By Air

Our grandson just turned 2 this past August and he is just a mess. Even though we don't get to see him every week, we try to talk with him on the phone. He loves coming to visit Big Poppa and Mammaw. Here is a picture of our last visit with him and a card that I made him.


Stamp Set: By Air (retired) and Simply Circles

Paper: Real Red, and Night of Navy

Supplies: Night of Navy, Real Red stamp pads, & Red Gingham ribbon















He loves Thomas the train and since I love to sew also, I made him some "Thomas the Train" pillow cases. In the next picture, he was show Big Poppa all about the train track.


On my last post, I put red and black grosgrain ribbon and as you can tell it was the red and black gingham ribbon. Sorry for the error.

Happy Stamping!!

Teacher Appreciation Week

This week at my daughter's school it is Teacher Appreciation Week. She is in the 4th grade and I know how her teacher likes to send notecards and can always use notepads. So I made her a few cute items (band-aid holder, 3 x 3 notecards in box, gum holder, tic tac holder and covered her a 3 x 5 pastel scratch pad. Here is a picture of them:

They all turned out so cute and I cased the gum holder and tic tac holder from Rochelle and I can't remember where I got the cute little box from. Here are the directions for it. Start with a 7.5 x 5.5 piece of cardstock. Score it 1" in parallel to the long sides and 3" in parallel to the short sides. I cut the short scored lines and used the sticky strip to hold the sides together. I added ribbon for the handles and cover the sides with printed paper.

The cute band-aid box I ordered was from EB Creations and used the same paper and design to cover it. Once I measure it, I ran it through my sticker maker making it easier to glue to the container. Sorry I don't have the measurements. I still have a couple to make and I'll try to get the measurements then. I used red grossgrain ribbon on the top and bottom to cover some of my rough edges.

Supplies: Stampin Up Scallop, 1 3/8", 1 1/4" punch, Real Red, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, Summer Picnic Scrapbook Paper, White Ribbon (Not SU), Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Black & Garden Green Stamp Pad, Real Red Marker.

Stamp Sets: Tart & Tangy, Year Round Cheer (Retired), and Very Punny (Retired)

This is only my second post and I'm still learning how to format and get things where I want them. If you have any advice, please e-mail me. Thanks!

Stepping Out

I've been trying for months to get my blog set up but working a full time job just seems to get in the way. When I find time, I love to stamp, scrapbook, sew and bake. I guess you could say I've got to many hobbies but I'm enjoy them all. Here is a card I just made for a great friend of mine.

Stamps: Merci

Stamp Pads: Black Regal Rose, & Whisper White

Paper: Black, Regal Rose

Supplies: Regal Rose & Certainly Celery Markers

I recently did a workshop and demonstrated some great items that I got from http://impressionsbyrochelle.blogspot.com/ where I cased her gum holder, tic tac holder, and notepad cover. They were all great hits. Sorry I don't have pictures of mine. I'll try to post them later.

I also have a love for baking cakes. I recently baked a UNC Tarheel cake for a friends little boy who just turned 8 and then a couple of weeks later, I made one for his mom's b'day. Here is the cakes
