Gift Card Holders . . . .

Gift card holders in under 10 minutes? HUH? That's right!!!! I just love my Scor-Pal. I found the directions on how to make these gift card holders at http://blog.ginakdesigns.com/
Scroll to the November 11, 2008, post and you will find the directions for the purse gift card holder. Scroll down a little further and there are directions for the regular card holder.
I decorated the inside with SU double sided paper and for the middle part that holds the actual gift card, I punched this section with my SU square punch! They outside of the holders were made out of Stampin Up's "IN" colors. The skull is a stamp set called Spooky Nightmare from Lil

Davis Designs/Fiskars. The stamp set on the red holder is a Christmas set that I picked up at Walmart for $2.49! Can't beat that price! :)
I just got done watching Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving! I LOVE THIS SEASON!!!!!!
Have a great nite and see ya'll 2morrow!!!!

Invites for a slumber party . . .


When the little girl across the street walked over and asked me to make her slumber party invites, there was NO WAY, I was going to tell her no!!! For a 6 year old she had her color scheme picked out and everything! Her colors were all pink and brown, so the first sample I showed them, they were in love. I used brown and I know it's hard to see in the picture of the inside of the sleeping bag is pink polka dots. I used the sleeping bag from the Under the Stars set. The Hello Kitty backpack was a little something that I made for her with the little items that I thought I was gonna stick in there, but it wasn't as big as I thought! :)
Have a great nite!

My Attempt at Artwork . . .


Okay, the card is made for me by my friend Yolanda. I LOVE IT! She gave it to me the nite we took this class :)
The other two pieces are thin metal that we could either freehand or trace on image on. I didn't color mine, but I really like the way it came out! Taking a picture os these was really hard. The bottom image is of a married couple.
Have a great nite!

Look What I did . . .


Today I took a "Day of the Dead" art class with this man . . .
Who is this man? Well, I'm glad you asked, let me tell you . . .
His name is Daniel Martinez. He is an Artist & Teacher, and a nice,
smart man who is printed in 4th grade history books! I enjoyed taking his class. He started off by telling us about the history of the Day of the Dead celebration. We got to watch videos, browse through some AWESOME books, paint and create, we got to eat tamales, sweet bread, chips, dips and tequila. It was a GREAT time!!!

What did I create? Well let me show you SOME of my stuff.
Our first project was an alter. We made this alter out of cigar boxes and we had to think of someone that passed away and put things in our boxes that represented them. I, of course did mines in honour of my NANA.

Okay, the uploading of these pictures is NOT cooperating with me right now, so I'll give you a teaser! These are only two pictures, rest to follow 2morrow! :)
I picked this picture for the outside of my box because my Nana was part of the Red Hat Society.

This picture is of the inside lid of my box. The marachi's are because she LOVED music. Loved to dance, loved to sing, she LOVED Selena. :) I outlined the picture in beans. Why? BECAUSE SHE MADE THE BEST DARNED BEANS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!! And that's no lie! :) The inside of the box will be posted 2morrow! Sorry. :) Till then, have a good nite! I'm glad to be back, sorry for the long post!
