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.

Will that's it for today!!

Summertime.... and the livin' is easy

Hi Everyone!!

Will I finished my box for the Summertime cards I made a few weeks ago....

Check this out!

 I love how it turned out...

I had to cut down my size some because these cards are 3.5 x 6 so everything need to be changed some, but it turned out nicely I think!

Here's a pic of it closed and tied with a bow.....

Here's one of 4 cards I had made... If you'd like to see the other 3 cards just go back a few week to see them all!

As Always,

Thanks for stopping by again!

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
• Finished Card Size; 4.25" x 5.5"

Thanks for stopping by again!

Humming Bird Gift Set

Hi Everyone!

It's going on a week now since I started this Humming Bird Gift Set. 

Will I finished it today!!!!!

YEA!!!!!

Here's a picture of all the cards, yes they are all the same but for different occations like Birthday, Thank You, Hi, Just because...My girlfriend asked me to make her a set all the same like this and it went well as long as I as able to work on them but I had things come up and was delayed a few times. 

But there finished now!!

No this is not a card......... it's the box I made to hold the cards......Neat Ha?

Which I could say I though this up all by my lonesome but no..... I got it from a blog I watch daily called

Amazing Paper Grace by Becca.  All the instructions and mesurments can be found on  the Our Daily Bread Designs web sit... Check it out you will love it!  I did change mine a little to fit the card size I made mine one inch less on one side...

Anyways  I decorated the outside very much the same as the cards with a few things different. 

Here's a peek inside......the ribbon will tie it closed with a nice bow.

And here's the inside with all 6 cards and envelops.... not bad Ha?

Know I'm going to be using this card box again... love the look and it's really very simple to do too.

Hope she likes it!!!

Here's a shot of the full set...

 This is the outside of a half of a Jr pad....

 this is the inside of the half of Jr. pad, I put a little pink flap on the cover to put coupons in maybe....?

 This is the whole Jr. Pad....

 I covered a 2 year calendar to match and even got the plastic cover back on.....yea!

 And of course my fav the Com-book, I love these....

 this is the inside of the Com-book with some Book marks I slid in the flap inside.

Don't think I'll see her for a while so I may mail it to her and give her a surprise... I know I love getting something in the mail and know she does too...

Card Book for Cora

Guess What???

I've finished Cora's Card Book.... YEA!

I hope she likes it... I changed the way you close this one, I like this too because it lays out of the way when open and allows for the book to expand too, check it out.

See the 2 buttons on the right?? they are holding the elastic for the closer....

Back Cover.

Many of the envelops are very similar to the first Card Book I did but like anything handmade there are some changes or differences... I try to make everything I do a little different for you. Like on this one I changed the way the book is closed, I used ribbon and elastic to pull over a large button on the front cover.  It's different but very cute with the ribbon over the elastic. 

Book with 6-Compartments (cards not included) 20.00.

Most cards I make are 3.00 or 3.50 each depending on detail work.

Like anything hand made no two will be alike, maybe very close but can't promise.

Hope you enjoyed!
