Newest Creation!

This is a going away/housewarming card for our favorite couple - they have moved about 1200 miles away just a few months after getting married.  I wanted to emphasize that life is a journey and this is just a stop to record in their travelogue...inside I stamped "It is not adieu."  I used brown cardstock and stamped Stampin' Up French Script in aqua for the background.  I then used a map from Alluring Impressions and stamped in brown on aqua paper.  Underneath is a gold and copper patterned ribbon with a cute brad that says "Believe."  The word "Travelogue" is stamped on aqua paper and I embossed with copper embossing powder.  The card looks rich and beautiful in person and the photo, unfortunately, does not do it justice.  I love it, though:-)

Gift Making

Well, today I am making die cuts as a gift for someone who has a wrapping room and loves to decorate gfts bags for all occasions.  My goal is 100 - lots of Christmas, some birthday, and a few miscellaneous occasions for which she needs gift wrapping.  Next up will be 100 custom gift tags, and then 100 stamped sentiments or words.  Finally, perhaps an alphabet or two.  I have already made the 10 cards - shown previously on the site, and I plan to put in some enevelope templates, some pop dots and a few other miscellaneous items... Hope she likes it!

Finally!!!

My new Unity sets came - I love them! Can't wait to make a few cards and post the photos...

Still Waiting

I'm still waiting patiently for my new Unity sets - Hodgepodge of Happinesss and July KOTM.  Please Mr. Postman!  (Or in my case, Ms. Postman).
