that you need when you sign up. I am working on it though.

Birthday Wishes


I love how this one turned out. I got my idea from the business cards I made. All things used are SU. Paper is handsome hunter and whisper white. I used elegant eggplant and handsome hunter stamp pads. The larger swirl from Priceless and the small and big flower from Office Accoutrement stamp sets. The large oval punch and birthday wishes from the Sincere Salutations stamp set. I used this card for my very first card swap.

Cuttlebug meets Glitter


Ok, I tried the cuttlebug with the glue pad from Tsukineko. I used the flower from SU's Big Flowers set and the saying from Sincere Salutations. Once again I used generic paper. I have to say it is not something I would do very often. I am not one for messes. This, due to the glitter, fits into that category.

Beeing Thoughtful!


Here is a card I made with just generic paper. The beehive stamp is from Imaginations. The bees stamp is Inkadinkado. I mainly used colored pencils on this one. The bees are attached with 3-d dots. The shiny part was done with a rainbow gelly roll pen. I love how this one turned out. I also seem to really like the dark colors. Hope you like it too.
