A Card For Kalli...



I made this card for my friend's daughter Kalli who performed in the Mulan play over the weekend. We took the family to watch the play and the girls really enjoyed it! Kalli was one of the ancestors and did such a great job! We are so proud of her! After the performance we congratulated her with this card which included a GC for Yogurtland! Way to go Kalli!

Our Holiday Stamp Camp...





Our Holiday Stamp Camp was held yesterday and it was another fun-filled day for our guests! This is a picture of the welcome sign that I created. Since it was "Holiday" themed, I wanted to make a gingerbread house. You might not be able to see it in the picture, but I scored lines on the house to make it look like bricks. I used the Tart & Tangy stamp set to decorate the house along with some punch art. I also wrapped buttons in saran wrap and tied it with dental floss to make the little candies.



These are the favors that I made for the stamp camp. 50 reindeers and 50 santas were on my to do list for a while, but once I sat down to start, it didn't take long to make them. I used the Petals-A-Plenty Textured Impressions Folder to design the triangle favor box along with some punch art.





These are the projects that our guests worked on and they were designed by Naoko, Jenn, Sonya, & Shelby. Jane also did a demo of the My Digital Studio. Even though I bought it a while ago, I still haven't had the chance to use it... or even open it! But now that I know how to use it, I guess it's time to sit down and try it out... no more excuses for me.

Another Attempt At Boy Punch Art...





I tried another attempt at making a boy punch art. Seems to me I might need to stick to "girls" rather than "boys" cause they don't come out as cute or something. Anyways, I used the Top Note Die to make this gift card holder. The card itself was cut on the fold and then I used half of another piece for the inside pocket. Check back tomorrow for some great BRAKS that I received...

Build-A-Bear Cards...



My girls helped me to put these build-a-bear cards together this past weekend. It was really easy to do since my oldest loves to run things through the big shot. It's also a great way to use up your scraps! Have a great weekend!
