Joann's Birthday

Christmas Candy Box

Grouped together they make a cute Christmas scene!

This past year my Rotary Club kept up the tradition we set last year of doing a Progressive Dinner for our Christmas/Holiday party.  I wanted to give all the hosts a little something as a thank you and decided to do these little treat boxes.
I copied the template for these boxes from one I made at a class.  The instructor had used an SU die which had to be much easier than cutting out four of them like I did these!!  I still had fun doing the project and the hosts all appreciated them.

Amy Lynn

 My daughter-in-law Amy's birthday was yesterday.  She love, love, loves cats. So, of course,  I found this cutest stamp to make her card.  This is the card I patterned the Card Swap card from.
This was probably one of the easiest cards I've done - it was easy to just grab this and that and put it together!

Card Swap

 

 

My favorite store Memories of Time is having a card-swap.  There will be a maximum of 6 people involved.  Each will make a card and then make 5 kits with instructions and materials for the others to make.  The trick is to be able to put it together in 15 - 20 minutes.   I just love the Penny Black kitties so I used "Cat on the Moon".  I stamped the image on the star paper (thanks for the idea Tam!), stamped in again on white, colored, and then fussy cut it. I colored some silver metal stars with a copic marker.  I made 5 kits which will go together in the alotted time!

Wedding Anniversary

My son and his wife celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary at the end of September.  They are a  nice, modern, handsome couple who enjoy doing a lot of things.  They spent their anniversary at the coast this year, hiking, taking photos and just getting away from the normal every day routine. I created this cute card with a Penny Black stamp.  I used various papers I had and of course, colored the image with Copic markers.
