Thirty-One Party!

I am planning to have a "Thirty-One" party on Wednesday January 11th at 6:30pm.  I bought this mini organizer tote at a craft show.  So many of my club ladies have been looking for something like this. So, I decided to host an event.  I've sent out some invites, but if I missed you and you're local and want to attend, please do. You can leave me a comment and I'll get back to you.

I bought the Black Parisian Pop bag

4th Grade Birthday cards!

As Co-room mom for my son's class, I get the honor of making some birthday cards for the kids.  This month we have 5 birthdays, well actually 1 birthday and 4 half birthdays.  For those of you with children in grade school the half birthday makes sense. Anyway, here they are:

The birthday card for Erica.

This card was made with our older paper, "Paper Garden", Blush and Petal card stock.

The half birthday card for Caroline.

This card is made from the older paper pack "Evensong" with a "Miracl" chipboard element flower. This flower is embssed for ink resist purposes.  I love the colors in this paper pack.

The half birthday card for Lizzie.

Lizzie's card has a "Miracle Butterfly" that is setup for resisting embossing, colored with Creme Brulee, Juniper and Sorbet.  The flowers are from the December Constant campaign, Rock the Block stamp set.

The Half birthday card for Jada.

Jada's card is made from the "Life Delights" paper pack, again and oldie.

Half Birthday for Ryan!

These are all 3X6 cards.  They fit well in the standard envelope, and this size allowed me to use some of my scrap pieces of paper, thus all the oldies brought back to life!!

Special Card for a Friend

I have a friend that is getting married soon.  I made this card last night so it could be hand delivered by another friend.  I hope they like it! This is the Sonoma Work Shop on the Go, with the December stamp of the Month.  Colors are Colonial white, Bamboo, Desert Sand, Olive, Smokey Plum anf Petal.

4th Grade Tree

It's that time of year again!  The St. Ann's Bazaar is this weekend, the 11th through the 13th.  I know crazy to do it on a holiday weekend.  Anyway!  Here is the Tree, sorry for the quality of the photo, cell phone shot!). Our theme is Coffee, Tea and Chocolate!

Not pictured with the tree is this nice resealable ceramic jar with shortbread, fruit filled, chocolate bottomed cookies.  It had a nice fruit assortment painted on the sides and top, but didn't really go with our color scheme, so I took the liberty of dressing it up a bit.

The lid features the Somona Paper along with 2 of the Heirloom Assortment rosettes. The image is stamped from the Sweet Moments (C1467) set and hosts a grey opaques from the Licorice assortment. 

I draped the exterior with the same paper from the Sonoma set, wrapped it with a purple ribbon and added a smoke colored dangle jewel from the Heirloom Assortment for a touch of elegance.  I really Love this paper pack.  It works great with Wine country photos!
