First Scallop Dress!

Alright I know that this Designer Paper is LONG retired, but I thought it would make a cute dress. (Glad I saved it now!) Does anyone remember what this is called or do you even have any left or am I the only one? I am down to less than 1 sheet of this one and the purple one like it. Hard to believe, I know. Shows how big of a paper horder I am! LOL Any way, made a little purse to go with it from the Round Tab Punch. I know it's hard to see, but I did the background using the Soft Swirls BG stamp for that little touch.

Jamie's Birthday Card

This is the birthday card I made for Jamie to match the gift bag I bought for her. I inked up the embossing plate/folder before I ran it through the Big Shot and then used matching colors to color in around the paisleys. Jamie LOVES paisleys! So this ended up perfect for her!

INKS: Pink Passion, Green Galore, Apricot Appeal, Barely Banana, Pixie Pink
PAPERS: Pink Pirouette, Green Galore, White

Pinwheel Card

Hi everyone! I saw this pinwheel card on Lyssa's blog and thought I'd give it a try myself. It was pretty easy. When I was out shopping the other day I saw these colors on a pair of sandles and thought I want to use these colors on a card. Well I just put the two together and here is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy. And check out Lyssa's blog (Song of my Heart) for instructions on how to make this card.

Decorative Mirror

This year I have decided to get a head start on my Christmas Craft Show projects. So here is a peak at another one I am FINALLY getting around to. I got one of these last year during a swap at Convention and KNEW I wanted to do one for the craft show. As usual time got away from me and I never got to it. Well, I did this this morning. I really liked how it turned out. And believe it or not it is really easy to make. I hope this is a big seller for me this year. There is magnets on the back so that you can hang it in a locker. It perfect for that all important check between each class. It also has a cork board to pin up any important notes, phone numbers, ect.... I think girls will really like one of these. I am thinking of (maybe) making an option of having them personalized. What do you think?

Note Holder

Here's a cute little note holder that I made last night. I came across this idea yesterday on Julie Buhler's blog. Thought I'd give my hand a try at it. I think I may make a few of these for the Christmas Craft Show I attend. This one is actually for Jamie. Hope she likes it!

Flowers for You!

I had some "ME" time today to play with my Big Shot! So I came up with this little number. I saw a technique where you inked up your embossing plate before sending it thru and it comes out looking so neat!!! I just love it! This just might be a new favorite! Then I cut out all the flowers and leaves and layered them in the flower pot and here is what I ended up with. Hope you enjoy!
