First post of the New Year

Here she is Miss Denim girl. She has a gingham shirt with ribbon accents and denim pants with white tennis shoes and a blue ribbon in her hair. It only took two years to make her.

 

 

Here is the booty that I have purchased during my recent LSS visits to Ink About it and Absolutely Everything. Memory Box/Poppy dies, Mo stamps, Authentique Papers, Basic Grey and lots of ribbon.

 

 

 

It was fun finding such new choices to play with so early this year. So hope you are having fun with your goodies too. Enjoy!

Bye to 2012...

I am ending 2012 with two recently completed projects. This perpetual calendar from Pine Cone (via our LSS Absolutely Everything) using the wonderful Graphic 45 papers was completed at my Sister's over the holidays.

 

 

The next is a 1950 style mini album from Farm Goods also from AE for my husband.  

 

Here are a couple pages from inside. I did my own thing with the papers and embellishments. Of course, I added ribbon and pockets.

Well, Happy New Year to all.

 

Our son Kevin graduated from Wheaton College (MA) on Saturday. His girlfriend Hayley was our perfect hostess, because she graduated from Wheaton last year. Aunt Chrissy and Uncle Nick helped us celebrate the day.

We continued our celebration at Hemingway's in RI with wonderful food and wine. Our waitress Tina was so kind and helpful with our selections. It was a great experience. 

Summer Card Camp

OK, It's been a while since my last post. But...I signed up for the Summer Card Camp. Here is my first card using some of the suggested colors and based on the on line video using transparencies.

It needs a little work and it only took 3 hours, but you have to start somewhere.

The stamps and die cut are from Papertrey Ink. The papers are DCWV and Neenah. The gems are K& Co. The pens are Zig and the ink pad is Hero Arts soft pool shadow ink.

Hope you enjoy the card. Have a great, safe 4th of July.

Simple Card

This card was a simple thank you card for work. It is the Lockhart Stamp Hydrangea. Then I layered the flower and popped it. The green pattern paper is Lily Bee Design Picket Fence. Just tied a green silk ribbon and it was complete.
