Stamping World Meets Digital World

Wow - I do love this look of black ink on kraft cardstock! (Waving to Lisa - she's the one who gave me this idea!) Ok, as far as Digital World - not too much here - but it is a start! I used PhotoShop to make my boxes and for the sentiment, but the bunny is a rubber stamp.





These are in my Etsy Shop and if you purchase a set (or 2 sets or 3 sets - gotta dream big! lol) I will include some kraft envelope seals.

I'm Thinking Blueberries

I made a Treasury last night on Etsy. It is so fun looking for items to include in Treasuries.
Please stop by and check out this Treasury. I would love a comment too!
This Treasury will expire Saturday early afternoon.

Business card holder and thank you notes

This is a combination business card holder with a place to write a personal note of thanks. I just love this paper.

Please join in the Thursday blog parties at Everything Etsy, Life as Lori and Somewhat Simple.







The digital stamp is from The Cutting Cafe, but I changed the center image.

Sweet Birthday Cards

I have really like these small birthday gift enclosures. They are really helpful to have on hand for that birthday that crept up on me. I have plans to make in different colors, like purple and blue.









Thank you for looking.

Vintage Sheet Music Envelope Seals

My poor blog has been so neglected. Occasionally, I will play with Beverly's Pink Saturday, but with 2 boys, there isn't much pink around.

Today, I saw at Everything Etsy, a blog party (thanks Lisa!!!) and I decided to join.

These are envelope seals I made with vintage music. The music came from my mother's house and she got a ton of music years ago when my Grandmother passed away. These are music pieces that my Grandmother did not care for - not her favorite music. My Grandmother was a very talented piano player.

Pink Saturday - Valentine's Edition

I have joined Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for her weekly Pink Saturday. Unfortunately, Beverly has had surgery this week. Everyone hopes Beverly will be feeling better soon.

I bought several of these soaps to give my Mother, sister, niece, and myself for Valentine's Day. Last Sunday my Mother told me her Sunday school class at church was having a party for Valentine's and needed a small gift to exchange. Pulling my soaps from the package, I told her she could have the one that I bought myself. I wrapped it for her in pink tissue and made a heart sticker to close it up like stores do at Christmas time, made the little card and placed it all in a small white gift bag. She was very happy with the small gift. Even though I didn't get a soap for myself, it felt good that she was pleased with the gift she had for the party.

By the way, she got chocolate for her gift - something she really likes...



Happy Valentine's Day!

New Year Card

My cousin called me the other day asking me to make some New Year Cards for her to send to friends. I started by looking at blogs to see if I could find something I thought I could replicate and I found this at No Time to Stamp. I have the same basic idea but with a twist. I layered 3 snowflakes together with the second snowflake in a darker blue and I used Stickles on it to make it glitter. I also stamped 3 snowflakes and embossed them in silver embossing powder.

The inside is the sample that I sent my cousin. When I went to the store to get blue cardstock, the colors of blue had changed, so the actual inside of the card matches the outside. Really, they do match!



Well, I will use my cousin's card idea and post it on my blog to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
