Fast and Easy Birthday Tag

I made this birthday tag for my cousin yesterday as I was on my way out the door. I think it took a whole 2 minutes to complete it including the time it took to mount the stamp (I love the die cut stamps!!!) I inked the image with the tangerine tango stamp pad and wiped off the words with a baby wipe, (they are always handy at my house) and I inked the words with my old olive marker. I stamped it again in bashful blue and with the help of a circle punch and a dimensional it was complete!

Together

I offered a 12x12 swap with my downline this month and this is the page I designed for it. I love love love the basic grey with the baja breeze. I will have to remember to take some pictures of my husband and I and print them in black and white for this page.

jingle all the way

Here is another decor elements frame, this one looks a lot better in person. I love these to decorate with because I love the way the vinyl looks on the glass and they are so easy to make. This is an 8x10 frame and I used the medium jingle all the way image. I changed the background color a lot, I really wanted the words to stand out and the olive or baja breeze DSP didn't contrast enough so I just matched the frame with the white. If you look closely you can see the baja border peeking behind the white.

Create-a-Calendar '09

The Holiday Mini Catalog has the coolest calendar this year. It can be used so many different ways, I have seen it as just a planner, on the onboard clipboards, standing up like the desktop calendar, and on a full sheet of cardstock (a lot like mine). I really liked the idea to display it I just wanted mine to be more sturdy so I attached it to the on board basics. It was really easy to create and a great gift! This is a class that I am offering this year, if you would like me to teach you how to make this let me know!

My favorite part is the storage spaces, you can see here on the back the extra months are safely stored on the back and the stickers to decorate the calendars are in a little pocket on the front! I also love the clip from the Clips Assortment on the front to make it easy to change each month.

Another Upsy Daisy card

This is one of the cards we made at my class today. We used the Urban Garden DSP and the Upsy Daisy stamp set. I love this paper and stamp set! I first saw this paper at convention, they had it laying out on a table for us to look at, I knew when I saw it that It would be on my shelf soon. When I got it I also ordered some 12x12 basic grey cardstock thinking I would make a scrapbook layout but It first turned into a card :) Maybe one day this will be in my scrapbook.
