SCS Kick Stand Card Challenge

Image
OK, so after months of hanging out looking and getting ideas i finally signed up for SCS today. Also, in questing for new ideas i thought i would participate in some of the challenges so that would force me to be creative. Well, here it is. my first challenge...a kick stand card. It doesn't look like much but for some reason it took me a LONG time to do! I kept messing up the stamped image, SU!'s festive four set, and the "happy valentine's day" stamp, from Michael's $1 bin was mounted crooked, so after trying several times to stamp it straight, i finally popped it in the microwave for a few seconds and repositioned it. I think it all started with the black paper...i only had scraps so i had to build an unusual shaped card. Then i wanted to use that heart patterned paper but had no idea what else. It was very time consuming, but i am happy with how it turned out. I hope whoever i give it to likes it. always cyndi

Teacher gifts part one

Image
So this is the mailbox everyone is using from the $1 spot at Target. Here is my version. This is for my son's teacher. I am including a set of six 3x3 cards and some candies inside. I have two pink ones to do also. One for my Daughter's teacher and one for my son's other teacher. I hope they like them. I really enjoyed making them. I wish i was good and could tell you all about the products i used, I can tell you that the gingham ribbon and the stamps are Stampin' UP! but the rest is a mystery to me. I can't wait until tomorrow, maybe i will have time to get the others finished and i will post them for you to check them out. Have i mentioned i am addicted to blogs? mostly reading them, but i have some things i want to show...so i will be posting like mad for a while.

Day 11

Image
This is MY Christmas tree. Not the family tree, but MINE! ALL MINE! (We have 5 trees in this house you know) I have always wanted a white tree, but not for the "main" one. A few years ago someone ran a sale and i got this little beauty for about $20. It is not a GREAT tree, but come on, its white, I am not fooling anyone that it's real! It is just the perfect size for me to have in my room. I was VERY specific about what can and can't go on this tree. It has to be blue, white, or purple..maybe a bit of pink, but that's it! It matches our bedroom. first i cleaned out our existing ornaments and took the ones that were color appropriate...then i got to go shopping! That was fun! I got to get some things too from IKEA (man i love that place) which is cool, and they always have funky (to me) Christmas things. I will take any excuse to drive the 2.5 hours to go to IKEA! So this is MY little tree. DH bought it for me several years ago and i lay in bed and look at...
