I ordered some expired stamps last week. I know, why expired? As a hobby demonstrator who sometimes does card classes for my friends, I don't usually care if they are current or not--- I just get what I like and what I think I will use. I got 2 princess sets because well, I do have a princess wanna be living here and I thought she would have fun with them.

I decided that we would make wrapping paper for my cousin's daughter's birthday gift. Emily kept bugging me all week about when we were going to make the wrapping paper. On Saturday, last minute of course (the party was Saturday afternoon), we sat down to do it. I showed her how to ink the stamps and let her go. I did have to stop her because she would have kept at it until it was just one big color splotch on the paper. She was not a happy girl! I added the "Happy Birthday" stamping when she was done. I think it turned out wonderful!

Bookmarks

I got on a bookmark making kick in August. My friend, Jami had asked me to make her some so after several weeks, I finally sat down to make them. I pretty much used all scraps. There are magnets between the folded paper so they can be clipped to pages.

HALLOWEEN!!!!!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!!! A LOT!!!!!

Felt a little adventurous and decided to make bag tags for Emily's pre-school class. so fun! here they are! love them!!!!


Emily's teacher was going to have them make treat bags for the trunk or treat at their party but I told her I saw the cutest bags and wanted to get them. I got them at Meijer. The girls (5) got the pink, and the boys (10) got the skulls. I even made one for Emily's BFF, who is in the afternoon class.

Personalized Stationary

well, I've been doing some crafting but I've been very lax about posting the pics! I made this personalized stationary this weekend.



Bookmark made with the Two Tags die:


I started this last set maybe 2 years ago but just finished it today. It's made with the Baja Breeze patterns designer series paper. I've decided that I really love this color!
