My First Wristy

I made this a couple days ago but hadn't put the photo up yet. This is a wristy made out of an altoid type tin. The label started out as white cardstock but I used two of Melanie's "What's in Your Tin" sets and the little flower from baroque motifs to make the label in river rock and blue bayou. The river rock around the outer edge of the lid is a strip of cardstock, and the ribbon is blue bayou double-stitched. I used my CAD to punch a hole in the side for the wrist strap that I will use to hang this on the wall with all the little pieces for whatever my current project is so that I don't lose them (ask me how many projects have had to be put on hold so I could find ANOTHER of a brad/flower, etc. after I lost the first one).

Old Cameo Thanks

Made this card as the model for a swap I'm in, but decided the colors weren't quite as springy as I'd like, so a Thanks card it became. Old Olive pattern paper, Cameo Coral carstock and cream cardstock, Old Olive and Cameo Coral ink, and Old Olive 5/8 in. ribbon. Ribbon slide is from Making Memories. The flower stamp is from SU's Live Your Dream Set, the Thanks sentiment is from Gina K Designs.

Gina K sketch and Basic Pomegranate

This card is for the Gina K sketch challenge #1 in her forum over on SCS. It also uses Color Challenge 157 (Basic Black, Basic Gray, Purely Pomegranate). Stamp set is Gina K's Make A Wish set, ribbon is purely pomegranate satin and unknown black satin. The pom. star is popped over the star stamped image which was done by masking part of the stamp and stamping over and over and over :)

Teal Pumpkin Sky Birthday

This card was made for the Gina K color challenge #3 over in the Gina K forum at SCS. The colors are soft sky, taken with teal, pumpkin pie. I colored the flowers with SU markers and the water and table with Prismacolor Markers. The ribbon is soft sky double-stitched and some unknown orange polkadot. The stamps are from Gina K's set Simple Pleasures.

Color Concoction Candy Box

This is a box I made to put some treats in for one of my coworkers who is having a rough time. The colors are soft sky, pretty in pink, and handsome hunter for Julie's Color Concoction #5. The ribbon is soft sky double stitched and pretty in pink grossgrain. The ink is handsome hunter (as is the dark strip around the base). Flower punched with 5-petal punch. Stem is from MFT stamps It's a Jungle Out There set.

Baby Gifts

Here are the start book and quilt I made for my friends baby shower today. The book uses Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi and various stamps, ribbons, etc. The patterened fabric on the quilt is little green frogs jumping on a pink background with purple dots.

Mojo Baby!!!

This card is for Julee T's Mojo Monday sketch #27. Colors are Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi, Certainly Celery. Stamps are from Seasons of Joy and SAB set So Many Scallops. Ribbon is Certainly Celery. I've had this card done for a few days, but it is for a baby shower today so I wanted to wait until I was sure the momma wouldn't see it before the shower to post it.

A sketcy color challenge

This card is for SC166 and CC156 (Wild Wasabi, So Saffron, Purely Pomegranate) over on SplitCoastStampers. It sure is bright! The stamps are from the SU set polka dots and paisley. Used the five petal flower punch, and boho blossoms punch. Wild Wasabi ribbon.
