Christmas Card 2010


Here are the other Christmas cards I made using the Brayer technique that I promised to upload over the weekend.I believe I made 10 of these.  I got too wrapped up in all the Thanksgiving dinners and such that I ran out of time. I used SU Paper and three colors of inks:  Bashful Blue, Marine Mist and Not Quite Navy.
**I just love the color of Not Quite Navy.  It is my favorite color of ink and paper that SU makes.

Top Note notecards



I made 66 of these note cards using the Top Note die from SU for Christmas gifts.  I packaged four of them in clear bags and made this header for them.  These are for some very special American Legion Aux. Ladies who take their time and talents to put on a FABULOUS Christmas Dinner/Party that is packed full of goodies and loads of fun for my special needs students.  It is a party that they look forward to each year.  In fact they start asking when the party is going to be even before Halloween.  These note cards are our way of saying Thank You for all that they do for us.
A close up view of the cards.  Each card was different.
 Some were made by stamping on them and others by using rub ons.



I then made some of these notecards for my son to give to his co-workers.  I put in 10 Topnote cards in each of these cute stationary boxes.  I also add a RSVP pen to each.

Bicycle Built for Two

This is a card I made using the Cricut to cut the bicycle and a SU stamps. The wedding invitation had a bicycle built for two on it. I used that idea to make them a card. I also etched wine glasses with their name and a bicycle built for two on it too. These glasses were in a basket of other things.

First Anniversary

This is a card I made for my daughter and son-in-law on their first anniversary. I can't believe it has been one year already. They deserve the beswt anniversary ever. What a sweet couple they make. I'm so blessed to have a great son-in-law that treats my daughter so dear! Love you Abby and Daniel! I use my circut to cut the cards and embossed them and embellished them with black gems and pearls. I stickled the bride's dress. Blue and Green were their colors of their wedding. I used a SU stamp to stamp the Congratulations.

Halloween 2010


We had Red Ribbon Week at school to educated the students at our school about drugs. Each day had a certain theme. Today was Show your character and don't do drugs. We were to dress as our favorite character from a book. My aide and I decided to dress as witches. There is a long story behind why we choose witches. We had a blast. I also made witch hat cupcakes for my students. It was an absolute a fantastic day.

Get Well Card

Here is a card I made with new stamps I just received. It is for a dear friend who is in the hospital. We are going to travel to see him tomorrow. Please pray for his speedy recovery. I used some free samples of cardstock I got from my SU friend. Thanks Jenny. I used my Big Shot and nestablities for the sentiments. A Ribbon and 3 D squares made the card 3D.
