Father's Day Card

I just realized that tomorrow is Father's Day!!  I found this card http://jenniemstampinspot.blogspot.com/2011/06/fathers-day-pennant-parade.html and pretty much cased it completely.  The only thing that I changed was the flag.  Happy Father's Day to all my wonderful friends!!

Baseball Thank You Card

We just finished our 3rd year of Instuctional Baseball with our son.  He was lucky enough to be with the best coaches!!  I made this card for our 4 coaches and added gift cards from the whole team.

Beach Bag

Well, I did it again. I have been so busy and I've neglected my blog. I have made a lot of teachers gifts for the end of the year. I have also had some of my "girls" over to work on different teacher gifts. I can't believe that the school year is over in 3 more days! I feel like my son just started Kindergarten, but now he is almost done with the second grade!

I used the Summer Fun set to make these flip flop cards. I just love this set! To make the beach bag big enough to fit 8 cards and envelopes I took a piece of 12x12 DSP, cut it at 7 1/2 inches then cut that into 2-6 inch pieces. I sealed the 2 pieces together at the short ends to make one 6X14 3/4 inch long piece using the double sided red tape. I next took a piece of cardstock, cut it 5 1/2x3 1/2. Score this piece at a half inch all around and make a box. Using the red line tape I attached the DSP to the box to make the bag in a box. Last, I sealed two 7 1/2 inch pieces of cardstock together for the top and bottom and attached two 3/4 inch pieces for the handles. Great summer birthday gift!!

Graduation Cards

Ok 3 posts in one day! I am so behind because sometimes my blog doesn't let me upload pictures. I'm alot more handy with stamps and paper than I am with computers. Bear with me everyone.
These are some cards I designed for some more of my co-workers. This is a very busy Graduation Season for people!!

Scoring time saving trick

I have been cutting up a lot of cards lately for my CF workshops and orders that I've gotten. Scoring every card individually is very time consuming. I figured out that if I score a piece of 8 1/2x 11 cardstock before cutting it that I can score 2 cards for the same amount of time that it takes to score 1!! This also works if you are making a number of 3x3 cards. Just take a piece of 12x12 cardstock and score it at 3 inches and 9 inches. Then you can cut the paper at the 6 inch mark. Turn it and cut the scored paper at 3 inch cuts. You now have 8 cards scored in the time that it usually takes to score 2! Hope this helps some of you out. I never realized when I was just taking workshops how much time it takes to cut out the projects.

Flip Flop Bag and Card Set

I made this bag to go with the matching cards for a co-worker to give as a gift. I love the flip flops, but didn't love coloring them all in!!

Fundraising results

I wanted to thank everyone who helped make my CF fundraising efforts so successful. A special thanks to my dear friend, Michelle Surette. She came along to all of the workshops except for one. Without her help I would have been in trouble (especially the one with 17 girls!!). Altogther I raised $1420 to help find a cure for CF. It's a great feeling to be able to help out doing something that I love so much!
