Friends - Very Vintage

Some of the new stuff from the Occasions Mini I was playing around with. Sending this off to a special friend, wait til she gets it, she'll be so surprised! Shuh, don't tell anybody! I used pretty in pink for the base card and wheeled the very vintage jumbo wheel with pretty in pink ink, then I used the polka dots embossing folder and rubbed the chocolate chip ink over the dots. I also used the new corner and edge scallop punches for the frame around "friends" and part of the border. The bottom is layered with the new paper in the mini called Sending Love, it has embossed glittery stuff on it, very pretty, and real red. I also used the new brads, butterfly sizzlet and satin ribbon. Now to make another for me to keep! TaTa for now! Cyndy

Holiday Gift

This past holiday season I got a part time job working at Coldwater Creek in Chester. It was a lot of fun and got a lot of new clothes! Of course I thought about everything in SU colors! Well last weekend they had a party for everyone and we had a grab bag. I used the blocks we sold in the Holiday Mini and made a gift. I used the theme of different holidays (i.e. Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, etc.), I got this idea from my upline Tina Rosenkrans. She had a display at our last Fall Fest. I loved how the blocks turned out and now need to get some more so I can make at least another set for me! Here are the pictures, hope you enjoy them as much as I did and it was fun to make as well!

Sale-A-Bration Swaps

I recently participated in a Sale-a-Bration Swap and just wanted to show you all the beautiful swaps and ideas I got. Ok, I don't know how to edit this any better then it is, so if anyone can lend a hand in helping me figure out how to get these pictures in and take up less space and able to put some of what I'm writing next to the pictures, please let me know. This first picture with the mirror image of the bird wasn't a Sale-a-Bration swap, but Tina added it as a bonus! It's by Michelle Zindorf. She was at our Fall Fest and taught how to do this. She is a very talented lady! the next swap is by Leslie Percival. It looks like she did Rock n' Roll, love the color! Below left is by Kelly Mahoney and right by Jen Peel.

These next 2 are by Debbie VanGieson and Donna Foster.

These two are by Chris Litchfield and Claire Lawrence. Really gotta get that DSP!

This last one is by Debby Kainu, love the bling and this new DSP in the Occasions is sparkly!
