Memo Paper

Here's a little memo pad/paper holder I created for my Twin ~ Judy.  I got the instructions from Connie Stewart at Simply Simple Stamping.  Just one sheet of CS to make one of these.  Connie is an awesome box maker and her videos give you step-by-step instructions.  She created a shim so all your box lids fit perfectly.

I used Baja Breeze CS and Letters to Santa DSP for the box.  The V and J are from the Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp Set.  I used Baja Breeze ink to stamp some of the memo sheets with J and V's, also the V on the embellishment, sponged around the edges and layered onto a 1-3/8" circle of Not Quite Navy and the Scallop Circle out of Baja Breeze CS.  I ran a piece of Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon around the top and tied it off. I think Judy will like it!

Happy New Year 2011

Here's my first post for 2011!  It's a Birthday Card  for my Step-Grandson, he's going to be 18!  How do those kids get so old so fast??

I used Marina Mist CS for the base, layering onto Crumb Cake CS.  The DSP I used is Blueberry Crisp.  The images were stamped onto Very Vanilla CS.  The Happy Birthday Stamp on front is from the Afterthoughts Stamp Set and the Monogram B is from Broadsheet Alphabet Set.  Inside the cake is from Fun & Fast Notes Stamp Set and the little saying under the cake comes from the Hostess Set Birthday Bakery.  I colored the images with water color pencils and used the blender pen.  I sponged the edges with Marina Mist.  Sure hope he likes it!  (It's up to Papa Bob to put something inside that really makes him smile!)
