Birthday Card

This cute little card is about 4" by 3". I used up some scraps. The card is Rose Red Cardstock from Stampin Up. I used a scrap of designer paper from K & Company's Life's Journey pack. The stamp comes from Teeny Tiny Wishes. Burgandy Ribbon. Nothing fancy.

Hoot Hoot

This card reminds me of kwarnerdesigns.com. Kristine does a lot of layering and faux stitching and she loves polka dots. I also used her favorite ink - Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roane. The paper is Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa and Ivory Naturals all from Stampin Up. The Designer paper comes from K & Company's Amy Butler pack. The stamp comes from Hero Arts.

Another Composition Note Pad

I started by rounding the corners of the note pad. I used my scissors to do this a few pages at a time. Then I covered it with K & Company's So Saffron paper. I added a button to the front by sewing it on thru the cover and pattern paper. Then added ribbon to the back leaving a loop to go around the button for a closure. To finish it off I added a strip of the paper to the spine to cover the ribbon and the spine of the note pad. I also made a coordinating pen.

Enjoy, Chris

Desk Calendars

I create these calendars each year to use at work. I have one handy on my desk. I put another in my Legal Pad Portfolio. I used round coasters that we picked up from Red Lobster when we ate there the other day. The square coaster came from Hobby Lobby. I covered them with K & Company Paper, Carolyn Gavin's Greenhouse collection. Then added eyelets to the round calendars. I picked these eyelets up in the Leather section at Hobby Lobby. They have a longer shank than crafting eyelets. On the square calendar I used apple buttons with a shank on the back. I put the shank thru the holes I punched with the Crop-A-Dile. I used a twist tie to secure the buttons on the back. Plan to put that one in the portfolio so no one will see the back. I sponged around the edge of two of the calendars. I will probably go back and sponge the other it looks kinda plain without it.

Busy Days Ahead

If you saw my post from 12-18-09. We will be moving at the end of the month. I can't believe all that we have to do by then. Besides keeping our current house clean and tidy for showings we have 3 rooms to paint in the new house and carpets to clean. I have several posts scheduled for you during the month. I will have a new post every Friday. I will also be checking the blog for your comments. Please leave me a comment sometime I would love to hear from you.
