Swaps and more swaps . . .

I had to make two different cards for a swap that I was participating in. And of course, I wait till the last minute :)

The first card is Anya Angel (from the Greeting Farm) which I used lots of Stickles on. They are sooooo pretty up close.

The second card is Just Jawing by SU. I used chunky glitter (I love me some glitter)!!!

Have a great Sunday! I'm off the the ballet to see The Lil Mermaid with my grannie :)

More Kitty's . . .

Here are some more Hello Kitty's that I made. The pail is for a guy at work that is selling chocolates for his daughter. We all keep paying him in change and I thought I would make this to put all the $$$ in. I used the Big Shot for this and around the tiara I used pink stickles. I'm sooo sad that you can't see all the sparkely in the picture :( It came out a little on the plain side for me, after I gave it to him, I thought that I could've used more ribbons on the handles. The second Hello Kitty is a card I made with the Cricut for a birthday party we went to. I'm still learning how to use the Cricut, so I cut off her bow on accident :) ooops! And since I always do

things at the last minute, I had to cover the ooopss with a flower and bling! Dang, and now that I look at the picture, one of the ears is more black than white!!!!! OMGosh, good thing the little girl turned 5 and isn't gonna notice all this! LOL!!!!!

Valentine's for the girls . . .

These are the lip balm holders I made for the girls at work, and the 3 girls that work at my favorite breakfest spot, and my girl who does my eyebrows, and anyone else who crossed my path that day!
They are a little on the plain side, but I did soooo many, it was okay. I used the XL purse die in the big shot. And a skull stamp from a set called Love Struck by Pink Paislee. And lip balm by Avon :)

Hello There . . .

I'm sorry I've been missing in action. I have had no creative mojo lately :( But it's coming back slowly. :)
The Hello Kitty tote is one that I CASED from Enjoyli's great blog which you can see here. http://stampingunderthesun.blogspot.com/
I used pink glitter paper around the wings which is really hard to see in the picture.
The Ghirardelli's candy boxes are for the Ronald McDonald House and the pattern I got from Splitcoaststampers. I used a retired SU stamp set that I couldn't part with called "Olive You." My great hubby glued on all the googly eyes for me :)

I'm finishing up on some Valentine treats for the girls at work, which I will get a picture loaded on the blog this weekend.
Have a great nite! I'm sooooo happy to be back!

See all the Snowmen . . .

Being a Stampin Up demonstrator, gives me the great opportunity to volunteer at my local Ronald McDonald House. These cute little snowmen is what I made to send to them. They were made using my Big Shot and the Top Notes die. Circle punch for eyes and I cut orange cardstock for his nose.
I've been on a crafting roll lately, so please stop bye 2morrow and see what I have to post!
