Aunt's Birthday

My Aunt Angie's birthday is in October, but I already have her card made. I think it came out so cute! I modeled the layout from a card I did at one of my Stampin' Up demonstrator's workshops. The solid cardstock is from the current Stampin' Up In Colors and the print paper is from BoBunny that I bought at a scrapbook store a few weeks ago. When I was pulling out paper to make this card, I noticed that the colors in both sets just happened to match perfectly. I love it when things unexpectedly work out so well!















Ingredients: Stampin' Up Bermuda Bay and Dusty Durango cardstock; BoBunny Island Mist Dot, Kitchen Spice Nutmeg (plaid), and Kitchen Spice Cloves (flowers) paper; SU Party Hearty stamp set; SU Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, and Crushed Curry ink; and SU Crushed Curry 1/2" polka-dot grosgrain ribbon.

Another Holiday Workshop

Jimmie Lyn, my co-worker/crafting buddy, invited our Stampin' Up demonstrator Kathy to hold a workshop at Jimmie's house for some of Jimmie's friends. Here are the projects we made.


This card was made using SU's Sweet Treat Cups. The candy corn is inside a plastic cap that has been inserted through a circle punched into the card. The paper around the cap forms a pocket that the black tab slides into. To get to the candy, slide the black tab up. It's so cool!






































This note pad holder is made out of a file folder that we trimmed and folded.




















This one was made almost entirely out of punches -- the tree, stars, and circles on the right edge were all done using punches.

Brother's Roxy Scrapbook

So you've seen the two scrapbooks I did of our dog Roxy, one for my mom and one for me. Well I didn't want to leave my brother out, but since he's not really into the scrapbook thing I made him a photo album/mini-scrapbook. His birthday is in a few days so it's going to be part of his gift. The pages are in a 4x6 photo book whose cover is faux animal skin in teal that I found at Michael's. All of the patterned paper I found at Micheal's too. So this closes out the Roxy scrapbook series. Here are a few pages.
