Artist Tray

Just wanted to do a quick post of a quick project. I made this Artist tray for a gift I love the way they come together so easily just plop in photos ,paper and embellishments and your done. It is a quick project that can be made to be very personal. I did use my silhouette to cut out the "Son is a gift" that is what is so neat about the silhouette you can make your embellishments any size to fit your projects. I already have some ideas for future gifts can't wait to share them with you!!!

Tea Time 3d project

Hello, today I am sharing a project I made last year for my nieces girls getaway. It is a mixture of two different die cutting sites. The Asian dolls are from My scrap Chic and the Tea Cup and Tea Pot are from My Time, My Creations, My Stampendence both online sites with GSD files. I cut the tea pot Asian Dolls and large tea cup out with my silhouette. Each girl received a Asian Doll Card,a tag,large paper tea cup filled with tea bags, a bamboo place mat and a actual tea cup and saucer. Until next time. Alicia

One Layer Card

We had a challenge a few months ago in card club for a one layer design. This is always a challenge for me because I never know when enough is enough. So here is a simple one layer card just stamping and dry embossing..........yes I would love to add more LOL!!!

Sticker Shock Shutter Card

This months card for my card club(C.L.O.C.K) was to make a card using stickers. Well when this came out the challenge jar there was a deep gasp in the room from everyone except Kim our sticker queen.The rest of us have a little trouble incorporating stickers into a card but the outcome was some of our better cards. I chose to do my card as a shutter card this type of card with all of its little spaces is perfect for stickers. I embossed the background paper with the heart cuttlebug folder and the stickers I found at Dollar Tree what a deal.I posted the other 3 cards from Kim, Jeannette and Denise.
See ya next time.

Greek Plaque

My good friend recently joined the grad. chapter of a sorority AKA. We had talked about joining when we were in college but never got around to it during our undergrad years. Well she took the plunge and did it this past fall so I had to make her something for her accomplishment so I came up with this plaque. If you follow my blog you have seen me make these for shower gifts with the babies name. I did this one with the sororities letters as the focal point and her name off to the side. The right side has a paper doll next to the year she joined while the left side has her name in pearls and her line number in glitter. I used pre made dollies and dollies cut with my silhouette the doll was also cut with the silhouette. The colors are pink and green not the exact shades of the sorority but what I had on hand when I decided to make the plaque.
Thanks for stopping by

Thank -You and Happy New Year

Wow my last post of 2011 and I want to thank everyone for stopping by my blog. I know my post have not been consistent but I will try to do better in 2012 so stick with me. I also will try to visit more of your blogs so if you drop by please leave a comment with your blog address. For those of you who I already have your blog address I will try to leave more comments in 2012.
Now on to the beautiful card for today, I think a thank you card is perfect for the last post of the year and this is not one of my own cards but was done by my friend Ann Krucek. I love this type of card with clean lines and just the right touch of embellishments. I seem to never know when or how to stop adding embellishments to my cards which is why sometimes it takes me so long to do a card. This card has the right mixture of texture which comes from the dry embossing and pattern paper to give it a nice visual balance. I can't wait until Ann starts her own blog which will be filled with all kinds of crafts. I will post her website once she gets up and running.
I hope you all had a Wonderful Holiday and have a Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
