Memories

some of you may remember a while back..in February, when i went away for a beach weekend with my girlfriends! ah...wish i was there now! Anyway, on of the gals made little boxes for us and they had these tiny bottles of wine in them. Too cute! so, once we finished our wine, we cleaned the bottles and filled them with sand and shells from our trip. The tag is one from the spa bags i made, I stamped the reverse side with the date, etc.
Originally, i had put sea water in mine too..but it started getting icky! that's no fun, so i emptied the contents into a coffee filter and baked it in the oven for a while to dry it out. Once i reloaded my bottle, one of my darling children thought it could still be shaken apparently, so it is a bit tousled. Still a fun remembrance. I think we shall fill bottles every year with treasures from out trips to save. How fun!



if anyone has any ideas on how to keep sea water "fresh" or from growing things in a bottle, please let me know!

Not sure about using sea water, but would a baby oil work to keep it a shaker?

Love how you did this, our next trip we will have to give it a try.

Well, i have started working on the invites for my DD's clown birthday hoopla! Ok so i had no idea how time consuming it was going to be to color that dang clown stamp! wow! i guess i have never done much of that before. I used real red, tempting turquoise, pumpkin pie, bashful blue, and green galore SU! markers to color the stamp form SU! Clowning Around set. When i do party invites i do a two sided card, like a post card, to save on paper. I did finally get them complete last night, all except for the wording that will go on the back of the card. I have a while to get to that. My DH helped me last night finish these up. The card is Pumpkin pie, and green galore card stock with East coast prep DP also from SU! The circle is punched from Tempting turquoise and the ticket is stamped with Regal Rose in on the same color paper and cut out, then glued to the circle. The ribbon is Real Read Su! grosgrain. The sentiment is from a $1 clear stamp set from Michael's. The nex...

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
