Gift Set "J"

Here's a Gift Set I made for a friend of my Mom & Dad's that comes and sits with my Dad while I take my Mom shopping each week.  She is so good with him, he's blind and had a stroke that left him with very little short term memory, so always needs someone to be with him. 

Here's the box for the card....

this is the inside.....

and here's the cards, all a little different and blank inside...

I am entering these in the "Just Us Girls #129" challenge.

Does my Butt Look Big?

Yes, that is the question I asked for this weeks Color Throwdown-184???
These are just beautiful colors to work with too.....

Ok, here's the compleat question......????????

I say NO! I think it's a cute little butt!!!
Sorry my picture is a little washed out. Can't seam to get a good pic anymore...
If you look closely at the background paper you'll see it's honey cones.... just a little play with paper there...

and you know I had to fix up the inside too.....
But all in all this was a really FUN card for me....
I just love using Rubberneckers stamps, there always FUN!!!
Now that ribbon was a real fine from willlll, now that I'm thinking about it, I think it's been 3 or 4 years ago and don't think the store is open anymore.... bought it by the yard so don't have a name.. but it's just really cute!
I used GellyRoll clear star's on the wings and stinger, made it look sheer and sparkly too... but you can't see it in my dreadful pic...
and used black arond all the edges to make all the layers stand out.
Here's what I used;
  • Card Size closed / 4.25 x 5.5
  • Papers/ Creative Memories, SU, and DCWV- Linen Closet stack
  • Inks & Pens & Coloring/ Close to my Heart- Black to sponge with, and Bamboo on the inside, Memento-Tuxedo Black for the front image to color, and SU-Watercolor Crayons for my coloring.
  • Misc./ Ribbon-stash,
     Will that's it!

Black, White & Red!

Hi Everyone!!
Will I'm doing something NEW for me.....
I'm going to participate in a "Challenge"!!
Yep! Many of you have asked why I don't do this and the answer is...
Will I never felt like I could stand up to the competition.  No I'm not getting any more sure of myself, but I keep getting gentle nudges so I though I would try this one...
The site Going Buggy is doing the challenge....
and here is my Card;
I know this pic dose not show up the white very good but it is white honest!

Here you can see how it opens and the inside is left blank for your notes.

this is a view of the gift set with the box and all, I stamped the envelops too on the front and back just to add a little interest. 
Will wish me luck!!!!
Here's the things I used;


  • Close to my Heart stamps/Baroque Alphabet E-1006
  • Memento Texedo Black ink
  •  Ribbon; Celebrate It-5/8" RED
  • Paper used; Creative Memories-Black, SU-White, Misc-print, for the box I used a File Folder from Michaels-Dossiers
