Mellow Christmas

Here is a soft looking Christmas card I did with
my friends. We all seem to like the non-typical
Christmas colors and the tree is embossed in Gold.
I really like this card.

Gift card holder

Here is a little gift card holder SUPER EASY to make.
Take a 4 1/4" x 11" CS, score at 3, 5 & 8 inches.
Fold to make in inverted V and glue three sides on the
inverted V. Take the wonderword punch on side and the circle
punch in the centre. The band measures 1" x 7".
Stamp and embellish as you wish.

Wow, this was fun and super easy! I usually take at least an hour for every single challenge or project - this one less than 10 minutes. That's a record for me. Note to Donna: You are welcome to borrow this set anytime.

My student's cards/Les cartes de mes eleves

These are two cards that were fabricated by my two shining students who always give their 110% efforts at my mother/daughter stamp club.

The 'Wanted' card was done by Shauna's Mom, Donna - and I think it is spectacular - it really got a 'wow' reaction from everyone when she showed this card to us. I just love how she draped that rope around and the colors are so soft and pretty. I grade this one
at 100%! Great job Donna!

The 'Fete' card was fabricated by Mai-Kim's Mom, Carole and she really outdid herself on this one. It was for Alys-Ann's 13th birthday and I just love the use of the flowers and the use of colors and the 3-d effects. I give this card an A+!

La carte intitule 'Fete' a ete fabriquee par Carole, la maman de Mai-Kim pour les 13 ans d'Alys-Ann, la grande soeur de Mai-Kim. Elle a fait une carte spectaculaire surtout avec le choix de couleurs et les effets 3-d. J'adore aussi les fleurs fusion.
50/50 Carole!

Here is a Christmas card I made for the Splitcoast Stampers Challenge. I used the new DP for the Holiday mini and embossed
the star from the Scandinavian stamp set in silver.

Beate's Weekend Sketch

This is my first Sketch Challenge with Beate John.
She is wonderfully creative and her blog is
truly inspirational. I see quite a few other bloggers
doing the week-end challenge and thought I should
try it too.

Jade's Room

When Jade was approaching the big TEN, we decided to re-do her room to have a more grown up look - gone were the princess colors, dollhouse and dolls to be replaced by I-Pods and docking stations, bulletin boards, queen size bed, etc. For her wall over her bed, she chose something from Stampin' Up's Decor elements with that beautiful bird. The frames I made for her to accentuate the red, black and white theme also with Stampin' Up! materials. I think she is pretty happy with the results.
